Scratch off the vague spring 2008 release window for English of the Dead. Sega has the innovative House of the Dead 2 English training mashup set to come out on May 29. Siliconera has information on the gameplay/training.
In honor of the DS' long lifespan, this week's Important Importables looks at 10 weird games released for the system, like Duel Love, Doki Doki Majo Shinpan, Zombie Daisuki and Vampire Knight DS.
If you ever played House of the Dead, you would certainly be at home with English of the Dead. Think of it this way, instead of shooting bullets in what basically is a rail shooter, you write with the stylus individual letters, words and sentences, and even construct whole sentences from jumbled-up words. Each successful action spells out (pun intended) as a hit, like a bullet hit in the arcade game.
DarkZero: Sega has released an online demo for the upcoming DS release of English of the Dead in Japan.
The game boasts ideas similar to that of Ubisoft's My Language Coach titles, although it is infinitely more fun as it plays like a version of House of the Dead.
