Goldfrapp to get free iPhone pinball game
Let’s hope it's a Utopia
British electronica artist Goldfrapp is to get a free iPhone game based on its most recent album, Head First.
Bizarrely, it’s actually a pinball game. It does have some tangential ties to the band, admittedly, with artwork adorning the tables and the game plays different sound samples as the ball collides with objects, making (crappy) remixes.
The game’s also got global leaderboard for comparing scores. It’s created by Corporation Pop, and will be free when it hits iTunes later today.
It’s not the first time that a popular band has taken to the gaming space with a virtual pinball table. You can get a Slayer inspired machine on the App Store, and a KISS brand pinball table on PlayStation One.
