    While these killer clowns aren't the kind from outer space, they're still some tough hombres, as you can see in the pair of new videos for upcoming House of the Dead: Overkill. We don't have to tell you how excited we are for this one, because you all usually share our sentiments in the comments following each post on the subject. So, no more wasting time on needless text. Cruise past the break for the two NSFW videos (there's some curse words thrown around).%Gallery-29952%

    Remember that awesome European collector's edition for House of the Dead: Overkill? Well, those of us in the US are getting a similarly sweet bonus package should we wish to part with the extra dough, however our comic doesn't come in the traditional form. Instead, it's a digital download, according to Amazon. In poking around the net, though, we found that Gamestop is offering the comic, but in actual paper form. We're all kinds of confused now!We all know North America will be getting the collector's edition. However, we're not certain on whether it'll be a paper comic or a download. If it's different for each retailer, we're sad to say that Gamestop is in the lead for our pre-order dollar right now. We'd rather have an actual comic we can hold in our hands than one we're forced to read on a computer screen. We're just old school like that.%Gallery-29952%[Thanks, Buffalo_AAA!]

They're pretty much what you'd expect: shots of zombies skulking toward the screen, along with shots of zombies being, uh, well ... shot. We don't know about you, but we're still incredibly excited to play Sega's campy shooter.Click on the image above to see the new screens, or head into the gallery below.%Gallery-29952%

    We don't have to tell you how excited we are for House of the Dead: Overkill. After the game was announced, some details managed to escape Leipzig and we've been counting down the days ever since. Studio manager, Bradley Crooks, recently talked with G4 about the Grindhouse-influenced game, including some of the game's features. Also, Bradley says he thinks Overkill "might be the first game to feature a live birth. Or, maybe it's a live unbirth." Sounds disgusting! We love it!G4's player is a pain in the neck, so you'll have to head past the break to check out the video.%Gallery-29952%

    If you're not familiar with Two Tribes, then you haven't ever played Toki Tori or Worms: Open Warfare 2. Aside from the game's recent release on WiiWare, it was also available on the Game Boy Color. They also did a game on the GBA called Three Tribes. But, we digress. This new title, which is nothing more than some concept art right now, promises "a unique gameplay experience" in an on-rail shooter. Two Tribes also says that the controls will be accessible, as "average players will be able to complete the game while seasoned players will be motivated to go for higher scores and completion rates." %Gallery-27164% [Thanks, psyborg!]
