Hasta La Gadget!

The iPhone has set it sights on becoming a decent little gaming platform, among everything else, and one of the most exciting games en route is Hero Of Sparta which launches next week.

Above is the very slick official trailer, which makes your mouth water, even though it’s pre-rendered video and not gameplay, but the screenshots on the next page make it look like the iPhone is going to get it’s own God Of War.

Like God of War it’s a 3rd person game. This time your hero wakes up on a beach with no memory, a bad headache and a desire to let his shield and sword do the talking with a mass of mythological creatures. There is full 3D movement and combat – no side-scrolling here.

A virtual analogue stick lives at the bottom left of the screen and there are 2 buttons on the bottom right for attacking and defending.
