Check further down the page to find out what SEGA have been sending over to the N-Europe Towers to promote the newly announced The House of the Dead: OVERKILL for the Wii...

Cast your minds back to the events of Tuesday, and you should remember that SEGA announced a little title called The House of the Dead: OVERKILL for the Wii at Leipzig. OVERKILL sees you stepping behind the many guns of Special Agent G as he teams up with Agent Washington to take down blood-thirsty zombie hordes in Louisiana - the classic, fast-paced arcade shooting action which has become a staple of the franchise is unsurprisingly present.

Interestingly, a mysterious package dropped through our letterbox earlier today containing what appeared to be a VHS cassette. Upon closer inspection and several minutes of prodding said cassette with wooden sticks, we realised that the parcel had been sent by SEGA and was in fact a promotional set from SEGA for The House of the Dead: OVERKILL.

The box is intentionally weathered and ironically (and probably purposefully) made to look like a zombie B-movie VHS rental. Opening the box reveals a fake VHS tape slip, which is in fact a postcard teaser for the game. A little bundle in the box, cleverly disguised as a parcel to Isaac Washington, contains a promotional t-shirt which magically expands when placed in water (hours of breathtaking entertainment right there).

We've taken a few grainy photographs of the brilliant promotional material with a mobile phone (Tom locked our cameras in his special cupboard following 'the Christmas party incident') for your viewing pleasure. We'll upload some more pictures when we've 'grown' the t-shirt, but for now here's a bit more information directly from the box art of the press pack.
