OK ladies and gents; are you ready to be blown away with Rocket Riot™, on the spanking new Windows Phone 7? On the Thursday, October 21st, the new and improved mobile version of the awesome action-packed side-view shooter Rocket Riot, is available on Zune.

In this highly stylized eight-bit era style game, you have to blast your way through destructible environments, battle against the strangest (and coolest!) enemies, uncover tons of special power-ups  and use the regenerating environment to your own advantage.

What else is new? Besides the 48 single-player missions with progressively increasing difficulty, there is a new and unique Challenge Mode. In this mode you invite friends to take on specific challenges in order to get the highest score. And it’s all about the highscore right?

As you might know, the Windows Phone 7 (WP7) features a multi touch display, which utilizes the new control schemes of Rocket Riot perfectly. You can even use the Windows Phone 7’s tilt sensor for motion control! How cool is that?

And we’re not the only one that is excited about this new iteration of Rocket Riot. Our fellow Dutchman, Matthijs Hoekstra from Microsoft Benelux, made a nice blogpost about it. And there is even more excitement to share with you guys…

Prior to the release of Rocket Riot, we did some interviews with Mobile Tech World and Pocket Gamer. Make sure you don’t miss out, as they are an interesting read if we may say so.

Last but not least: if you want to show your appreciation for Rocket Rocket, please do on the 2010 Mashable Awards.

Here is a special tribute video to the coolest thing we saw at the Free Gaming festival: the two Stormtroopers we found playing Rocket Riot!

We asked if they were training for a special mission but they wouldn’t comment on that. All we know is Rocket Riot is being played on the Death Star right now! The rebels better watch out
