What's been extended in House of the Dead Overkill's Extended Cut
Sega posted a bit of an infodump to the PlayStation Blog about the upcoming 3D, HD House of the Dead: Overkill port. The changes go beyond the graphics and the relative glowiness of the controller -- there's actually a list of alterations made to the "extended cut." Those changes include two n...
Mafia 2 takes Guinness f-bomb record; HotD: Overkill effing dethroned

Best of the Rest: Griffin's Picks of 2009
