Barry Bonds goes to bat for Mforma

Mobile game developer and publisher Mforma has added a true heavy hitter to its lineup. The company has inked a deal to create an "arcade-style" baseball game featuring the likeness of San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds.

Barry Bonds: Home Run History will let players control Bonds as he attempts to break the career home run record of Hank Aaron--that's 755 home runs. The game plays like a home run derby, as players control all of Bonds' at bats during a season and attempt to hit as many home runs as possible. Extra points are given for hitting random targets such as signs held up by fans in the outfield seats.

This is the first-ever mobile game licensing deal signed by Bonds. The game will be a part of Mforma's new mobile game sports product line.
