    Default Bioshock Coming To The iPhone

    http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhon...ews.asp?c=7016

    "Can a rich super-atmospheric first-person shooter like BioShock really work well on a mobile phone?

    IG Fun has taken on the challenge, as we've previously reported. But today I bumped into the company's CEO Sean Malatesta at the BREW 2008 show.

    He had some footage running on a BREW handset of that version of the game, but also revealed that IG Fun wants to bring the game to iPhone too, as well as Symbian."

    well, everyone wanted to know whether take-two would be careful with this franchise or run it into the ground.

    guess we have our answer.

    You know what I wish these guys would do? I wish some of these game developers would release little mini-games for portable devices that could hook-in to their larger games on the PC - the way you had that Chocobo World game that linked with the main Final Fantasy VIII game (at least on the PC version).

    That little mini-game Chocobo World thing was pretty cool, if I do say so myself.

    unfortunatly i think the iphones cool touch screen interface doesnt lend itself to gaming very well. 2d or 3d i just dont see this port doing justice to the pretty excellent pc game. Hopefully they prove me wrong.
    For lucky best wash, use Mr. Sparkle.

    Anything but Overworld Zero...which was actually pretty cool. "Real-time arcade action?" Forget it...
