Giant Bomb makes an app (and, more importantly, a commercial)

Unless you’re a fan of their website, you probably don’t need the Giant Bomb iPhone app. It’s a pretty limited use piece of software. While it does offer easy access to everything on their site, including videos, reviews, previews, and so on, it actually costs $1.99, and we can’t really justify a purchase like that. Isn’t browsing sites what Safari is for?

But we are thankful that they made the app, because, at the very least, it encouraged them to make the commercial above. It features a few spot-on parodies (the first one overstays its welcome, but stick with it), and even has some nice iPhone-related humor. I don’t know about you folks, but I winced when Apple’s device went in the drink during the ShamWow parody. The app itself might not be worth the price, but the commercial is definitely worth every penny.
