Indie mobile developer, Indiagames, has released a new trailer to its upcoming mobile phone port of Bioshock. The trailer was released at the Mobile World Congress event in going on right now in Barcelona.
Indiagames is set to release a 3D version and a 2D version for slower cell phones. The trailer shown is only for the 3D version of the game. Sean Malatesta of Indiagames had this to say about the 2D version: "The 2D version, even when I first thought of it, I said 'how can you do a 2D version of BioShock?' I'll tell you what: our guys and 2K have really captured the essence of the game in a 2D format. It's really unbelievable. It obviously doesn't look like BioShock as you know it, but it gives you the same essence. The guys are pretty proud of it."
Both versions of the Bioshock port are set to be released soon. Check out the trailer after the break.Read more...

The original DOOM has been ported to a Flash game that you can play right in your browser. A contributor named Mike at Newgrounds has recreated the game that help usher in the First Person Shooter genre into all of our hearts.
Relive that first time you picked up the shotgun and your smile was as wide as your player's. For anybody that wasn't there when a new gaming revolution started, you owe it to yourself to play through this piece of history just once.
Only the first episode, "Knee Deep in the Dead" has been ported, but who's complaining? Head on over to Newgrounds for some imp killin fun.
The game requires Flash 10 for any of you that haven't upgraded yet.
