The House of the Dead III sees players dispatch hordes of undead with trusty gun in hand, blasting their way through challenging levels of exquisitely-rendered gore with unique time-sensitive gameplay. This third episode in the series takes place twenty years after the "Curien Mansion Incident": the mad scientist's inhuman experiments have continued - but with the doctor long dead, what tortured mind can be behind this gruesome spectacle? Has some despot exploited the doctor's research for his own twisted ends - or has a gate to Hades opened up in our world, spilling forth the unspeakable horror of dark rituals?

Thrustmaster's Beretta 92FS light gun is the only exact replica of the world-famous weapon popularized in countless movies and video games over the years, under official license from Cybergun. The BerettaÒ 92FS is also unique in that it is compatible with newer 100Hz TV sets in addition to PAL 50Hz and NTSC 60Hz models, a unique feature in the gaming industry. Owners of 100Hz TV sets will be able to enjoy the best image quality available while making short work of their enemies!

The Beretta 92FS is equipped with a trigger, start and back buttons, 2 digital buttons, plus a thumbstick for better control in games and menus and also features a reload button just under the handle for easy access. The BerettaÒ 92FS is compatible with all upcoming light gun shooter games for Xbox.
