Are your games sealed?
All games sold by Overkill are 100% brand new from suppliers. Whether a game is sealed or not depends on the distributor and whether the game needs a rating sticker applied. Any game that requires a rating sticker to be applied will have no seal - this is the same for all games retailers in NZ.

What region are your games from?
What region are your games from?
We sell NZ games and a range of imports. The region of a game is typically indicated by the rating sticker on the product image on our website. We aim to ensure the cover shown on the site is the actual product you receive. So if it has the NZ rating sticker on the box shot, it's ANZ. If it's the UK cover being show, it's from the UK/Europe. We're happy for you to contact us to ask about any particular game if you are unsure.
Can you tell me when a game is back in stock?
Can you tell me when a game is back in stock?
