Showtime’s serial-killer drama “Dexter” is being made into a video game that you can play on your iPhone. You know, if you’re one of those assholes with an iPhone. IGN describes the gameplay:
First, you must set up the revenge room so the teacher, Donovan, is faced with his crimes. To do this, you must dig up the bodies of the slain. (Exhuming dead kids? Hello, 17+ rating on iTunes.) After acquiring a shovel, you locate disturbed earth in a seedy park… You must drag three bodies out of the ground to set up the revenge room, but if you locate the fourth body, you score a 100-percent rating on evidence…
Plus you get the satisfaction of exhuming a fourth child’s body from a seedy park — which is its own reward, really.
Once… Donovan admits he is a sick man, you end his life. And at this point, your iPhone becomes a scalpel. You don’t actually see Dexter carve Donovan. Instead, you do it yourself, swiping your iPhone back and forth, using the accelerometer to wield this virtual blade. Out of the speakers, you hear every cut and tear, as well as Donovan’s screams. It is… creepy.
The downside? All that vigorous swiping and slashing makes you look less cool, and that totally ruins the iPhone experience.
