'Mortal Instruments' Inspired Game by PlayFirst

On top of a Mortal Instruments kit, journal, quote book, and clothing line, according to Venture Beat, PlayFirst will be creating a Mortal Instruments: City of Bones game.

Finally, DeMiroz teased a new title that ties into the upcoming Sony Motion Pictures film Mortal Instruments. That Twilight-like film, due out in August, has a slightly different audience than PlayFirst is accustomed to, so the developer plans to try a new genre for its adaptation.

PlayFirst is known for it's Dash games (i.e. Dinner Dash, Hotel Dash, Cooking Dash, etc). Most of their games are for either apple products or the kindle.
