“Being rated higher than Killzone 2 is awesome” – Headstrong Games


11:4013/02/2009Posted by David Scammell6 Comments

Talking to us earlier this week, The House of the Dead: Overkill developers Headstrong Games have expressed their delight at having their game score higher than Killzone 2 in the most recent issue of EDGE Magazine.

When asked how it felt to be rated higher than Killzone 2, lead producer Neil McEwan replied:

“It feels pretty awesome! You know, because we thought we’re on the Wii, it’s a light gun game, it’s another on-rails shooter, we thought people would bring us down.

“I skipped home with EDGE’s review. We put a lot of effort into this game and I think that shows.”

The House of the Dead: Overkill was given an 8/10 in EDGE this month, while Killzone 2 had to settle for a 7, which sparked quite a bit of debate amongst you all.

The House of the Dead: Overkill releases today exclusively on Wii and you can read our full interview with Headstrong Games here.

    Being rated higher by EDGE is like being the smartest kid with downs syndrome.

    i don’t think it’s a fanboy thing.. check average reviews on both games.. overkill got a 8 average from 12 critic reviews .. so here edge was being fair.. and killzone ot a 9.1 from 32 critic reviews!!
    it’s just so obvious that edge are just looking for attention..
