...for me to write when it's not for anyone. When it's for someone, for some audience, I either go completely blank or I make some lame attempt at speaking to the audience. If it's for me then who cares?
House of the Dead: Overkill is a game that is coming out (maybe in halloween, it'd make sense). All House of the Dead games are generic light gun shooters with zombies... so they're fun but not really deep experiences. Overkill gets my attention because it has some really odd '70s style blaxploitation trailer to present itself. Typically this means the developers are having fun with what they're making and it's a lot easier to have fun with something if it's made that way. You can feel the difference when you play something that, for the developer, was just a job to complete.
Overkill looks like fun because you can feel the fun just by looking at it. It doesn't matter if it's not a deep experience.
