THQ unleashes Star Wars iPhone games
Yet one Jedi was feared above all others, and that Jedi ... was Alex. That's right! THQ's finally giving the beloved sci-fi franchise the treatment it deserves on iPhone with Star Wars: Lightsaber Duel (like the existing lightsaber app, but for two phones), Star Wars: Cantina (like Diner Dash but ... spacier) and Star Wars: Yoda Sound Board (like something that you'd ever want to spend money on, but the opposite). ... What, are these not the apps you're looking for? ... Fine, yes, that was an intentionally misleading headline. We had to suffer a pretty brutal comedown when we read the press release, so we thought it only fair that you should too. Sorry.
Star Wars Cantina: your own wretched hive of scum and villainy, in your iPhone
THQ's new Star Wars iPhone game somehow manages to involve neither Death Star runs nor lightsaber battles, opting instead for the challenge of serving drinks to the intergalactic jerks in the iconic Mos Eisley Cantina. In the Diner Dash-like Star Wars Cantina, you must serve the correct drink to the impatient aliens in the cantina in pursuit of a daily quota. If you ever wondered whether the employees at the bar got tired of listening to Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes all day, well, now you'll know. The whole thing is presented in a sort of painted look that we find impressive. It'll be in the App Store soon. As for iPhone games that do involve lightsaber battles, THQ also has a Bluetooth-enabled lightsaber duel game on the way! [Via Kotaku]
