Yeah, the X pictures are really hilarious looking.

I hve House of the Dead 3, and a gun, and I haven't even bothered to finish it. There's something about shooting games that's made me buy an xbox gun, and another one for PS2 so I can play Time Crisis 3. I don't know, probably too much clicking involved.

Yeah, I heared this was being play tested in Japanese arcades. Apparently it was using a widescreen HD monitor and had machine guns instead of pistols or the shotguns from House of the Dead 3.

Has anyone actually seen it yet?

Yes, the movie is sewage. I don't know anybody who liked that, or why they even bothered to include a behind-the-scenes segment on House of the Dead 3.

In 2000, I was roaming around Harvey Norman, a local electronics/living store. They had a dreamcast with House of the Dead 2 and two guns sitting there. While I'm looking at the back of a Soul Calibur case, my mother, of all people, begins to randomly shoot the screen. Around 5 minutes later, we're killing zombies.

It's a good thing that House of the Dead 3 includes House of the Dead 2 which is unlockable after completing 3. More specifically, I'm glad the graphics don't suck.

The movie itself looks like it's something from a late-1980's disaster. What a shame it is, to have a good game and ruin the touch by creating a horrible movie followed after it. For example, Resident Evil.

Is Pinball of the Dead any good?

HOTD 2 is my fave although I still havn't played my copy of HOTD 3 with a gun yet. I can't really justify getting a gun when there's so few games that use it. HOTD 3 should have had an arcade perfect HOTD 1 as an extra. The Saturn version plays decent enough but it looks like shit.

And as for the movie being shit, well anything involving Ewe Boll has to be a disaster. He makes Paul Anderson look like fucking Martin Scorsese. And to think that he's got the film rights to so many games.

The movie is brilliant. It's so awful it swings back around and becomes good again. Of course, this is assuming you watch it with friends while drunk.

Alone in the Dark is worse than HOTD, and isn't nearly as fun.

If you like pinball games,then you have a very fine game.
The game has 3 tables and also some bossfights from HOTD 2.

There's a dreamcast game called "Typing of the Dead" which involves the keyboard. It's really hard. Even harder when you don't have a keyboard.

Sadly I have no clue as to what they were thinking when they created this. Sadly most people don't know what the fuck they're doing unless they've researched Typong of the Dead properly before playing it.

As much as I loved House of the Dead 2, the third in the series really hasn't held my interest as much. Eventually I'll end up completing it, but like most arcade games, they're all over in five minutes and leave you wanting more.

On a sidenote, they've rehashed Typing of the Dead something like 3 or 4 times on the PC. Typing of the Dead 2004, Typing of the Dead 2003, Typing of the Dead, and Typing of the Dead (US)

They need to quit trying to squeeze water out of the damn stone and start raping Typing Harrier.

On topic, game.watch has some awesome high res screens

Typing of the Dead is one of those things i aspire to own. those fricking backpacks alone would be worth the price of admission.

i'm rather disappointed with the direction the series is going though. the first one is amazing, the second is really good, the third is alright (despite the stupid shotgun), and the fourth... c'mon an uzi???

also, does anyone know if Hotd 3 got past concept with the cellshading? i would love to see a prototype of that.
I have no sig whatsoever.

Oh excellent, more people milking the House of the Dead series for what it's worth. This has only happened to Sonic, Mario, Sakura, Grand Theft Auto, Pokemon, and god knows what else.

I learned to type with ToTD. Honest. Before that, it was Peck and Hunt for me.

As much as I hate to see their multi-sequel mania, Sega has got to make money.

Widescreen monitor. Cool.

Machine guns would also be cool.
