‘The Martian’ becomes an Apple Watch game

The Martian, Ridley Scott’s new sci-fi film, gets a new game on iOS with an Apple Watch tie-in as the movie premieres around the world. Little Labs developed the game with the help of the author of the original book the movie was based on. It’s a text-based strategy game that prompts its players to make decisions that can help astronaut Mark Watney solve problems while he’s stuck on Mars.

The game costs $3.49 and is available as a universal download for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. It won’t have any in-app purchases or downloads following the initial purchase.

Matt Damon tries to survive on Mars in the new 'The Martian' trailer

 

What would a scientist do if he got stuck on Mars and, of course, need to survive? He'll science the shit out of the place. Or at least that's what Matt Damon's character Mark Watney is doing in the new film The Martian. A new trailer for the movie has just been upped and it shows Watney trying to find a way to survive on the Red Planet after getting stuck there. A team of scientists back on Earth are trying to bring him back home.  

Damon is joined by the likes of Jessica Chastain, Sean Bean, Kristen Wiig, Chiwetel Eijofor, Kate Mara, and Donald Glover in what looks to be a pretty interesting film.
