I’ve never been a huge fan of ‘Collectors Edition”, or “Special Editions”, or any other edition that makes the price of the game I want to play $10 or more. I’ve been good about not giving into any ‘edition’ games, because usually it’s a cheap plastic figurine or some yawn inducing making-of DVD. Also, why would I want a bigger box taking up much needed shelf space?
SEGA’s House of The Dead: Overkill might be the game that makes me break my rule. House of the Dead is one of my favorite arcade franchises. I was ecstatic when I heard they were bringing the 2nd and 3rd game to the Wii. Now, we get a brand new game in ‘Overkill’. What’s more is if you buy the Collector’s Edition of the game, you’ll get a graphic novel to go with it.
The graphic novel is a prequel to the actual game. The game and graphic novel follows the story of Agent Washington, and Varla Gunns as they try and survive a zombie attack on Bayou City. The graphic novel looks to have the kind of pulp style that I like. Going by the pictures, it looks like the case itself won’t have to be made all that much larger either.
The Collector’s Edition so far has only been confirmed for PAL territories. I expect a NA confirmation to come soon; it’s just too badass to only give one region.
