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.

The House of the Dead series is permeated by an impossible-to-identify “Seganess.” Some combination of arcade-fast gameplay, silliness, and Engrish just makes it feel like a Sega game. For the latest entry in the franchise, Headstrong Games has taken over for Sega’s Wow Entertainment (now Wow Overworks), exchanging the campy horror vibe for something a bit more ’70s-action.
With a new developer (from a new continent!) and a new style, do you think it’s possible for Overkill to still feel like The House of the Dead? Or is the fresh coat of paint actually a good way to distance the new game from its predecessors?
