'Bioshock' Going Mobile

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Tuesday, February 12, 2008 10:54 AM

When we devoted a week of our life to undersea metropolis of Rapture, we did not once think, "I wish I could play this on my mobile phone!" but apparently, some did.

In a move that we pray is not a watering-down (get it?) of one of our favorite videogame brands, Bioshock is going to mobile phones. mobile fun maker IG Games secured the worldwide mobile rights to the title.

Sean Malatesta, CEO of IG Fun said, "We're trying to do great things and BioShock on mobile promises to offer a whole new gaming experience and unmatched excitement amongst mobile gamers the world over. BioShock is a special game in its genre; it brings an element of conflicting morals which has an impact on the storyline, and, among other things, on the difficulty of the game itself."

So, let us know, readers: Are you excited for this, like you just found some ADAM, or are you dreading it like you dread that splicer with the machine gun?

I know this will suck horribly but I can't wait to see it. It's like watching a movie with 3d glasses on a cell phone that's in back and white yet somehow works.

I bet it'll be a puzzler based on the amazingly innovative hacking of vending machines. Now with cnady bars.

this has bad written all over it.. Just as all titles shouldn't be multipayer (thank you Bioshock) all successful games shouldn't be ported for mobile.. Or why not original properties??

Bioshock is one of the best games in my 360, but in my phone? I don't think so.

Who dreads a splicer with a machine gun? I just Incinerate! them and laugh.

On another note, I don't expect this to be good.

We all know when you try to make a mobile game it sucks. It's not going to be good and the graphics will be watered down. I expect a side scroller to tell you the truth with mini puzzles. It's going to be lame.

actually theres a rumor that bioshock will come to ps3 as well since its doing very well.

@bryansurvive

If Bioshock is doing so well, why would they port it to GS3? Besides, Gaystation 3 is not worthy enough for the masterpiece that is Bioshock.

@GreenQuadrant

... Yet the masterpiece that bioshock is, is going mobile? Did i miss something, or do cell phone games usually suck.

And is it just me, or are you an achievement whore xbot who cant afford a ps3?
