Sega reveals The House of the Dead: OVERKILL - Extended Cut, Naked Terror
The House of the Dead: OVERKILL - Extended Cut, Naked Terror Revealed
Today we are proud to reveal Naked Terror, the first of two exclusive levels from The House of the Dead: OVERKILLT - Extended Cut.
Naked Terror has you fighting your way through a strip club (a real hardship, I know), the dark and dirty streets of Bayou City and a back roads dive bar. Not only do you have new environments to battle your way through, but you also have new stripper exotic dancer and biker mutants to contend with. But wait, there's more! The coolest aspect of this new level is who you play as, for this level G and Wash are elsewhere leaving you to take control of Varla Guns (previously an NPC in The House of the Dead: OVERKILL) and her cute stripper exotic dancer friend, Candy.
You can download a taste of Naked Terror in the form of several brand new screenshots here:

Using a host of weapons, watch your back as mutants go mad for blood! Blast bloody pieces out of their wretched bodies and uncover the mystery behind the Bayou County outbreak. New goodies like PlayStationR trophies, new game modes and new content are outnumbered by only one thing: Bullets! Will you defeat everything this freakish nightmare town throws at you or will you become mutant chowder?
The House of the Dead: OVERKILL - Extended Cut will be releasing exclusively on PlayStationR3, and will be available in stores across North America on October 25, 2011.

MangaGamer Announces Acquisition of Dengeki Stryker
03 July 2011 - Los Angeles, CA
We at MangaGamer are excited to announce our license of Dengeki Stryker, the sixth and newest game from OVERDRIVE. A mad mashup of crazy comedy, hot-blooded heroics, and lovely ladies, Dengeki Stryker is sure to make a splash.
When Yuuki Yamato fails to keep his childhood friend from being bullied, a stranger offers to grant him any wish in exchange for a memory. Unfortunately for Yuuki, a four year old’s memories aren’t worth much and though he may have lost them all in the trade, he’s reborn as his favourite anime hero, Dengeki Stryker, a cyborg created to defend Japan from the evil Balbora empire! Can Yuuki remember his childhood friend? Can he make peace with the wacky foreigners next door? Can he afford the cost of food with Ninja Jack hanging around?
With planning and prototyping by OVERDRIVE’s own Shinji Katakura and featuring animation inserts by Shinichi Watanabe (Excel Saga, The Wallflower), OP Theme vocals by the legendary Masaaki Endoh (JAM Project, King of Braves GaoGaiGar), and music by Milktub, Dengeki Stryker is set to be an all-star smash.
The demo for Dengeki Stryker is set for release in Autumn 2011, with the full release in early 2012.
