SEGA's The House of the Dead: Overkill has just received a record to be included in the next Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition. The record is for the most use of the F-word ever in a video game. The House of the Dead: Overkill is said to have this F--- word 189 times throughout the three hours of dialogue. Guinness World Records notes that it "equates to just over one [F-word] per minute."

Jonathan Burroughs, writer of The House of the Dead: Overkill, stated: “It is a dubious honour to receive such an accolade working in an industry where so often the fruits of your labours are derided and dismissed for being puerile or irresponsible, but in the case of The House of the Dead: Overkill a little puerility was the order of business. Parodying the profane excess of grindhouse cinema was Headstrong Games’ objective and I am flattered that this record acknowledges that we not only rose to that challenge, but entirely exceeded it.”

Expect to see this record along with many other game records in the next Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition book. The House of the Dead: Overkill is available exclusively on the Wii system.
