The most RAWK mobile game ever!

You smell that? Do you smell that? Snakebite, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of Snakebite in the morning.

Yes, if like me you mis-spent your youth pinging around the dancefloors of dingy nightspots to the sound of Rage Against The Machine, you'll be equally excited about Digital Chocolate's new game.

Rock City Empire is its name, and it puts you in charge of some of the world's hottest rock clubs. You get to hire staff, book bands, and pimp up the venue with spark machines, flamethrowers, and jumbo video screens. Not that there were any of those at the Norwich Waterfront when I was a teenager.

Your clubs will play host to punks, rockabillies, metallers and 'hard rockers', and there's a guitar-based mini-game included to help you drive the punters wild with your hot licks. Or something.

The game is an all-new revamped version of DChoc's Night Club Empire, and is set to rock harder than the combined might of Iron Maiden's 'Eddie' mascot, Ozzy Osbourne on a night out, and that bloke from WASP's flaming codpiece (kids, ask your strange uncle).

The game's out next month, and even has its own YouTube trailer (click below). My favourite bit is around 52 seconds in, where the narrator forgets he's s'posed to be doing a rawk voice...
