In case ten reasons weren't enough to get you to play House of the Dead: Overkill, here's an 11th: it has set the world's record for most instances of the F-word. The zombie shooting game for the Nintendo Wii will be included in next year's Guiness World Records: Gamer's Edition for its 189 uses of F-word, which constitutes 3% of the dialogue. The AFP article quotes writer Jonathan Burroughs of Headstrong Games:

It is a dubious honour to receive such an accolade working in an industry where so often the fruits of your labours are derided and dismissed for being puerile or irresponsible. But in the case of 'The House Of The Dead: Overkill', a little puerility was the order of business. Parodying the profane excess of grindhouse cinema was Headstrong Games' objective and I am flattered that this record acknowledges that we not only rose to that challenge, but entirely exceeded it.
