Looking for an excuse to pick up the already cheap (and awesome) House of the Dead: Overkill? Amazon has got you covered, as Sega's ill-fated yet profitable zombie blaster is the latest Deal of the Day. These babies are priced to move at a mere $20. If you've been hankering for some decent, co-op undead action, you'd be hard-pressed to do much better.
Be warned though. While one would certainly think a zombie shooting spree would be fun for the whole family, Overkill is not for the kids. Turns out there are just a few swear words in there.

Picked this up first thing this morning. Even though I feel a little bad about not buying it at release I've been waiting for a drop. $20 seems like great value.
Can't wait to get it.

Picked it up at $29 a month or two ago, and I thought that was a great deal! I love this game!! It's like watching a roadhouse zombie movie with a ton of cursing and a lot of fun!
If you like shooting zombies, and you don't get upset by the cursing, be sure to pick this up today!

HotD:Overkill is more of a traditional on rails shooter than RE:UC. Mostly meaning its a lot shorter and feels more like an arcade shooter than UC did. The bosses are also a pushover compared to RE:UC. And you'll also mess up your shot combos in Overkill a lot more than UC with the way the camera spins around sometimes.

I'm playing this right now, just got it from Gamefly. Totally fun; too short and basic to be worth the full $50, but if I didn't already have it in my hands, I'd have ordered it for $20. That's a steal.

Got my copy back in Feb. @full price. and I am not mad or jealous for those who pick it up for $20.
Pick it up, don't think twice about it. The cheezy B-movie styled narrations are easly worth $20 not to mention all the F- bombs.
Happy shopping!

Ya looked like a great game until I learned that is has all the bad language. That killed the sale for me... I also understand that there is not a language filter selection?
