Oh Yeah, Silent Hill And DDR Are On The iPhone Now

Despite both titles having been available for a couple of weeks with dozens of customer reviews each, Konami today announces the launch of Silent Hill: The Escape and DanceDanceRevolution S Lite for the iPhone. It seems to be a growing trend that iPhone game announcements trail behind the actual release of said games by a few weeks. Take Silent Hill: The Escape and DDE S Lite, for instance. Both have been out there for weeks, yet Konami is just now getting around to telling everybody.

Silent Hill: The Escape is a $7.99 first-person title that has you running through corridors with a gun and a dying flashlight. The general gist of the reviews I have seen indicate that it’s rather short. DDR S Lite is a free version of DDR for the iPhone and iPod touch, which uses your fingers instead of feet. Reviews for that one lean towards “more please”, so it might be worth giving it a look. Thanks for the late heads-up, Konami!
