Guitar Hero World Tour Mobile: Backstage Pass coming to Android, Blackberry
The Guitar Hero machine is set to spit out Guitar Hero World Tour Mobile: Backstage Pass for major carriers, including the Android Market and BlackBerry App World. The latest no-peripheral (unless you count the phone) entry in the music series was developed by Hands-On Mobile, which is no stranger to miniaturized music games. If you're wondering how much money there is to be made from a Guitar Hero title without any peripherals, just look to Guitar Hero III Mobile. Maybe you even bought it.
The Saboteur has much more color on iPhone
EA's The Saboteur must've gotten lost down an alley or something, because it's just emerged on the iPhone. Developed by Hands-On Mobile, the port takes a noticeable departure from the strong visual style its console-bound comrade went with, yet retains a lot of the narrative elements: you still play as Irishman Sean Devlin and he's still trying to get those darn Nazis out of France. You can check it out right now by hitting up the App store or, if you're checking out Joystiq on an iPhone, by tapping the little gray button you see below.

Guitar Hero III Mobile sells a million
Guitar Hero III Mobile has sold over a million units according to publisher Hands-On Mobile, which had previously announced that the game had also seen over 7.5 million song downloads in under six months. Mobile phones are one thing, but we still have to wonder whether we'll see people playing Guitar Hero DS on the train in the morning.As there's obviously a market for this title, we might as well mention that the June song pack for the game will feature "Stricken" by Disturbed, along with covers of "Talk Dirty to Me" by Poison and "Rock and Roll All Nite" by KISS. We want to try and understand why people download GH Mobile, but we just hope Phase is doing as well.
