Today Konami has announced that it’ll be putting a new musical iPhone/iPod game, Rhyme Player, on the Apple App Store.
Branded as an interactive lyrical experience, the game tapping and swiping the screen to scrolling lyrics. Konami says it “bridges lyrics and beats.” A game is only as good as its songs, though. Rhyme Player comes bundled with five pop hits — “Poison” from Bell Biv DeVoe; “First Time” by Lifehouse; “ABC” by The Jackson 5; “Show Me” from The Cover Girls; and “Just Dance” by Lady Gaga.
Rhyme Player is available for $1.99 on the App Store, but why not try to win it? Because we’re such big fans of Lady Gaga at Destructoid (okay, maybe it’s just me), here’s how you can win a download code: simply post in the comments your favorite (or most outrageous) image of Lady Gaga making a fashion statement.
Tomorrow at 9am Eastern, I’ll pick five of my favorite outfits/images, and send out the codes via Destructoid’s private message service. Good luck!
[Update: Winners have been chosen and directly messaged. Congrats, and remember — never trust a big butt and a smile.]
