The Dexter video game for the iPhone has come to fruition, and I was definitely thinking: "Please, this is a game. An iPhone game. How creepy could it be?" Well, I got my answer today: Very Creepy.

Seriously, in the game you kill people in the fashion Dexter does (warning, the trailer does show it). I can appreciate the show because it works as a darkly comic drama, but as a video game? Well, I'll let you decide for yourselves. To see the trailer, just read more.

For the Morbid Gamer: The Dexter iPhone Game

Remember last year's announcement that the Robin Hood/serial killer show Dexter would be coming out as a video game? There were no console announcements then, but here comes a game for one of the most portable: The Dexter will have an iPhone game, being released this Summer to the App Store.

You'll use the accelerometer to control Dexter, assuming controlling means killing the bad guys. That I cannot wait to see. No pricing for the app yet, but I hope they make a killing on this (couldn't help it).

Dexter Coming to a Console Near You

Showtime's hit series Dexter, one of my pal Buzz's new faves, not only has been hanging out (with a little less blood) on CBS lately, but also has its own web series on YouTube dubbed Dexter: The Dark Defender. And soon you'll be seeing Dexter hitting the shelves, not only as each season's boxed set, but as a video game to boot.

Entering into a production agreement with Marc Ecko Entertainment, Showtime announced yesterday that it will be bringing the award winning (and totally awesome) series to your gaming console. To learn more about this video game, read more.

Marc Fernandez, VP of Marc Ecko Entertainment seems pretty stoked at the chance to translate the show into a game:

"Dexter is the extremely rare TV show with enough layers of action and tension to translate perfectly into a compelling video game. Our game designers, writers, and artists are going to give Dexter’s morally complex world the kind of interactivity that gamers will love."

Although no specifics were announced as to which consoles it will be available for, or even a target release date, I'm betting a game about a serial killer hunting other serial killers will be a hit, just like the show!
