Beyonce and chums are heading for your phone!

Destiny's Child get their own mobile game

Who said the Writing's On The Wall for the mobile games industry? I'd argue it's Jumpin' Jumpin'. One particular new game has really made me Lose My Breath, and I reckon it's so Bootylicious that you'll fall Crazy In Love with it too.

Oh, hang on, that last one's a solo Beyonce song. That doesn't work. Anyway, as if you hadn't guessed from the headline, Destiny's Child have signed up for their own branded mobile game, called Destiny's Child Groove.

It's being made by Square Enix's US mobile division, but unsurprisingly is about as far from Final Fantasy as you can get. It's a 'competitive dance game' featuring four of the group's tunes: Survivor, Bug A Boo, Say My Name and Lose My Breath.

You'll have to dance-battle against various mobile-controlled characters, getting your button-presses in rhythm to the music, before letting Jay-Z come on and do a rubbish rap at the end. Okay, not that last bit, but the rest is true.

Destiny's Child Groove is due out this month in the US, although there's no news on how soon it'll come to Europe.
