The House of the Dead III now available on PSN

The House of the Dead III is now available to download on PSN with HD graphics, trophies and Playstation Move support exclusively on the Playstation Store for $6.99.

Here’s what Senior Vice President of Digital Business at Sega of America, Haruki Satomi has to say. “We know not everyone has easy access to an arcade with a House of the Dead cabinet, so we wanted to give players around the world the chance to have that same experience in their living rooms. “We hope everyone enjoys The House of the Dead 3’s classic gameplay and new features, and look forward to introducing console owners to the fourth, previously arcade-only, installment later this spring.”

Not only that, this newer version of House of the Dead III includes a bonus reward for players to earn in-game. A very own “The House of the Dead III” Arcade cabinet for Playstation Home. Also PS + users get a free dynamic theme and avatars.

So pump up your shotguns and send zombies straight back to hell as Rogan’s hot headed daughter, Lisa Rogan and former AMS agent G. True Horror Lies Here. Can You Face The Fear?

Taste of the Flesh: Menu of the Day Part 3

For the menu of today we introduce to you the lovely damsel in distress, Sophie Richards.

Richards Blush Petite

“Fresh, young and clean – begs to be drunk! The charming aroma beggars description: layers of jammy platelets, lymph, venous gore beta globulin, and a round, uncontrived plummy afterglow. The flavor more than lives up to the promise of the nose; lush, seductive and supple. Perhaps a trifle blowsy, but not over-rich. a corpuscular, smooth mouthfeel leaves the tongue aching for more. this may be the perfect libation for the holiday feasting season. Very highly recommended indeed!”

Appearance: 5/5

Nose: 24/25

Flavor: 29/30

Complexity: 9/10

Balance: 10/10

Extremely Rare Prototype House of the Dead toys on sell on Ebay

Thanks to avid Sega fan David Gray who gave the tip, a seller named corndogcollectables are selling all 11 prototype toys for over $3,000. Now that’s a mad bargain right there. Here’s a little fun fact of why these prototypes weren’t sold to the market. The main reason was that the first series of The House of the Dead toy line didn’t sell well in order for a second series to be released. Palisade Toys had no choice but to cancel the toy line. Luckly, this is the chance for people to buy them now, if your rich that is. Here are more pictures of the toys.

The House of the Dead 2 now available on SEGA’s Digital Store with a unique rating


The House of the Dead 2 for the PC is available on the Sega Digital Store’s website for only $9.95 with a Early Childhood rating. Just a minor mistake on Sega’s part and hopefully it’ll get fixed soon. Imagine three year olds working for a secrect government on a mission killing zombies. It could happen.

Taste of the Flesh: Menu of the Day Part 2


Here is part two for what is on the menu for today. This time we introduce you to the mysterious AMS agent G.


Liquor Sanguinis della G

“A dry but filling puckery mouthfeel with an intriguing gout de pierre a fusil characterizes this small varietal white. Its problematic, possibly overcomplex, body may take you offguard with the depth of its leukocyte finesse and underklying metallic prickle. The high globulin count recommends thorough decanting, lest the flavor become medicinal. In all, a respectable table blood, at its best with pasta, fish and even pizza for the adventurous palate.”

Appearance: 3.5/5

Nose: 20/30

Flavor: 25/30

Complexity: 8/10

Balance: 7.5/10

Finish: 13/15

Overall Impression: 4/5

Taste of the Flesh: Menu of the Day Part 1

Hello everyone, today I wanted to show what’s on the menu for today. If you guys ever own a copwoy The House of the Dead for the Sega Saturn, you probably know where this is going. Each day, I will post the menu of the day of all three characters. Our two favorite AMS agents, Rogan and G and the lovely Sophie Richards. Today we’ll start off with Thomas Rogan.


Chateau Rogan No. 9

“This big jug red greets you at uncorking with firm attack – fleshy and full of extract. Plenty of body, with overtones of hemoglobin and rich plasma robustness, but never lumpy or clotted. Its challenging nose is bold and sanguinary, with an aggressive character that demands your full attention. A long, extraordinary ‘serumy’ finish completes the overall effect, making this a must-drink for connoisseur and neophyte alike. Serve with fava beans.”

Appearance: 4/5

Nose: 22/25

Flavor: 27/30

Complexity: 8/10

Balance: 8/10

Finish: 14/15

Overall Impression: 4/5

Obscured Ways to Promote the Dead: The Commercial of the Dead Part 2

Picking up where we left off, here are more crazy HotD advertisements by SEGA

Come on FRIEND, Learn Zombie Engrish!


English of the Dead is a direct spin-off to Typing of the Dead, which is also a spin-off to The House of the Dead 2. But, instead of typing to blast zombies away with the keyboard, you use your stylus on the DS by writing letters in English (Death Note spoof). The only flaw is that its a Japanese exclusive, but you can always import it and play it on your original Nintendo DS. Other than that, this trailer shows how much Sega is advertising this game from zombies in tutus to Goldman holding a baby David zombie. This game looks quite enjoyable and funny to play. Check it out if you want?

Loving Deads


You may know these two main characters Zobio and Zobiko from Sega’s All-Stars series, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. If your wondering where they originated from, these two love birds first appeared in Loving Deads: The House of the Dead EX where they must escape from a mad scientist and spend the rest of their lives together. The trailer shows us the story of the game as mentioned before and then cuts to the gameplay with the House of the Dead 4 theme playing at a faster rate. If you thought Typing of the Dead and English of the Dead were wacky, this game is WAY beyond wacky. This game is basically a party game where you play different types of mini-games like brushing Justice’s teeth, catching apples, zombie sumoing, and AM1 even referenced The Matrix where you have to dodge pies in bullet time. What’s even more funny is that Zobio is wearing Neo’s clothes, while Zobiko is sporting Trinity’s trends. With SEGA porting The House of the Dead III & 4 to the PSN, there might be a possible chance that this game will be ported as well.

BRTUAL… SHOCKING… UNREAL… The Hardcore you’ve been waiting for.


To close this showcase, I present to you The House of the Dead: OVERKILL. The game was created by U.K. studio Headstrong Games and published by Sega. This game is also a prequel to the very first House of the Dead game. Sega hired Headstrong Games to create a new HotD game for them with a different style and setting. Headstrong Games decided to make it a gritty, grind house, double feature style video game with more adult content and extreme use of gore. Not only did they do that, they’ve also added new characters and written the story. But which shocked fans like myself was the profanity such as the word “Fuck!” This was very unusual in a House of the Dead game, but fans did enjoyed the comedy. This trailer made by Sega definitely shows that this game is the hardcore you’ve been waiting for.

Bonus: Even though this isn’t HotD related, this is by far the most interesting trailer of Rise of Nightmares.
