The House of the Dead: Underpriced at Newegg

by JC Fletcher { Nov 10th 2009 at 4:15PM }

If you like film grain effects, shooting zombies, and getting cursed at, but you haven't picked up The House of the Dead: Overkill yet, this deal from Newegg is exactly what you've been waiting for. The online retailer has marked the game down to $12.99 (with free shipping).

Be warned, there really is a lot of cursing. Even the first 15 minutes of the game sounds like someone stepped on Samuel L. Jackson's foot. That's what that M rating is about. Well, that and all the disgusting dead people exploding and stuff.

It's on back-order now - dunno if it was when you posted - but apparently Newegg allows you to place an order at $12.99 still. Cool.

I thought this was a great buy at $30. At $13 it is an amazing deal.

This is not for kids unless you want them to sound like they are straight out of the movie Pulp Fiction but with more F-bombs. If you can get over that it is fairly funny.

I ordered this at newegg yesterday. What an awesome deal, I hope it lasts for a while.

This game was motherfucking awesome. It really needs more Goddamn attention. (Seriously, the degree to which this title went unappreciated is criminal.)

This game really is a lot of fun and its too bad it didn't sell better than it did. If you don't mind that some of the words AREN'T f-bombs, then I highly recommend this title. Also, if you like this, you really need to buy Dead Space Extraction. while the mechanics are the same, the games feel entirely different. HofD is the campy, over-the-top, Terentino inspired experience, while DSE is like playing through a movie.

Maybe it's just me but I didn't really think the cursing was THAT prevalent.

Then again, I consider Deadwood to be the best television show ever made.

I Gamefly'd the game and thought the glitches were game breaking.
But 13$ seems to be a fair price for this game.

That is a good price for this game, but the cussing makes it a turn off for me when I rented it.

I must be too late. It's showing up as 19.99 for me.
