Out Now: ‘Bioshock’, ‘The Nightmare Cooperative’, ‘Back to Bed’, ‘Almightree: The Last Dreamer’ and Much More

TouchArcade Rating:

It’s new iOS game night and one of the most hotly-anticipated titles is finally upon us: Bioshock. Despite all the hemming and hawing over a graphical downgrade and touch controls, it’s hard not to feel like Bioshock on iOS is a bit of magic when it’s actually running in the palm of your hand. Besides that heavyweight, the rest of tonight’s lineup is extremely strong as well. Also it was sort of a weird week in that a bunch of games got a head start by launching yesterday, but they’ve been included in this list just to have all of this week’s greatness bundled in one handy location.
