Got The House of the Dead III today. I was worried that all that flashing that appears on-screen (which is apparently necessary... God knows why) every time you pull the trigger was going to induce severely painful headaches for me, like Confidential Mission did on the Dreamcast (luckily, I never bought that). But so far my zombie busting's been pretty much migraine free.

Also, how come I never heard about the House of the Dead movie preview being on the game disc? I watched it and the movie does look like it'll be worth seeing, if only to compare it to the game and annoy cinema-goers with your "that never happened in the game!!!" rantings... along with the obligatory chucking of the popcorn/sweets/drink at the people in front of you.

Anyway. Good game. I shall review it soon.

can't get into those house of the dead games. too much damn shooting. you end up with arthuritis in your fingers and a facial tick.

time crisis wasn't too bad, and the sequel was good too.

yeah, you have the gun pointed in the right direction before the enemies appear. not much replay factor.

although they are fun to play when sozzled. your aim goes to sh*t

I played the arcade version of HODIII and there was a shotgun... You just kept reloading with the slide thing on the bottom and kept shooting... so tiring!

That's right. I can honestly say that I did not read it.
