I prefer the wii remote, we have the zapper thing that came links crossbow training but not really clicked with it.
House of the Dead swears its way into record books
Officially the most motherf***ing profane game ever, apparently
House of the Dead: Overkill has hit the record books for being the most profane videogame in history, clocking in a massive 189 counts of the ever-useful f-word.
The on-motherf***ing-rails shooter, which we've been loving recently, managed to set that record in its "three hours of relatively limited dialogue", which equates to "just over one per minute and three percent of all words spoken in the game". Brilliant.
Jonathan Burroughs, writer of The House of the Dead: OVERKILL, said: "It is a dubious honour to receive such an accolade working in an industry where so often the fruits of your labours are derided and dismissed for being puerile or irresponsible, but in the case of The House of the Dead: Overkill a little puerility was the order of business.
"Parodying the profane excess of grindhouse cinema was Headstrong Games' objective and I am flattered that this record acknowledges that we not only rose to that challenge, but entirely exceeded it." His mother will be so proud.
It'll be shortlisted in the 2009 Gamer's Edition of the book, out later this motherf***ing year.

Got it at Gamestation for £18 the other week, just got round to playing it and twice it has froze on me, once on the opening house bit and the second time, a further bit on in the sewer, its the only game to have froze on me while I've been playing the Wii so I swear it cant be that. I really wanna like it but the constant freezes are making it hard for me to like it

It seems that some older machines have shitty build quality (cheapest parts they could find, probably from old gamecubes) that prevents them from playing all the software properly, really they should exchange faulty machines but they are money grabbing ********.

Killzone 2 am cry.
How can this have more swearing that Killzone 2!? The cut scenes are full of it and in-game the AI is constantly swearing when they're getting shot at.
