Another biggie mobile release from Glu (following on from Metal Gear Acid 2) is Watchmen. For those of you that don’t know about the upcoming film, I will say no more than Google it and watch the trailer – awesome isn’t even the word…
And now incoming (thanks to Holly again!) is the accompanying Mobile game – which is looking ever so schweeet:
Here’s the lo-lo-lo-down on what’s what in the game:
Become a masked vigilante to fight crime in WATCHMEN: The Mobile Game. Play as the stealthy Nite Owl, battling enemies in the gritty streets of New York City, or as brawling anti-hero The Comedian in the sweltering jungles of Vietnam. Use their unique arsenal of weapons and vigilante attacks and follow an original storyline straight from Rorschach’s journal! The clock is ticking and only the Watchmen can save us. But who is watching the Watchmen?
- Beat ‘Em Up Action – Play as the Comedian and Nite Owl, each with a unique repertoire of attacks, weapons and special moves.
- Gameplay Variety –Fight your way through 17 levels, including sky missions in Nite Owl’s high-tech aircraft
- Original Storyline – All new Watchmen experience can be appreciated by newcomers and diehard fans of the graphic novel
- Classic Characters – Cameos from classic heroes and villains from the Watchmen universe, including Rorschach, Dr. Manhattan and more!
- Multiple Environments – Non-stop action in Vietnam and the streets and skies over NYC
This is lining up to be a really good game, due Q109 as part of Glu Mobile’s releases this year – , so look out for it on your Operator Portal or independent online retailer! You can also check out Glu Mobile’s website here.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
