Tara Long and I checked out the upcoming House of the Dead: Overkill Extended Cut, coming soon to PlayStation 3. Sporting a lovely visual upgrade with rather impressive use of 3D and the excellent accuracy of the PlayStation Move controller, it's taken a game that I already liked and turned into one I'm excited to play again.
Check out the video for more of our impressions and stay tuned for more E3 coverage from Tara and I as the night progresses.

F*@%! This motherf*@%in' game is gonna make me buy a motherf*@%in' Move! But what I wanna f*@%in' know is if I can still play a-f*@%in'-kimbo style with one f*@%in' gun in each f*@%in' hand like on my f*@%in' Wii?
At least Tara managed to look pretty cool wearing the glasses and gun accessory (just kidding no one looks cool wearing the glasses and gun accessory).
Gumby trucker- play it now, the problems are more glaring without a nice layer of age to cover them up.
Dv8thwonder no, just no. If anything I'm happy I get to play this again with a steady frame rate that doesn't stutter at the most crucial points, loved the game, but wii couldn't handle it.
One of the best games on Wii. Only problem I had with it was the easy bosses.
I'm pissed that they're not bringing a sequel to Wii.
I'd love to play the new material, but its simply not worth buying a Move for.
Also, the Wii version used the infra red. You cannot get more accurate. The accuracy is perfect, unless you've set up the sensor bar wrong.

Now excuse me while I go eat some soap...
Yeah, it was broken and glitchy and the first game that showed me just how far behind wii was.
I hope this sells so sega has an excuse to release 4 or a complete (hd?) collection?
Such is life.
You're exaggerating.. There are plenty of Wii games that didn't work on the system. This was definitely not one of them.
It's one of the very few games where I welcome gratuitous swearing. :)
