Bioshock Coming to Apple iPhone

by Jay G on March 24, 2009

bioshock_iphoneGames for the iPhone are just getting better and better!

While I’m still getting over the release of Metal Gear Solid Touch there is news that Bioshock might be appearing on the Appley hand-held!

Yup, you heard me Gadgety faithful!

Bioshock for iPhone.

It has dropped the jaws of PC, Xbox and PS3 players but now IG Fun appears to be in the driving seat for the mobile version of Bioshock, including a 2D version – in that case the super-duper iPhone should handle it and then some ;)

Ok, so maybe I’m getting carried away here.

There’s nothing really official at the mo.

Although IG Fun CEO, Sean Malatesta, did let slip a huge hint to a GDC audience during his Bioshock Mobile talk session. “Honestly, I can’t comment on BioShock on iPhone right now,” he explained. “It’s top secret.”

Errrrrrrrm…………so it is happening and you’re keeping it a big secret huh?  :)

So, will it be a scaled down 2D version or are IG Fun going to work some magic and shrink the huge 3D First Person Shooter into the tiny iPhone frame?

If you hear something before me let me know!

EA and 2K Games Join NVIDIA Camp

by Jay Garrett on December 9, 2008

AMD and NVIDIA are still thrashing out who is the bestest in the video card business.

NVIDIA is making a strong stand with its latest move.

Nope, it isn’t based on more frames per second.  This time NVIDIA are concentrating on getting friends in high places.

EA and 2K Games (creators of Bioshock) have both agreed to use NVIDIA’s PhysX technology to drive their physics engines in upcoming games.

I know what you’re thinking:  “So, what? A couple of big hitters have licensed somebody or others tech. How does that touch me?”

Well, if you’re loving your PC gaming then it might make sense to get some GeForce under the hood if you haven’t already!

Take into account that there’s been some pretty spanky performance incresases and the fact that AMD needed a bit of a tax break recently it would be smart to go the GeForce way.

We all like leaves moving when we brush past them in gaming worlds such as Crysis and physics simulation is becoming a must have feature in games so developers are going to be relying more on hybrid technology like PhysX in order to make sure that their games are running nice and smooooooth.

I think it’s safe to say that both ‘Bioshock 2′ and the ‘Crysis’ follow-up are going to run best on a GeForce-based system.

So. You know what you need ;)
