Trent Reznor Taps His Way Into Your iPhones

Trent Reznor will soon offer up a Nine Inch Nails edition of the iPhone/iPod Touch rhythm game Tap Tap Revenge. His version will not be free, though $4.99 is not exactly a king’s ransom for the pleasure of tapping along to the 7/8 beat on “March of the Pigs”… oh, wait! The tracks will only come from Nine Inch Nails’ last two records. The game will also feature a NiN theme, which means that we can expect lots of primary colors, happy clouds, and chirping bug-eyed animals. Reznor really is to be commended to be one of the more “with it” artists out there from a business perspective. The guy sees an opportunity to make money and delight his fairly obsessive fans, and he goes for it. Dude needs to have a talk with Angus Young. [Macworld]

    “oh, wait! The tracks will only come from Nine Inch Nails’ last two records.”

    Interscope or whomever owns the older recordings, not Trent,so good luck getting those at a rate a small game developer can handle…
