Games developer BioWare has found itself in the spotlight of late thanks to the XBOX 360 release of the rather popular Mass Effect. And as evidenced by the recent PC release, it’s clear that BioWare is looking to broaden its platform horizons. In so doing, the company hasn’t overlooked the iPhone.
As BioWare revealed in a recent MTV interview,
“We look at every platform that comes along. Obviously, something that’s as big a cultural and technical success as the iPhone is something you really got to take a close look at. Certainly, there’s nothing written in stone yet but we’ve got a lot of folks looking at it. It’s intriguing. I think one of the things that we’ll have to see how it shakes out is what type of consumer buys games on it and what type of experience they’re looking for. You want to always mash the consumer experience with what you’re building. We want to understand what people are going to do with it. Who knows. We’re definitely looking at every platform."
Will we see an iPhone port of Mass Effect in the iTunes App Store before long? Let’s hope. But until then, stay tuned…
... and multi-player is in the works! Look for an update in a few more weeks :)

I posted all this info in the forum on the 29th...
I also submitted the article about multiplayer and linked to Phil's page
no credit? not even a bit? =(
Multi-player? AWESOME!!
Yeah, multi-player would almost justify the price, IMO. While Galcon is my go-to game when I've got time to kill and has been since its launch, I still think it's overpriced. But that's just my opinion. Anyway, it'll be nice to see some new features added - it'll help justify the $10 price tag!
Let me be able to turn off the sound effects in the menu please!
hey pete!
the new update will have a settings menu for your user info to play online. Phil confirmed there will also be a switch to turn off sound effects.
I've played this one heaps. It's very elegant in the sense of being a risk-like strategy game honed to a bare minimum. Conquer your local cluster in the ad breaks!
Yeah, sorry about the sound effects thing .. I sort of messed up with that one! Fix coming soon :)
