Overkill 3 for Xbox now available on Windows Phone, features 'cutting edge console graphics'
For those looking for a console-level third person shooter for Windows Phone, we may have just found your game. Overkill 3 is now available for Windows Phone 8 devices as previously announced, and it features some outstanding graphics and exciting gameplay.
Published by Game Troopers, Overkill 3 is the latest game from the developers who brought us 'Tiny Troopers' and 'Make it Rain'. Like those games, this is an Xbox enabled title, something that should excite many gamers.

Overkill 3 is a rather massive game, weighing in at 475 MB, so make sure you have some room to spare. Additionally, because of the quality level of the game it, unfortunately, will not play on devices with 512MB of RAM. The developers even released a statement on this issue:
Overkill 3 is a free download, and it looks to be an outstanding addition to Windows Phone. Watch the teaser trailer above or just follow the download link to get it for your phone.
A Windows 8.1 version of the game should also be due soon. We will follow up with a separate article when that becomes available.
