Video Review: Typing of the Dead – Exterminating Zombies with the Power of… Typing

And here, out of nowhere, arises another episode from Passagem Secreta's Videocast, that is always a huge success with the public and critics, plus it conquers a new generation of fans with every video released. This time, the game rated is called Typing of the Dead, that, in a nutshell, is a version of House of the Dead II that changes the gun for a… keyboard! That's it! Now, to kill zombies, you must type the words that appear in the shortest time possible. It is an ideal game for those who enjoy dilacerating zombies, practice typing, or procrastinate during work hours! In fact, the game was so successful in Japan that soon after they launched a special version that would send your result in the game for a cadastral database of jobs as a "résumé" for companies that recruited professional typists.

You became curious? Then watch this review and laugh at the awful dubbing of the game, the rough words that appear on the screen, and of the funny voice of this guy talking over the 'ibages', wanting to be a reporter. And be sure to comment, of course!
