Now here's a game I used to play with my mom true story. This was a rather unexpected game within the franchise. The team went for a more grindhouse style prequel game. You could argue how it's more of it's own thing to a degree. This is still among the best House of the Dead games I ever played!!! There's a great upgrade system that helps bettering your chances in later stages. I previously played the original Wii version. I missed out on the extended version for PS3. You play as one of two agents taking on the undead. Some mess up possibly offensive bosses. The game play itself truly solid from start to finish. You get a lot of nice content as you play the game. You can play co-op with an friend or family member. You also try your luck playing with two guns at once mode. There's an extended mode that I do enjoy more. The art design is among the most interesting in the franchise. The audio as a whole truly rememberable. This was a surprisingly decent rail shooter game for the system. Easily among my favorite rail shooters I ever played!!!

This game is hilarious. Is not the most polished game in the franchise, but the humor and the setting are fenomenal for this game. Remember having tons of fun playing this game with my sibling on the Wii back in the day. I would love having a modern and legal version of this game available to play.
My favorite game for the Wii by far, I would love to play this with a mouse. It would be even better if a VR port could be made of it but I will be happy to settle for a flat version.
So many fun memories of playing this with my dad on the Nintendo Wii. Even back then I could understand most of the humor, and it was an awesome experience. Would love to see it back and play with my old man again!

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
Mercenaries 2: World in FlamesMercenaries 2: World in Flames is an explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn world. A power-hungry tyrant messes with Venezuela's oil supply, sparking an invasion that turns the country into a warzone. But for you, international crisis is all upside: You are a mercenary, and you profit from chaos. Mercenaries 2 features a slew of potential clients, all willing to pay you to do their dirty work. Dirty deeds, done for exorbitant fees. These are world powers with deep pockets, deep grudges, and enough arms and ammo to start World War III. This is your kind of environment. Mercenaries 2 features the latest and most dangerous in civilian and military tech, everything from shiny new sports cars, to the future-tech satellite-guided bunker-busting mini-nuke. Tanks, APCs, boats, luxury automobiles - you name it, you can have it delivered to you in real time. And if you run out of cash you can always 'acquire' the gear you need in the field. If you see it, you can buy it, steal it, or blow the living crap out of it. Play your own way, or play with the help of a friend in the new cooperative multiplayer mode. You are not a soldier. You don't have to play by anyone's rules. You have your own code: you will fulfill the terms of the contract, no matter what. Not everyone in the world of Mercenaries is as honorable. Everyone will try and screw you, given the chance. They think they can get away with it, because they don't know rule #1: EVERYBODY PAYS.
