With <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/appstore.html">the App Store open for business</a>, games are finally headed to Apple's iPhone, and the unit's multitouch interface, accelerometer, and built-in mic and speaker make it perfect for gaming. <a href="http://us.thqwireless.com/">THQ Wireless</a> is one of the many companies getting ready to try and cash in on the first generation of the App Store -- after making games for a lot of other mobile devices, Director of Global Production Brad Pitser is excited about finally releasing software for the iPhone.<br />
<br />
Joystiq got to play two different games in THQ's demo at E3. <span style="font-style: italic;">De Blob</span> is a handheld adaptation of the Wii game, and uses the accelerometer in the iPhone and iPod touch to do a little light platform puzzling. And <span style="font-style: italic;">Force Unleashed</span> attempts to recreate <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/15/joystiq-hands-on-star-wars-the-force-unleashed-duel-mode-wii/">the upcoming Star Wars action title</a>, by using a touchscreen gesture system to try and make you feel like a Jedi. impressions of both are after the break.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/17/joystiq-e3-hands-on-de-blob-and-force-unleashed-for-iphone/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Joystiq E3 hands-on: De Blob and Force Unleashed for iPhone</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/17/joystiq-e3-hands-on-de-blob-and-force-unleashed-for-iphone/">Joystiq E3 hands-on: De Blob and Force Unleashed for iPhone</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:00:00 EST.
