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.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Uprising44: The Silent Shadows
Uprising44: The Silent ShadowsUprising44: The Silent Shadows combines third-person action play with real-time strategy. It is a unique combination of the two modes of play, and has an in-depth and interesting story-line which has not yet been used in WWII computer games – the greatest civilian Uprising against Nazi occupying forces – the Warsaw Uprising. It is a story of the Silent Shadows - forerunners of modern day special forces - paratroopers dropped behind enemy lines to organize resistance and use diversionary tactics in the fight against the forces of the Third Reich. An appropriate audio-visual setting combined with cover system (an excellent, proven method of game play), the story-line, and diverse settings ensure a dynamic and enjoyable game not only for players familiar with this type of theme, but also those merely wanting casual entertainment.
