Click for full cover.
The House of the Dead: Overkill collector’s edition bundle is one of the best preorder items we’ve seen in a while, so it was understandably upsetting when Sega initially revealed the package as a Europe-only bonus. You can pack that pitchfork away for another day, however, because Sega has confirmed it will be spreading the love to North America. Preorder Overkill at GameStop, GameCrazy, or Amazon, and you’ll have the option to bag all of this. Yum.

Apparently GameStop/EB stores have been receiving full
Super Mario Galaxy discs to use as in-store demos. On the store systems, gameplay is restricted to 10 minutes, but the restriction is not inherent to the disc ... which means that if an unscrupulous EB employee were to sneak off with the disc and rip it, he or she could then make the full game available online.
Which is
exactly what has happened. Soon, people who wouldn't buy the game anyway will be playing it for free, weeks before its release. We don't know where it's available, and we're not going to look, and
neither should you. Of course, the dumped game will only work for
chipped Wiis.
For some reason, we can't muster up the expected level of outrage for this egregious crime. Sure, a guy broke the law, but
very few people will actually download this, and we're pretty sure that
Super Mario Galaxy will do a nice amount of business. Besides, you
totally don't get a
free coin when you steal the game. Right?

Well then, who saw this coming? Certainly not us. With a console
being scarce and incredibly popular for
a whole year now, we never would've figured that consumers would be angry they could not find one. The nerve!
But, in all seriousness, we feel your pain. It's been tough trying to get a console ever since it released and when stores like, oh we dunno,
EB Games tell you that they're getting stock in on a certain day and you show up that day to try and get one and they say "Sorry, we
don't have any,"we'd be pretty ticked off too.
And Robert Whitted is the latest casualty, stating "They [EB Games] said they should be getting in a shipment this week, went by there on Tuesday of this week when the shipment was supposed to arrive and they're telling me now what they don't have any in stock." Thing is, they did get the console in, but they're not selling them until Black Friday. "They're telling me that the message from the store should be that they're not selling them until Friday."
Robert feels cheated, going on to say "They're telling me a lie, they're telling the community a lie, that they do not have them in stock and we all know that they will no be getting them in Thanksgiving Day or the morning before they open."

We rejoiced when we heard about Sega's
House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return. Yes, they're ports, but they're awesome ports of classic shooting games on the only system that doesn't
require extra hardware to play them. Luckily, the filthy undead care only for chowing down on brainmeats and have
no patience for economics, thus allowing the game to sell for a mere $30.
That's the same price as
Ghost Squad, but with
two awesome shooters on the disc. We think it's cheap enough for previous owners to pick up just for the convenience of the wireless "gun." And let's be honest -- when it comes to
Sega, ports are often preferable to new games.
