Version: 10 Finger BreakOut - Free Typing Game 6.2
Pros: Finally- a typing game that is actually a video game and not a dressed up lesson. Typing invaders by the same company is also pretty good.

Version: 10 Finger BreakOut - Free Typing Game 6.2
"Mismatched metaphor and controls"
Pros: It's a nice presentation, with clear user interface and intuitive controls. The game breakout is playable.
Cons: Out of the huge cultural collection of classic arcade games to emulate, breakout is not a very good fit for practicing typing. The premise, being that letters change randomly to control the paddle is poorly mapped to the game. It is arbitrary and also means one must constantly stare at the paddle. Typing arbitrary keys while looking at the paddle is awkward from a gameplay stance, and (as far as I can reason) only useful to teach the basic letters; not increase typing speeds once one has memorized their positions at some casual rate (like 10 wpm).
