Don’t you just love the way that the internet provides a medium for stuff to be given away? And with iPhones being so widely used, its only natural that advertisers are going to take advantage of that “captive audience” if at all possible.
Which explains the latest free give away – a game for our iPhones. This free iPhone game is intended to promote the upcoming movie “Bolt” which is being released in late November (and the promo works – we didn’t know about it till we found the game!) Now don’t dismiss this as just a kids game!
Its actually good fun. And did we mention its free? The game is based around ‘Rhino’ (shown above) – one of the cute heroes in the upcoming movie Bolt . Disney call the game Rhino’s Rollerball but its also being called RhinoBall.
