Post The House of the Dead: Underpriced at Newegg

If you like film grain effects, shooting zombies, and getting cursed at, but you haven't picked up The House of the Dead: Overkill yet, this deal from Newegg is exactly what you've been waiting for. The online retailer has marked the game down to $12.99 (with free shipping).

Be warned, there really is a lot of cursing. Even the first 15 minutes of the game sounds like someone stepped on Samuel L. Jackson's foot. That's what that M rating is about. Well, that and all the disgusting dead people exploding and stuff.

Great deal. If I only had an extra $13 laying around but unfortunately I don't since I just dropped $120 on 360 games.

This game is fun enough, definitely worth $13. Anyone who's been on the fence should throw this into your holiday budgets.

Aw man, did I seriously miss this? It says it's $19.99 now on Newegg (which is still a low price but I would have loved to get a new Wii game for $13)

I probably would, but since it's crazy with swears and violence, I'd have to play it either when my little sister isn't home (which is rare) or move the Wii to another room (as it's in the wide open living room right now). But that's a bit inconvenient.

I understand where you're coming from on this. I have a 3 year old son who I do not play most of the games I enjoy while he's around because of language or violence. This forces me to play them at night when he's in bed and stay up late. This has caused my play time to drop and it's hard to play online with my local friends.

Yeah, I've mainly just played M-rated games when they're for PC since I can play with headphones on and don't have to worry about swears going all over the place.
