Okay, in most cases, a band making a game sounds like a terrible idea, but so did that reheated pizza slice from a week ago (and you know it was good).
Linkin Park have teamed up with mobile game developer Artificial Life to create Linkin Park 8-Bit Rebellion for the iPod Touch or Phone, and, surprisingly, it looks pretty good!
The title isn’t what you’d expect (a rhythm-style music game), but an action adventure involving flamethrowers, lasers and whatnot.
In an 8-bit land, the evil corporation called PixxelKorp has taken Linkin Park’s music, and it’s up to you to get it back. With 8-bit and original versions of the songs, expect to blast your way with solid tunes playing. When you beat the game, you even get a previously unreleased track entitled “Blackbird” - which is a wicked prize for any hardcore Linkin Park fans.
There’s also a lot of customization available including: what your character as well as your crib looks like.
As for the actual gameplay, well, take a look for yourself:
