2/10 WOULD NOT INGEST

I never took a touch typing class, but I type for a living so I figured this would not be so hard.  It is.  The tutorial isn't fun, so I tried the real game.  The real game would be fun if I could type without looking at the keyboard.  I'm going to give this a "Rent" even though I don't think it's possible to rent it.  If you have a GameTap sub, just try it.  I hope you can touch type, or are willing to learn.

Okay this game is awesome and you know it.

How are you reviewing typing games when you can't type properly  Ohhhhh, I see.

It's biased!

I'm actually shocked Yeg has to look at the keyboard when typing.

I'm going to have to agree that this is the greatest typing game ever.

In fairness the competition for greatest typing game ever isn't exactly huge.

Though admittedly it's not really my cup of tea either. I can touch type but not much beyond 4 fingers so I'm not the speediest.

I am properly ashamed by my failure.  Typing for a living and what not.  If they were all AIX commands, I'd be OK.

Back in my day we learned how to touch type on *manual* typewriters and liked it!

Touch-typing is sort of a necessary skill for the game.

My first couple of playthroughs I thought it was a little hard.  Then I found out it's not really case sensitive and you can ignore spacing.  Like if the sentence is "The Monkey is eating my Pickle" you can just type 'themonkeyiseatingmypickle".  Then it was a little too easy.  The fact that the avatars actually have little backpack keyboards, like they're typing shit to death themselves, makes this one of the finest games ever created.  BUY BUY BUY!

As is an index finger for the lightgun version.

TotD always kicked the shit out of HotD.

House was just another light gun arcade zombie game. Two player Typing of the Dead was like a certified nerd-off.

I'll type any challenger's ass straight into next week.

Jesus, I had forgotten about this one. This was pure hot and cold liquid running awesome from both taps, if only because you 'played' as a group of MIB-equivalents with dreamcast backpacks and waist-mounted keyboards. The only thing that pissed me off was that I actually bought that fucking dreamcast keyboard, but never played this until it was a bargain-bin PC port...
