As if all the gore wasn’t enough, The House of the Dead: Overkill has made doubly sure that no kid touches it…ever. Guinness World Records has claimed that The House of the Dead: OVERKILL is officially the most profane video game ever, using the F-word 189 times in all in its script. To get some perspective: the 189 instances of f*** amount to three percent of all words spoken in a game, just over one per minute of the gameplay. This ‘overkill’ means that Sega’s title has managed to create a brand new record category; previously the record category existed for movies, music and television. Jonathon Burroughs, script-writer of The House of the Dead: OVERKILL described the record as “dubious honor.” He added that Headstrong Games wanted to parody the “profane excess of grindhouse cinema” and the record confirms that the developers met the challenge with some ease. This achievement of the Wii-shooter will be shortlisted for inclusion in next year’s Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition, which would include all the interesting tidbits from the world of video gaming. Time to load the game and count the F***s for real! And yes, F*** those godd*** zombies!
