BioShock is Coming to the iPhone
Are you guys familiar with BioShock? It was an amazing first person shooter that released for the Xbox 360 and PC. As one of the best games of 2007, it created a beautiful story through deep emotional connection and stunning visuals. And guess what. It’s coming to the iPhone.
Yes, that’s not a typo. It hasn’t even been ported to a portable gaming machine yet but it is coming to the iPhone. Who knows how well it can translate to a mobile device, but this shows how much faith developers have in the iPhone. Note: A 2D version is also going to be released for mobile devices that can’t handle the full 3D Game. I’m looking at you Blackberry. =)
I couldn’t find a video for you guys but folks are saying that it looks spectacular. No one has actually given gameplay a twirl yet so the controls can’t be spoken for, but the video shown to a few insiders was rendered on the iPhone itself.
So who’s NOT excited about gaming on the iPhone?

Something to wear the battery out even faster? No thanks.

Bring on the games! If anyone knows where to find the video demo of BioShock, please post the URL.
It’d be even sweeter if they included the use of the Accelerometer in game play.

I don’t know about this BioShock business, but I am definitely excited about gaming coming to the iPhone. I am not into these new games … I am more old school. I remember seeing that Galaga and PacMan were coming to iPhone 2.0. I don’t know about PacMan (I never was a fan of that one), but I cannot wait for Galaga. That was one of my all time favorites. I would also like to see some of the classic ’80’s games from the height of the arcade era return such as Tron, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Defender, etc. June 9 cannot come quick enough!!!

BioShock is one the greatest ever console games that makes 95% of other titles look what they are, unadventurous, washed out, warmed up and lazy/easy rehashes of stuff that first came out 10 years ago. Can’t for the life of me though see how they could port it and make it play the same way it does on the 360 as there is a heck of a lot of button action needed.

The use of the Accelerometer would be severly sweet for the Telekenesis power you acquire!
