October 29, 2013, apparently.

Them mentioning the 'humor' of the original is a bit worrying. Doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would work well transitioning from 'dear god this is stupid' to winkwinkwink.

Steam's Halloween sale is alright, but Sega won the day by dropping Typing of the Dead: Overkill out of nowhere! It launches at 50% off too.

Awesome stealth Segaton bomb.

Apparently the games industry is actually taking that Brothers challenge to heart.

I want it, I need it. Typing of the Dead has been in my Dreamcast for like 10 years. I wanted to play Overkill, and this seems like the BEST way to do it.

I just finished the first mission. This game is great. The cheesy-grindhouse style of overkill works perfectly with the absurdity of the typing without feeling like it is trying too hard. Both fans of the original typing of the dead and fans of Overkill will like this. And I'm glad that so far I have not seen any internet memes forced into the in-game dictionary. The only negative I see so far is that your player model is not seen wielding a keyboard.

I was looking at all the Halloween games on sale and was starting to get sad that I didn't want to play most.

THEN I SAW THIS.

Unfortunately, they are only holding guns. I hope that in the future they patch keyboards in.

Loved the previous one on the pc & so glad they did this unexpected move as I tried a little of overkill & enjoyed the grindhouse setting but didn't have that much time with the wii. Looks like this will be awesome.

Is there a patch coming that will allow me to play the game? I've done everything short of sacrificing a goat to the Elder Gods and every time I click the button to play in Steam (or even the .exe file itself) the screen goes black for two seconds then crashes to desktop. This on a laptop with Windows 7 that has had no trouble playing other SEGA games or shitty ports.

Yes, and as a typing game, it's only real failing is it doesn't address capital letters (not unexpected as a port of a Japanese game (they don't have them)).
