Now, we’re not sure it’s going to be as fascinating as the comic series or even the movie, as far as I can tell from the promotional clips, but putting any MMO game on the iPhone, especially with the Watchmen tag on it, is already a winner to me. Watchmen: Justce is Coming should be available at the iTunes App Store this month.

From their site:

WATCHMEN: Justice is Coming is an online role playing game developed exclusively for the iPhone and iPod touch. The game is inspired by the highly anticipated WATCHMEN film released by Warner Bros. Pictures on March 6th 2009.
