Holy smokes! Mobile Guitar Hero

Now you don't need a console -- or a mullet -- to rock out like Axel Steel

At last, there may be a mobile phone game worth paying for.

Now, before you go berserk with gamer lust, the super-awesome mobile version of Guitar Hero is currently only in the US and even there it's only available for download with the mobile carrier Verizon.

The mobile version will include two playable characters -- the aptly named Axel Steel and Judy Nails -- and 15 playable songs. Gamers interested in more music can subscribe to receive three extra songs every month.

Before you ask; no, there's no mini Les Paul guitar to plug into your mobile. The five fret buttons from the guitar controller have been trimmed to three buttons and can be mapped to any row on your mobile keypad you find most comfortable.

With no Australian release date on the horizon there's probably no point teasing you further with details about how awesome the game looks or how much fun it is to play. Instead, allow us to multiply the torture by a thousand with a sneak preview video of the game posted on our sister site CNET.com in the States.

      BlackBerry Storm 9500

      A BlackBerry without a keyboard may seem like a car without wheels, but if RIM has given us a touchscreen similar to the stunning display we saw on the Bold, then the Storm could be this year's must-have touch-sensitive smartphone.

    • Nokia N96

      Nokia N96

      It's a little slimmer and it has loads of storage, but Nokia's latest flagship model has little to justify its top-shelf price tag.

      Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

      It's been a long time coming but finally Nokia has a sexy touchscreen phone. Although, does it have what it takes to make us look away from the ever-alluring iPhone?

    • HTC Touch Pro

      HTC Touch Pro

      The Touch Pro is a step in the right direction for HTC. It's still a bit sluggish but overall it performs better than the Diamond, plus the keyboard is a winning touch.

      Parrot MINIKIT Slim

      The Parrot Minikit Slim makes it very easy to make and receive calls without taking your eyes off the road to look at your phone, but a poorly executed visor clip makes this otherwise excellent speakerphone feel cheaper than it is.
