Bloody clever bit of marketing from the guys and gals at Sega - a House of the Dead Overkill poster creator, promoting the lightgun blaster which is released this Friday (or today, if you’re in the US).

Featuring a wealth of titles, graphics, character and background art, you can craft your own grindhouse-style movie poster, adding your own credits if you fancy, and muddying the print for added authenticity. There’s even a bunch of tacky filters you can apply to any part of the poster, along with a host of ‘warnings’ for adult content and such like.

You can see one of my efforts above, and I’ve produced a couple more here and here. Do have a go and feel free to link to your own posters in the comments thread below.

We interrupt your Wii news to bring you this important announcement.

Remember The Interceptor? Treasure Hunt? Challenge Anneka?* Well, next week Shiny Media’s tech sites, Shiny Shiny and Tech Digest will be joining in with a live Treasure Hunt that’s going to be more thrilling than all three combined. (Who even knew that was possible, right? I know.)

Hunt organiser, Vodafone, has got us on board to help out with
giving clues and searching for the “Live Guy”, who will be rushing
round to most of the major cities of Great Britain, giving away Dell
Inspiron mini 9 netbooks to anyone who can catch him.

Shiny Shiny and Tech Digest will have more exciting details on Friday, but in the meantime, you can check out the Live Guy website.

And now back to games an’ ting.

*Yes you do - you’re just trying to make me feel old.
