Though neither of them rhyme with "Petal Near Squalid", two of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/17/four-konami-games-coming-to-iphone-including-metal-gear-silent/">the four portable games Konami announced</a> have arrived for your stroking and poking pleasure on the iPhone and iPod Touch this morning. The first, <em>Silent Hill: The Escape</em>, will run you $7.99 and allow you to "escape the suspense with full use of the touch panel and confront evil with the accelerometer." Watch your back, evil!<br /><br />Also arriving in the iTunes Store is <em>DanceDanceRevolution S Lite</em>, an early version of the game - the "full version" is "currently in the works." It's being distributed for free, which seems like a bargain until you factor in the price of replacing your iPhone after you jump all over it.<br /><br /><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=300626088&amp;mt=8">Download</a> - <em>Silent Hill: The Escape</em> [iTunes link]<br /><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=300655935&amp;mt=8">Download</a> - <em>DanceDanceRevolution S Lite</em> [iTunes Link]<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/2009/01/22/silent-hill-and-dancedancerevolution-now-on-iphone/">Silent Hill and DanceDanceRevolution now on iPhone</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 22 Jan 2009 11:29:00 EST.

And <em>Dance Dance Revolution</em>, if you can believe it. Konami has announced the impending arrival of <a href="http://www.touch.konami.net/jp/pc/game.html">four downloadable iPhone games</a>, with all but one scheduled to arrive "from late December." The genres covered are "Music," "Action," "3D Shooting" and the slightly provocative "Touch Shooting." As for the corresponding titles:<br />
<ul>
    <li><a href="http://www.konami.jp/products/touch_ddrs/index.html"><strong>Dance Dance Revolution S Lite</strong></a>, "a music game where you tap the arrow icons that appear at the bottom of the screen in time with music."</li>
    <li><a href="http://www.konami.jp/products/touch_sh/index.html"><strong>Silent Hill: The Escape</strong></a>, "a first-person 3D shooting game that lets players utilize the control features only found on the iPhone and iPod touch ..."</li>
    <li><a href="http://www.konami.jp/products/touch_frogger/index.html"><strong>Frogger</strong></a>, "a simple game" which probably doesn't require any further explanation.</li>
    <li><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/17/rumor-a-next-metal-gear-is-for-iphone/"><strong>Metal Gear Solid Touch</strong></a>, "an original game that brings to life the world and characters" of MGS4. Eight "touch shooting" levels will be available in the initial release, with more to follow.<br /></li>
</ul>
<em>MGST</em> is currently slated for a Spring 2009 release. All the games are coming to North America, Japan and Europe, with the exception of <em>Dance Dance Revolution</em>, which is apparently too hip for the electronic rectangles in Europe.<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/2008/12/17/four-konami-games-coming-to-iphone-including-metal-gear-silent/">Four Konami games coming to iPhone, including Metal Gear, Silent Hill</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 17 Dec 2008 04:15:00 EST.
