This really is one of those games you should feel guilty for not playing.
Not only does the cyberpunk-themed point-and-click adventure game Beneath A Steel Sky take place in a dystopian Australia like one of my favorite movies ever, The Road Warrior, it's also a damned fine game to boot.
Although BASS is available for free on PC, the upcoming iPhone version that we've mentioned before will not be. With new artwork from Dave Gibbons, a touch-inspired interface, a new hint system (so long, GameFAQs!), and digitally remastered art and sound, it'll probably be worth the $4.99 asking price.
Plus, it's portable. It's so weird to me that so many great adventure games are seeing new life on the iPhone, but hey, that's not a complaint.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

@solid squirrel: Hell yeah
Even Monkey Island plays kinda badly on the iPhone! D:
PS: If you know your iPhone games, you know this game will drop to half price or 99c at some moment in the future... every other game has!
Now I wish I had an Iphone.

@acidspunk - Buying this means that more point and click games may be ported, remade, re-released in the future, on whatever platform. Just because you have access to scummvm and a torrent site does not mean you shouldn't buy Monkey Island SE. I wanna play Monkey Island 2 SE dammit! And Day of the Tentacle SE, Full Throttle SE, Sam and Max Hit the Road SE....
This will be a day 1 purchase for me..
