English of the Dead - yes, that's a game title!

Gothic Girl | February 06, 2008 | News | DS SEGA SATURN 
In an unusual move by SEGA, they have made a new zombie-slaying game. That doesn't sound so unusual, you say? Well it's title might seem a little strange to you, then. It's called English of the Dead.

So what's this game all about? It's quite simple: Players must defeat Japanese-speaking zombies by using English. Yes, you kill zombies with English!

    Haha, this sounds like it's gonna be an interesting, yet very strange, game.

    Lol, that sounds like a pretty original game to play. I don't think I'd buy it (especially with my lack of a DS), but damn it would be cool to play just to see what it's like.

    FINALLY! Sega does something cool again! I thought the only good games from Sega these days were the midly entertaining Shining games, but thank goodness they're doing something original! WooT!

    "Action game where you defeat hordes of zombies with the power of English" XD. As absurd as the idea is, it could turn out to be very entertaining. I'm guessing this won't leave Japan, which is a shame. I might have actually given the game a shot.

    Sega have done this before. Remember 'Typing Of The Dead'? They all walked around with Dreamcasts on their backs and keyboards strapped over their shoulders, absolutely legendary game. On it's own taught me how to touch type!
