This is my TRUE story:

One day i went into gamestation with a £1 coin. I searched and searched and searhed until i found house of the dead 2. I jumped with glee! I took it to the checkout, then took it home. I played it for a while, then went to find out more about it on: wikipedia. (im that sort of guy :P) I saw something called typing of the dead. I was amazed at the aspect of this game and diecided to try a demo. It weas BRILLIANT! having to typre words and phrases before tyou die! i went to buy it on amazon. And you would believe the prices. £70!!!!!! For a 6 year old game (Not for 6 year olds, but made 6 years ago):( Its a rip-off but i despretly want it :-(

So thats my story :p

Beats Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, I can tell you that ;)

I loved this game as much as I did the shooting one. What I love the most about the game is how they replace the guns with keyboards strung around your neck.

Heh, if I were still a hunt and pecker, I wouldn't use the computer so often. That game is poison to the young population, show it to Hilary Clinton!

I'll have to look into it. I'm a half arse typer - I still kinda have to look now and then, and I hate it.

Plus i'm kinda a big proponent of violence.
