Pretty odd, but considering the combination of Mark Ecko Entertainment, the iPhone and Showtime's serial killer drama Dexter, we can't say we're surprised. A little more surprising is the combination of gameplay genres.

According to the official update on the game, Dexter will feature "puzzle solving, stealth tactics, mini-games, and 'slashing' with the iPhone itself" thanks to the device's accelerometer. The game will feature a script by writer Timothy Schlattmann and voice over work by Michael C. Hall.

It's described as a "premium" game, so expect to pay a premium when it hits the iTunes App Store this Summer.
