Mavis Beacon VS Typing of the Dead
I learned to type a ton more with Typing of the Dead (the original one) than I ever did with this program at school.
The original ToD included typing tutorials with mini game practice modes and insane difficulty options.
ToD Overkill has no tutorial so I guess this program has a use again.

Still I find it kind of funny we have a new Typing of the Dead on steam before Meavis Beacon popped up.

Either way Meavis Beacon has some serious competition.

For the huge price I expect them to be a lot more competitive with Typing of the Dead :P

Lets get some zombie attacks going and keyboards attached to batteries (and Dreamcasts) already. xD

We are gamers here, we have standards! lol

What you guys think though, whats better?

Meavis Beacon or Typing of the dead (series as a whole) (I'm obviously pro ToD its cheaper and more fun)

Mavis is a much better instructor than TotD. Not even in the same ballpark.

I dunno my typing skill improved twice over when my typing actually had some use.
Like typing a silly story to get the chainsaw man to stop trying to chainsaw my face.
Mavis Beacon just gives you some points and tells you thats fine with a pat on the back.
Some encouragement there.
I will say it does get very technical and detailed about typing technique but its way of practicing is extreamly weak in my view.
Least when they say its a game and put a car on the screen when you are just copying a paragraph on the screen.
Why even add the car on screen? Why lie about it?
Now if I had to type in order to repair the breaks of a car while it rolls down a steep incline or toward a cliff that might be a little better.

Agreed, though I'd prefer a Robot Apocolypse pack just to be different.

You know, I'd love to interview the developers of Mavis Beacon just to hear what their thoughts on ToTD is.
