Weezer, Daft Punk come to new Tap Tap games
Several major musical acts have found their way into new App Store games based on the Guitar Hero-like Tap Tap Revenge, developer Tapulous has announced. The first, Christmas With Weezer, includes six original Christmas songs by the rock band, as well as two singles off the most recent studio album. The second game, Tap Tap Dance, features a host of electronic dance acts such as Moby, Daft Punk and the Chemical Brothers, with artwork tailored to each group.
The games build on a concept pioneered by the industrial group Nine Inch Nails, which collaborated with Tapulous to produce the first artist-exclusive version of Tap Tap; this may have been inspired, however, by the announcement of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith for consoles. Both Christmas With Weezer and Tap Tap Dance should be available through iTunes sometime today, at a cost of $4.99 each.
