"The Roadie" Heavy Metal-Based iPhone Game Announced

The Roadie is the "heaviest, headbanging-est rhythm game" to ever attack the iPhone and iPod Touch.

In this game, you are The Roadie -- a down-and-out rocker who becomes the world's last hope against swarms of robot invaders. Strap on your guitar, and shred your way through action-packed levels loaded with slabs of pure, unadulterated METAL.

The Roadie is more than your average rhythm game. It's a combination of rhythm and side-scrolling action, where each successful note you play leads to yet another smoking enemy robot on the pile. Don't stay in time, and your back will be against the wall -- the spiked, electrified wall that's chasing you.

The Roadie features:

• Fast-paced action based on heavy metal music.


• An all-original metal soundtrack that's sure to get your head (and fingers) banging.


• Guide The Roadie through a bizarre world with multiple stages of play.


• Variable difficulty lets you rock no matter what your skill level is.


• Unlockable achievements, rankings, and more!

More information on The Roadie is coming soon. In the meantime, check out the band's MySpace page to get a sneak preview of the game's soundtrack.
