well hey house of the dead is a few weeks away, what do we think of this, and does anyone now a release date on the light gun i havent seen it anywhere yet, and the running price?

I'm pretty sure the date is sometime pre-halloween. I would assume for both gun & game. Uh... and unless there's an official or otherwise high-quality gun I'm not buyin'.

Also, IIRC there is an unlockable full version of Dead 2 in this game. When you beat it I would assume.

Is that so? That's one of the coolest special features I've heard of in a long time, especially for a light gun game! Well done Sega. Am I the only one who loves these pumpkin smileys?

Is this an old Dreamcast game I see?
Once you complete Survival Mode on any difficulty, House of the Dead II becomes available. This is a direct port of the Dreamcast game and doesn't appear to have any graphic enhancements. But hey, it's a great add-on and playing II better illustrates the changes from II to III. There's no auto-reload and there are plenty of innocents here, so enjoy the change in experience. And for this one, you really do want to have the Blaster, because unlike HOTD 3 the second House isn't much fun with a controller.

Here is a picture of the Mad Catz Light Gun

A light gun game deserves a light gun, and Mad Catz is delivering with their Blaster. Available the same day as House of the Dead III (October 29), the Blaster is a solid gun that won't disappoint. The constant action won't let you rest, so you have got to keep your trigger-finger ready. There are very few moments to rest said finger, especially if you are trying to find the secrets (by shooting barrels and boxes to reveal coins and earn points).

It was a little hard at first, using the gun, because I'm used to the old HOTDs, which required you to fire off-screen to reload. I kept doing that, even though I didn't have to -- No reloads needed. But, running through the game a few minutes and those old habits began to fade. It's nice that you can reload manually if need be. This helps sometimes with timing attacks to stop an approaching nemesis.
