If you think its the title of some B rate movie, you are WRONG. Its something much, much more bizzare. Take a moment and pick a guess. Go ahead... I'll give you all 5 spaces to think.

All done? Ok, now for the moment of truth. 'English of the dead' is the title for an upcoming DS game. In it, you battle hordes of zombies by.... translating Japanese sentences into English! Let me give a close up on how the gameplay works. When the zombie hordes close in on your DS screens, texts in Japanese will pop up on screen. When this happens, players will have to quickly rewrite the text in English. What follows is the zombies' death but not before they scream the English text. What a way to go. Hilarious, but at the same time revolutionary in its own right. The Japanese sure are good at making quirky games but most of the time, they seem to be able to sell. Look at brain training or cooking mama for instance. As a future teacher, one can't help but to wonder if this game might be a good tool for learning English. Hrmm...
