Great news, classic gaming fans, as Games Radar reports today that SEGA has just announced at a press event at GDC in San Francisco that it will be releasing an iOS version of its classic on-rails survival-horror shooter, House of the Dead Overkill. SEGA also released some screenshots from House of the Dead Overkill: The Lost Reels, and some tiny titbits of information, with Games Radar reporting that the iOS game will not be a straight port of the Wii and PS3 versions of the game, but will be more of a remix. Apparently, you will not initially be able to tap to shoot in the game, as this feature will only be unlocked by a first playthrough of the game, until that point, youll only be able to shoot by using the accelerometer or virtual joystick. Sounds a bit strange, but SEGA has scarcely put a foot wrong with its mobile offerings, with Sonic Dash being just the latest example of SEGAs excellent handling of a classic franchise in the mobile gaming age. Of course, it should be noted that House of the Dead Overkill is itself a remake of the mid-nineties arcade and SEGA Saturn game. [/FONT]
