    If the grindhouse-inspired, profanity-laced writing of The Typing of the Dead: Overkill offended you, maybe you should just chill out. It's not like it's supposed to be Shakespeare or anything. Now, the new Shakespeare DLC pack? That's Shakespeare, and you can feel free to hold it to a higher standard. The Typing of the Dead: Overkill's Shakespeare DLC replaces the game's default typing prompts with quotes ripped from old Shakesey himself. All your old favorite are here, from "Alas, poor Yorick!" to "A horse, a horse..." and much, much more. It's a midsummer night's scream up in here, and it's priced at $2.99. This week also brings a free update for The Typing of the Dead: Overkill, adding a new competitive story mode and a collection of multiplayer minigames.

    S-C-R-E-A-M! Sega has sprung a surprise release of The Typing of the Dead: Overkill on Steam. Available half-off for $10 through November 1, the game fuses the House of the Dead series with a typing tutor. A typing tutor that teaches you that if you don't learn to write 60 WPM you're going to be zombie chow. This typing tutor also comes with a "full and faithful port" of the original PS3 edition of House of the Dead. There are also plans to add a two-player co-op multiplayer "shortly after launch as free DLC." The game will go up to its regular price of $20 after Halloween.
