Now, this is one place where we never expected to see Jack with his wrench. After stomping their way through the Xbox 360 and the PC, the Big Daddie’s are all set to arrive on your cell phones in all it’s pixellated glory. IG Fun LLC, the international publishing arm of Indiagames Ltd made an interesting annoucement today at the Mobile World Congress at Barcelona, Spain. According to the annoucement, IG Fun has secured the rights from 2K to bring the multi-award winning world of BioShock on to your cellphones.

Sean Malatesta, the CEO of IG Fun had the following to say on the subject,

 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.

These last two years have been almost like a plethora of revelations for me. Among those major shocks, there are those I concluded in the following: dogs can sneeze (in all my years, I haven’t seen something this hilarious), frogs reproduce asexually (poor bastards don’t know what they’re missing), girls are a big pain in the neck (and hole in the pocket) and that a guy can actually get bored of kissing. I also realized that if I stuck to my motto of PC GAMING RULEZ, I’d be bankrupt before I could spell M-O-N-E-Y. Consoles and handhelds suddenly started becoming brighter prospects and the term “bang for your buck” has started making absolute sense. For those of you who think this is going to be another of those “PC versus Console” articles, sorry to disappoint you. Instead, I’ll be dealing with the question that has been torturing me the most: Are handheld and portable gaming devices ready to kick their console and PC counterparts out of orbit. And the answer? Let’s find out.

And by the way, if anyone wants to discuss the absolute beauty of a sneezing dog in action, do send me a mail… No shit, I’m serious.

Here A-Snake, there A-Snake. Everywhere A-Snake-Snake! In case that rock you’ve been living under got any cozier in the past 20 years, Kojima and his crew have been busy celebrating the Metal Gear franchise’s 20th Anniversary. And what better way is there for us to rejoice, especially since we weren’t invited to the party recently held in Tokyo? A roasting glut of Metal Gear news, I’ll say! After you’re down gawking at the new Guns of the Patriots gameplay trailer for the 5th time in a row, remember to hit the jump for other noteworthy items. Expansion pack for Portable Ops? New Metal Game online cell-phone game? “Snake vs. Zombie?!” It’s all there, gentlemen.

Here’s more proof that everybody really loves zombies. (Sorry, Ray!) It seems like more and more people are turning to the dependable undead to allow us to be the heroes that we really are. (Never mind the fact that if it was an actual zombie invasion, I’d probably be under the desk, wetting my pants)

The newest game, and probably the most innovative one yet, is MobZombies, a mobile game prototype that has the player run away from an ever increasing number of zombies, planting bombs to clear the path. However, as Destructoid points out, you don’t just sit your fat ass on the La-Z-Boy and start pushing buttons on the controller. Instead, this game promises to get you back to your birth weight as you dodge the zombies in real life. Wait, you didn’t hear that right? No, of course you did. The game tracks your real world movements via a (supposed) Bluetooth sensor that attaches to your wrist.
