Sega has announced Typing of the Dead 2, and in the process has made anyone who has taken a typing class feel like their schooling could have been so much more interesting than it actually was. For those unfamiliar with the title, Typing of the Dead is basically a version of House of the Dead where gamers must type quickly and accurately in order to kill enemies, rather than shoot them.
Typing of the Dead 2 is reported to run on the House of the Dead 3 engine. It will feature multiple endings based on the player’s skill level, and will be sure to cause me bitter frustration as I attempt to get anything but the worst of them. It is scheduled for release in Japan this July, but no date has been announced for the U.S. as of yet.
