Two pieces of good news for the price of one. Firstly, House of the Dead Overkill charted at number 10 in the UK All-Formats Top 40 (single SKU) chart, and secondly, developer Headstrong Games has claimed it is keen on making a sequel.

Wii’s finest lightgun title to date couldn’t quite topple the Xbox 360 version of FEAR 2 as the week’s biggest horror-shooter, but outsold both the PS3 and PC versions of the latter as it reached fifteenth spot on the multiformat 40 - not bad for a single-format title, albeit still not the numbers it deserved. Perhaps positive word-of-mouth will push it even higher? We’ll know next week, though a raft of new titles are released this Friday which could nudge it further down the chart. (Wii Fit was, rather boringly, number one this week. AGAIN.)

Meanwhile, SegaNerds.com has a video interview with the guys from Headstrong in which they talk all about Overkill and how they’d definitely be interested in developing a sequel. Which is obviously very good news indeed.

Well worth a watch, that vid. Check it out here.
