Marc Ecko Entertainment today announced that DEXTER The Game, the long awaited app for iPhone and iPod Touch, is out now on the App Store. The game, based on Season One of the Emmy and Golden Globe winning SHOWTIME television series DEXTER, is available for $5.99.

Produced by Marc Ecko Entertainment and developed by Icarus Studios in conjunction with Showtime Networks, DEXTER The Game is one of the most ambitious titles yet for Apple’s platforms. You play as Dexter Morgan, a serial killer who must maintain his average-guy façade. During the day he is a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department, but at night he unleashes his own brand of justice on criminals who deserve to die. In fully realized 3D environments, you will control Dexter, analyzing crime scenes, uncovering evidence and using stealth tactics to stalk your prey. The outcome of every choice and action revolves around the Code of Harry: only kill the guilty, maintain the “mask”, and above all, don’t get caught!

“We’ve taken great care with DEXTER The Game to create a premium title that both fans of the show and gamers will love,” said Marc Fernandez, Vice President of Marc Ecko Entertainment.

DEXTER The Game has some of the most impressive graphics seen on the iPhone / iPod Touch. It has been developed to take advantage of signature features such as the touch screen, accelerometer and recent iPhone 3.0 additions. Play Dexter the way you want – choose from multiple control modes: tilt to move, dual “thumbsticks”, single “thumbstick”, and multi-touch. The game is voiced by the star of the show himself, Michael C. Hall and has an original storyline by award winning Dexter script writer Tim Schlattmann.

"We are thrilled to give iPhone and iPod Touch owners a way to experience DEXTER in a fresh, engaging way," said Len Fogge, Executive Vice President, Creative, Marketing, Research and Digital Media at Showtime Networks. “The minute you begin controlling him and hearing his innermost thoughts, you are completely engrossed.”

As an added bonus, every purchase of the game includes a chance to win a walk-on role in season five of the DEXTER TV show, lunch with one of the show's writers, or one of many instant prizes including DVDs and t-shirts.
