There was always interesting to see how "big" platform merged with mobile from "yes your tablet only for Angry Birds" to a full porting of all parts of the third GTA and Baldur's Gate.During these years, iOS (and its sister Android) systematically, step by step, swept fortification bastions skeptics, confident that mobile suit solely for children's arcades. Swept, but the central counterargument remains: There are no games with the seventh generation of consoles has not been rescheduled. Quests and all downloadable stuff, as well as X-Com, are not considered - after all, it is undemanding games. Now, when your tablet (you can phone, but better tablet - let's talk more) can easily run one of the best (if not the best) game of this generation, what is called, in your face - utrites, spiteful critics. However, you can run, but it is better not to do it.
Bioshock - a great game. I sincerely advise all of its past, but better - install all three parts, from the top to hang a couple of additions (without in any way) and the abyss of life that way for a month. Brilliant history, which began with a shipwreck, and finished air assault the city of Columbia, which are interconnected so as to no Mass Effect never dreamed squeeze nail anyone who would think to start telling that game, they say, for the children. Not for children: to understand the first part of Bioshock is desirable to know the basics of capitalism and read a couple of books by Adam Smith (and some dystopia heap - Zamyatin fine); for understanding thirds, in particular, need to be familiar with the theory of the strings. Great, once again, the game is a great series - but it is not the place for iOS, not the place.
Here a piece of anything. In Bioshock very, very important graphic component - and not have to wear a monocle now portraying snob. The same "grafon" that a decent man, of course, to the one place in Bioshock running on all cylinders. This is exactly the most atmospheric game of his generation, and her look bad - well, it's like "Stalker" to look at the phone in the ancient uzhaty quality.
On mobile, of course, Bioshock looks frankly bad. My iPad Air was able to provide decent performance (owners of older devices complain), but graphically all very sad. Probably because Bioshock looks at low settings for the PC - there are no shadows, terrifying portrayal of all to mush. Togo magical glow (normal HDR, actually, but in the context of the overall picture is the radiance was almost heavenly clearance) is not here, and it's all killing. I remember how gasped when pressure chamber through the window (the same pressure chamber?) First saw Rapchur - it was something awesome encounter with something new.Here, the long-awaited meeting with the city more like a Chinese fake famous painting - the same features, but what the hell, it is a copy and a copy of a very mediocre.
But the original fine. Rapchur, as already mentioned - the underwater city. Built in such, the American style of the late 60s: a lot of skyscrapers, neon signs; amusing ads about family values and prosperity of his native land. Manages this wonderful city of Andrew Ryan - a refugee in the United States from the Soviet Union, disillusioned consistently first to communism and then capitalism. Ryan, knowing what on earth he did not realize the plans, built the city under water - time, remember the end of the 60s, just blossoming of mathematical thought, hegemony physicists and ideas Lem Gibson. The basic ideology Rapchur Ryan announces individualism - all for the pleasure of one person. Everything is permitted, everything is possible - even in the game is a sign with the inscription «free drugs here» and it certainly is not about drugs. Freedom of expression and speech reaches the limits - the creators can not interfere, let embody what came into our heads.
Creators embody, but burn pots, as it turned out, no one wants: as usual, materializes a narrow stratum of the rich (there is a clear parody of the creative narkobogemu American society), and the remaining koryachatsya for pennies.

Parallel story is gaining momentum with Adam - a substance that is able to markedly improve the mere mortals. Edam is produced from the bodies of those killed, and engaged in this simple children - little girls, which are specifically for this spooky zombie work. As a free edam wanting full, girl protected by a huge steel-clad monster (Big Daddy). Analogy with drug trafficking (where children are also playing an important role, and out of this business, as with Adam, you can only forward feet) we carry out will not - rather, it shows how society can pokorezhit highest form of selfish capitalism. In the end, everything falls apart - New Year's Eve, 1969, all of a sudden go crazy - and instantly Rapchur inhabited mummers (masked a) crazy, dispensable killers, crying children with edamosbornikom in hand, and a handful of survivors. We find ourselves in the city after apparently several days catastrophe - everything is destroyed, in some places the glass props gave way, and the ocean is leaking, but the main thing - do not understand why the main character is a place suspiciously familiar.
On Bioshock made to swear in the sense that the shooter out of it mediocre, but it's not true, just the ability to shoot here is not appreciated as much as, for example, in Call of Duty. In the combat system the main merit of Bioshock - its diversity. You can go through the entire game with plasmids (similar to magic), can crack protective turret and send your enemies, you can brainwash people. You can, in fact, anything - not necessarily shoot. And such a good formula rests on the touch-sensitive control: the fire to help avtopritsel and zhahnut plasmid - in general, and especially do not need to aim. Another issue is that to switch between weapons and special abilities are not very comfortable (in the PC version of these cases were hanged different mouse buttons), but in another way, like, and do not do.
But anyway - to play Bioshock on the tablet all only to spoil. So long the text was written, in principle, for those who have not played it at all - and that they immediately rushed immediately to the "incentives», PSN, Xbox Live and purchased a miracle. Those who have already managed to join, probably can and try - just play Bioshock on the tablet fun. Do not get a feeling for the atmosphere, but on other platforms if not at all - for iOS, you can turn to.However, make sure that you have modern technology and have an extra $ 14.99 : so much asking for the application, which is higher than not only the Steam, but also, it seems, in the traditionally expensive console stores.
