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.

A fellow friend of mine, Barry the Nomad, from SegaBits made a interesting blog post which is one of my favorites on SegaBits and I wanted to share this article with other fans of the HotD series. In this article, he gives us comparsion between these two games explaining how both games have similar settings to one another. Interesting fact: Rise of Nightmares was created by the AM1 team, the same people that brought you The House of the Dead and was suppose to become a HotD game but was dropped as a idea to become Rise of Nightmares. Here’s the intro

“I’d think any true blue SEGA fan has a special place in their heart for The House of the Dead franchise. Being an arcade lightgun classic, and spanning three console generations, The House of the Dead has produced a number of sequels, spin-offs and even ventured outside of the video game world by way of two horrible films. When Rise of Nightmares, SEGA’s latest Kinect title, was revealed at last year’s Tokyo Game Show, little was known of the game aside from “save your wife from an evil scientist”. Was it internally developed? Was it a House of the Dead title? We just couldn’t tell based on the short and creepy trailer. But now that time has passed, and the game is in stores, we have all the answers. In this week’s Weekly Five we’ll take a look at five reasons why I think Rise of Nightmares sits well alongside the beloved House of the Dead series, despite not carrying the series title, and why HotD fans should check the game out! ”
