    THQ has launched (roughly) the millionth game to simulate the iconic attack on the Death Star from Star Wars -- but on iPhone this time! In Star Wars: Trench Run, available today for $4.99, you use tilt controls to steer your X-Wing ship, and touch controls to take down the TIE Fighters that attempt to impede your path to the Death Star's thermal exhaust port. The game features both arcade and story modes, multiple camera angles, leaderboards, and, of course, special Force powers including the ability to slow down time. It's just not a Star Wars flying game without a scratchy Obi-Wan voice sample telling you to use the Force. Star Wars: Trench Run ($4.99): %Gallery-78536%

    Because blowing up the Death Star never gets old, THQ is recreating the climactic space battle from the conclusion of the first Star Wars film in an all-new game for the iPhone. Star Wars: Trench Run will appear in the App store soon, IGN reports, and will feature a tilt-based control scheme. There's no word on a price yet, but given the platform, we're willing to bet even the scruffiest Nerf herder will be able to afford it.Jedi mind click your mouse past the break for a trailer.
