In what is surely the biggest WTF moment of the day, Paramount Digital Entertainment decided adapting Pet Sematary into an iPhone game was a smart move. I'm still trying to figure out whether to laugh or to cry; perhaps I should do both.
The game received a relatively intricate press release, which you aren't going to care about, except for one key line I'd like to highlight: "Players in Pet Sematary take on the role of a lone hero uninterested in becoming cat food." This just keeps getting better.
Constant tapping makes up most of the shoot-anything-that-looks-evil gameplay, which makes perfect sense for Pet Sematary's $0.99 asking price. The terrible thing is, if I owned an iPhone I would inevitably get this game out of curiosity alone.

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

Haha, that makes me want to try it even more.

From IMDB:
Why is cemetery misspelled?
Stephen King misspelled it for the title because, in the book, the kids that made the sign for the pet cemetery misspelled it. King explains in a new introduction to the book that the real pet cemetary near his rented Maine house had a sign reading "Pet Sematary." This mispelling (obviously made by children) found its way into the book and the title.

here's hoping the rumored Dark Tower game isn't some iphone crap
I'm happy for this, my iphone needs more Jud.
Well, most movies based after Steven King's books are completely awful. But with your punctuation skills, I'm fairly sure reading isn't your cup of tea either.
