New BioShock game announced
Author: Joe MartinPublished: 13th February 2008
This is probably what the new BioShock mobile game will look like. But more pixellated. And smaller.
The bad news? It's not for PC, consoles or handhelds. It's for mobile phones.
IG Fun has been contracted to develop a version of BioShock for mobile phones and, though details are pretty scarce, we've already developed a serious amount of ire and contempt for the title - which will inevitably be some sort of sidescrolling platformer or an adaptation of the hacking minigame.
“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," said Sean Malatesta, CEO of IG Fun in an attempt to win over the plentiful skeptics.
"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.”
IG Fun has worked on other mobile adaptations in the past, including The Office and Rush Hour 3.
Is it possible that a 128x128 version of BioShock could be any good? Let us know what you think in the forums.

Just kidding
burn whoever thought of this at the stake, with the torch plasmid preferably, and with much prejudice. possibly the wrench as well.
I have never seen a video game related CEO say anything interesting/useful/intriguing/true about video games, EVER. They're not even worth quoting in my opinion
The scary thing is that i think it actually could be...
And still you are quoting him?... :p
that phrase was very predictable.....
about this BioShock for mobile phone.... FAIL!
GREAT WORK BROTHERS!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully it won't put anyone off buying the original after playing a rubbish port.
lets hope they learned their lesson....
