I was going to say that it's a shame that The House of the Dead: Overkill is trying to promote itself as gamers gear up for the release of Valve's Left 4 Dead, but the spoof grindhouse marketing for Sega's Wii shooter has been so excellent that it's managed to remain memorable regardless.
This latest trailer, talking about a hospital, is full of corny one-liners and the kind of awesomely awful material we've come to expect from this game. I want to play it based simply on how brilliant the marketing as been. Good call, whoever came up with this.

amazing.
This is sooo my do want list
They now have HOTD: OverKill, MadWorld, and the Conduit all coming out on the Wii in early 2009. That's an awesome trio of hardcore games to come out from just one Publisher on any system. At alone the Wii!
:)
So awesome.
