Christmas is in danger this year and it is up for iPhone users to save in “Drunken Santa Klaus” which is a game that was developed by ROOT9 Medialab. You will need to keep the motion sensor balanced on the iPhone to keep Santa Klaus from tipping. You can not allow for him to fall into the snow because he will take a nap and there is absolutely no time for that. It will be even harder for Santa to stay on time because there are Christmas sacks along the way. For each sack that he jumps over successfully and gracefully, Santa will receive performance points. For each Candy Stick that he eats, he will become a little bit more sober. He will become smashed completely from wine bottles which will be sure to cause a horrific Christmas Eve. The difficulty level that you set the game on will determine how drunk Santa Klaus will start off. Christmas morning is in huge danger and you are the only person who can save it.

LTNChica — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:24:24 +0000

Beat it! is a game that will soon be coming out for the iPhone and iPod touch. Like many people may think, it is not a rhythm game. It is actually a music game. You do not just need to hit the notes along with the beat in this game, you must deconstruct a music clip and then do your best to recreate it. According to reviews, this game is probably going to do very well.

This is what you will do in the game: First, there is a short clip played which you can listen to a couple times in order to get the notes down. After that, you tap squares on a grid in order to create a line of music which sounds like the clip you just heard. You can turn squares on or off by just tapping them. As you create the clip, a line will move over the grid and play your current selection. If you have placed a note in the right place of a measure then the square will sparkle to notify you it is correct. There are five different worlds that you must beat and each world gets harder and harder as you go. New instruments will get added represented by a new line added onto the grid.

Starting at the price of $2.99, this game will be released at the end of October.
