Yesterday my brother-in-law Jamie alerted me to a game that he thought sounded very entertaining. The game is The Typing of the Dead and it was released by Sega. The game is a recreation of House of the Dead 2 only with a different twist, you kill the zombies by typing words and phrases as quickly as possible instead of pulling out a gun and blowing them away (though each time one of the keyboard keys is pressed it sounds like a gun firing, which is pretty cool on those words that you blow right through).
The game has several modes including a story/original mode as well as drill modes where you can fine-tune your typing skills and it even keeps track of the keys that you tend to make mistakes with and offers drills on those specific keys. On most of the drill modes it gives you a grade based on the amount of time it takes you to kill a certain number of zombies (e.g. type a certain number of words/phrases).
Overall this "game" is extremely entertaining and equally addictive. If you’re interested in trying the game, you can download the demo (which allows you to play most of the various modes)
