By avoiderdragon: The House of the Dead series will always be remembered by arcade goers who played it during a time when kids asked their parents for quarters to play on the machines instead of their credit card numbers for buying DLCs. The games were good fun and cheesy as hell, with bad voice acting and irreverent humor that actually enhanced the feel. However, it was the spin-off game released in 2001 for the PC and Dreamcast that truly captured the off-beat style, and the gameplay was actually quite good as well. Plenty of people learned how to touch type with it, and that makes it a good educational game. With this new title in the series, that same gameplay is now being introduced to a new generation.
Although Yahoo Answers may be closing down, parts of it will live on, alongside the shambling corpses in The Typing of the Dead: Overkill.
Wow I did not know there is a overkill version of this game! I thought they was only that one based on the 2nd game in the series.

"Working for a site like Eurogamer, you quickly come to realise that everyone on staff has a little gaming niche they're secretly head over heels in love with. Martin Robinson is a big shmup fan, for instance, while Aoife's Stardew Valley addiction currently has her one chicken silo away from a full-blown intervention. My secret passion (for my sins) is typing games. It really doesn't matter what the premise is - if you need to type words to get ahead, I'm into it."
