Nintendo DS game Beat City translated into Facebook app

While the video game world can't decide what to make of Facebook -- must less gaming on Facebook -- we have to give game makers THQ a nod for trying to use the social networking service to promote upcoming game, Beat City.

This music game for the Nintendo DS is somewhat reminiscent of Rhythm Heaven, where players have to partake in some quirky activity in time to the music to earn points. The Beat City Facebook app offers just a taste of what this game will be like -- with a quick tutorial and a single level of the game.
