Lego Batman For Your iPhone & iPod Touch

Play 16 games can be yours at a special 'holiday price.'

Lego Batman: Gotham City Games
Lego Batman: Gotham City Games
Buying an iPhone was one of the best purchases I've made this past year.  I love the apps available (I really like the free ones).  Lego Batman is a game that I've been wanting to play.  It's more of a curiousity thing along with the memories of Legos from my youth.  Warner Bros. Digital Distribution announced that "Lego Batman: Gotham City Games" is available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. 

The game has 16 mini games and is developed by TT Games, the same studio that developed the console title.  It is available from the iTunes App Store for $5.99 (which is a limited time holiday price).  You can get it here.  That's almost the same price of a comic book (these days).   Here's more information:
Players put their skills to the test through 16 classic, stylized mini games that lead them deep within Wayne Manor.  Along the way, players pilot the LEGO Batwing and solve some of The Riddler’s most mind bending puzzles.  Each challenge is linked together by a brand new story, shown through stunning, hand rendered cut scenes, backed by a full orchestral soundtrack.

Some of the challenges include:
Batarang Skill Shots: Players master the Batarang and take out as many villains as possible.
Batwing Pursuit:  In this third person vertical shooter mini-game, players pursue the Scarecrow’s bi-plane using the Batwing.
Bane Boxing: Bane loves training hard and likes nothing better than a good workout on his beloved body.  In this game players memorize a sequence of attacks to the bag and replicate them through tapping their finger on each area of the bag at the right time.
The Riddler’s Maze Game: In this game players select where The Riddler will end up.  A number of exits are presented and only one is correct.  Players then touch the one they think is correct to see if they can escape!

Once players master the game to become a True Hero or True Villain, they unlock bonus content including never before seen artwork, trailers and wallpapers.  The wallpapers can then be saved into the player’s iPhone or iPod Touch picture library and used to identify callers or to spruce up the background of their phone. 
Seems worth checking out.
