That's right! You spell out words using a cellphone keypad as fast as possible.
Finally, a game that chicks are probably better at!
 
WTF? What a pathetic bunch of kids this new generation is.

If I see one in the wild, I'm stealing the phone.
 
C'mon, Yag... You're posting a picture without cuties in it??? Wat tha! :D

Yeah. Game fail. And +1 to what Gozer said.
 
Apparently that thing is real. I thought it was a joke when I read it, given the CGI picture and absurd premise of the game.

This is certainly a game that airheads could excel at.
 
Ugh. What have things come to? These must be the end days...

Is there also a 'texting' class in school now as an elective?

Imagine how exciting it would have been to have a 'typing' arcade game BITD. I did 'play' a typing game on my computer to learn some typing skills. I think it was 'Mavis Bacon Touch Typing' on my Apple IIe.
 
watched the video and those controllers are way too big. at least if it's supposed to simulate texting. Hell why do they even have controllers can't they make it so you could dial in to the game with your own phone and use it to send the texts? Then when you win it could send you a text telling you ...You win! Not to mention the fact that they would have your phone number so they could send you texts to remind you to play. Or give you free credits as incentive to play or something.

My first thought with the falling letters was it looks like tetris. Maybe they can make a version of tetris that you control via texting. Textris. Would probably be a hit these days.

I wouldn't have necessarily thought so. But, I read today that the National Enquirer is up for a Pulitzer. So, now I'm inclined to agree with you.

Yah.....only if there was a steering wheel and gas pedal on the game as well - then Chicks would be REAL good at it!!

Im so sick of seeing people (mostly women) texting while driving. A friend of mine just lost his 29 year old cousin on Sat cause SHE was texting while driving and hit a tree - fatally. I also had some chic blow through our subdivisions Stone wall at 1am (35mph limit btw) blowing bowling ball sized chunks over 200 feet! Yah 35mph my ass! She at least "walked" away - after me and another guy rolled her vehicle over that is.
Sorry - I just have issues with people living on their cells when they climb into a car - and yes its mostly women I see. people need to be reminded its a vehicle - NOT a phone booth!

Argh!! Cursed texting phones! (Slams phone on ground.)

This is game over for arcade games as we know it.

Has anyone seen the new paddledog Crazy Climber game coming out in japan? I looks freaking unrealistic and crappy...

Just imagine is we make it to space travel... boy that would be ugly.
 
Looks kind of cool to me. Heck, arcade games need to change in order for them to stay alive. Games like Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, or Joust are amazing... however, they can't hold up today.

So I think that texting arcade machine is a good concept. Keeping the arcades a reality.

For me it was Mario Teaches Typing, I loved "playing" that game! My dad has always been an IT guy for his job so I was amazed at how fast he could blow through the levels.

Oh yeah, and damn the people who don't know how to properly use a cell phone and drive. I am a cyclist and am terrified at some of the people on the road that don't realize they're driving a few thousand pound monster.

Maybe the next game should be like Outrun...except you have to send texts to your other hot blond girlfriends who are on the other coast waiting for you. You have a steering wheel, gas pedals, shifter, and a cell phone coming out of the dash to play with. And of course, Miley Cyrus playing at MAX volume as you try to drive. That idea is patented so don't go trying to steal it and make millions!

#1. Kids wont be good at it if you have to type out "to" instead of "2" as shown in that pic.

#2. Hell, why not play it... it's cheaper than sending actual texts, if you don't have a messaging plan...
 
Now if the had it where you killed zombies by texting like The Typing of the Dead then it might not be half bad.
