Sega has released the second part of theirHouse of the Dead: Overkilldocumentary series, and this time the folks at Headstrong try to explain how they came up with the game’s narrative. Really, this doesn’t seem like the kind of thing that would be too tough.So, you get theHouse of the Deadlicense, and right off the bat the whole “kill zombies” thing is built right in there for you. So you don’t have to think too much about that one. Then you find the sleaziest video store in your area (the one that still rents out VHS), and you rent every horror movie that’s packaged in an oversized box. If it’s banned in more than 20 European countries (most of which you’ve never heard of), you’re on the right track. Next, watch the films and take notes. Then, steal all of the best ideas.Finally, make a Wii game. See, how hard isthat?
