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!

Operation Thunderbolt
Operation ThunderboltOperation Thunderbolt is the exciting sequel to Operation Wolf. An airliner is hijacked by terrorists en-route from Paris to Boston, who threaten to kill all hostages on board if their mates aren't released from jail. Instead of reaching its destination, the airliner makes a landing in Kalubya, Africa, and all the hostages are hidden in various locations. The authorities have asked the hero from Operation Wolf to rescue the hostages, but only this time, the hero brings his friend along for the ride. There are eight missions to complete in Operation Thunderbolt, and each one has you shooting down soldiers, choppers, and tanks. The gameplay varies every one or two missions. In some missions, you are driving a jeep or controlling a boat, while in others, you are walking while you're shooting. You have a limited supply of ammo, and a limited supply of rocket bombs, but you can always stock up by shooting down crates falling from the sky, or by killing a cat or dog that get in the line of fire. Also from crates, you can get special items like bulletproof vests, rocket bombs, and different weapons.

Spy Hunter
Spy HunterOriginating in the arcades, Spy Hunter is a driving action game played from an overhead point of view. Your car is equipped with machine guns to help you get past the numerous enemies out on the road (be careful not to shoot any civilians, though!) Occasionally you will come across a weapons van, and if you drive into the back of the van your car becomes equipped with a second weapon (such as smoke screen, oil slick, or missiles). At several points the road splits and you can enter a boathouse which transforms your car into a boat temporarily. If you drive far enough the seasons change as well (watch out for icy conditions during winter!). The enemy cars will do anything to stop you, including running you off the road, firing guns from the back of a limo, or dropping bombs from a helicopter.

Commando
CommandoSeveral levels await your super-tough Commando in this arcade conversion. Armed with only a standard rifle and a few grenades you must take on hordes of enemies. Some are wandering around in the open, while others have picked out hiding places, which you must approach from certain angles. Trees, rivers and bridges create a varied combat-like terrain and must be incorporated into your thinking. Extra grenades can be collected, and will definitely be required, as they allow you to kill from distance and thus avoid some enemy shots.
