GameTap gets Typing of the Dead in October

Although we know we shouldn't be excited about this, we can't help but get a little giddy at knowing Typing of the Dead is coming to GameTap Oct. 11. If you haven't experienced the joy of learning to type (or getting in a little practice) while killing zombies and other grotesque creatures, than we highly recommend you try it out some time. Now we just need that sequel to come out. There is still no word on the Typing of the Dead 2 North American release.

There is a list of some other interesting games on the horizon for GameTap, but another game that certainly jumps out is Wing Commander II. Who wasn't upset when Spirit died? Tragedy. The only thing more tragic is that we haven't had a new real Wing Commander in ages -- and Project Sylpheed just didn't cut it. We want evil space kitties to shoot down in epic next-gen battles!

[Thanks Max]

What do you mean you shouldn't be excited about this? OF COURSE YOU SHOULD!

C'mon, it was awesome.

my words exactly, its an amazing concept done right.

Agreed! You should be very excited. I know I am! This is SEGA at their absolute best. Taking a completely ridiculous concept and turning into one of the finest games every created. It's been a while since I've played it, so I'm really looking forward to playing it again. Truly a 10/10 game.

Hopefully they'll put it on the free service pretty soon so more people can experience this bizarre gem. ^_^

I was unsure about whether or not to get GameTap once I finished building my new gaming rig. This seals the deal. Getting GameTap.

You know I could actually not touch type until 2 years ago.

I bought TFTD on Dreamcast on eBay for $10. I learned to type, PLUS this game is AWESOME. It is a great tool for learning to type quickly. The minigames train you in specific areas, you can set it to give you keys you are bad at most often as well. Plus it's great when you have 1 hit point left, and all the zombies have text like "You are so screwed" and "just give up now" over their heads!!!
