Location tests reveal footage of House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn

Back to make you suffer like G did I was pretty damn good atHouse of the Dead. I remember my initials being the only ones on the high score table at my local arcade, and my tacky rapid-firing technique. (See Benecio Del Toro in theSicario 2trailer, he does it halfway through.)
