Playing a light gun game with a controller? What could go wrong?

The House of the Dead 4 is one of my favorite light gun shooters in the arcade. I used to play it all the time when I was a kid, probably spent more cash than I should have just trying to finish the game.

Now since Sega was kind enough to port it to the PS3, of course I grabbed it at first glance. But I don’t have a PS Move controller, what happens now? Well, I got a controller at least.

The House of the Dead 4 was a turning point in the franchise because it’s the first game to make the player deal with a horde of zombies. And it was also the first game in the series to give you a full-auto gun along with grenades. And most importantly, the voice acting in this game is amazing just like the rest of the franchise.

Opening up this game is always a blast from the past, though I wish I could play with the proper controller soon. Anyways, hope you enjoy the video!
