Who hasn’t heard of Chuck Norris deserves a trademark kick in the head. This bad boy is still alive and kicking, and this time he’ll be making an appearance on a new mobile video game that allows you to bring bone-crunching action with you wherever you go. Gameloft will be making available “Chuck Norris: Bring on the Pain” to the cell phone platform this August.

Chuck Norris: Bring on the Pain introduces mobile gamers to the hero that never needs an introduction, Chuck Norris. Play as either Ranger Chuck or Commando Chuck as he battles the combined forces of Fidel Castro and Kim Jong-il to defeat Communism here and abroad, with all of the subtlety of a Chuck Norris powerhouse takedown. But the enemy isn’t the only one feeling the wrath of Chuck as totally destructible environments allow Chuck to punch down houses with his fists or raze whole forests with his gun. Chuck Norris: Bring on the Pain will not only break up the bad guys, but will also break the mold of how mobile games are played thanks to a cool avatar feature which allows players to insert their own face (or that of their friend) into the game via their handset’s digital camera and then place it on enemy bodies for Chuck Norris to mash into dust. As well, an innovative Zoom Perspective allows Chuck to throw vanquished enemies right at the screen, just like in his movies.

No idea on how much this title will cost though, but to have the ability to defeat communists is definitely something I can identify with. Of course, it won’t have the depth of Square Enix’s RPGs and the replayability factor of Animal Crossing DS, but it sure as heck offers a welcome distraction from the everyday rigors of life.
