We awoke this morning to find a few quid shaved off the not-insignificant price of BioShock for iOS, bringing its cost down to £7.49 / $10.99.
For how long, we wouldn't like to guess, but you probably shouldn't dawdle if you've been holding out to put its biopunk delights in your pocket

Rovio has been in touch to tell us that a soft launch of the anticipated '80s toy themed Angry Birds Transformers is now underway, with New Zealand and Finland landing the iOS version already.
Australia and Canada are next on the list for some red-hot Autobirds and Deceptihog action for iOS devices.

Lucasfilm and DeNA have joined forces (see what we did there?) to reveal a brand new Star Wars title for Android and iOS, Star Wars: Galactic Defense.
Judging by the visual style, the game ties in with the forthcoming animated TV show Star Wars Rebels, which takes place five years before the droids crash landed on Tatooine in the original movie. That said, Luke can be seen in the promotional ar...
Another fall season, another dystopian teen movie (and another accompanying mobile game). This year, the hot ticket is The Maze Runner, a movie based on a book of the same name by James Dashner.
The Maze Runner is actually the first book in a series of three, but the movie adaptation - and the mobile game accompanying it - revolves around the first book. And boy oh boy, does the game ever take ...
Fold the Adventure wants to be a clever mix between a puzzler and a platformer. It wants to test your grey matter, then let you poke around its minuscule levels.
And it works for a few levels. It's clever, well put together, and the twee art style, while not exactly fresh, is polished and slick.
But after a while things get a little tougher, and what was a relatively sedate experience become...
Bulkypix reckons that Nimble Squiggles is a "casual" game, but I'm not so sure.
Its spike pits and spinning buzzsaws make it look more like a hardcore platformer. Except, it's not one of those, either.
The task is to guide the colourful, swarming squiggles through 60 dangerous labyrinths with your finger.
The squiggles follow your finger like moths to a flame. So, most of the time, it...
Adventure game fans might be pleased to hear that the Bronze Award-winning Secret Files: Tunguska has been discounted on iOS for a limited time.
Rather than pay the full price of £2.99 / $4.99, you can grab the game for £1.99 / $2.99 right now.
It's all about a global conspiracy that Nina and her assistant Max get pulled into.
You'll travel across Germany, Russia, Cuba, China, and Antarct...
Paramount's movie tie-in game Interstellar is out on iOS at midnight - that's worth a "Hurrah", yes?
While movie tie-in games tend to be less than, err, stellar, Interstellar might actually be worth your time.
It's designed in a way to teach - through play - how space time-travel works in Christopher Nolan's film. This is achieved by allowing you to create a solar system.

Leg·end·ar·y is a puzzle game about numbers. It looks sharp, with an intriguing design that sets it apart from pretty much everything else on the App Store.

Essentially you're joining together strings of numbers, but they're ...
Tower defence sequel Cursed Treasure 2 is all about defending your gold from those goody-good heroes.
You're a grouchy king, fed up of your treasures being stolen, so it's time to prevent any more of it going missing. Yep, Cursed Treasure 2 puts you on the side of evil.
The so-called "Warriors of Light" - Knights, Druids, Pirates, and Ninjas - enter your domain with gold coins sparkling in y...
Pumped BMX 2 will be tricking and crashing onto iOS at midnight.
It's the bigger sequel to the Silver Award-winning Pumped: BMX with, as developer Adam Hunt told us earlier this year, is in"3D, [and has] more tricks, more challenges, and more crashes."
Having the series enter the third dimension has done more than make its backgrounds pop.
The 3D has allowed Hunt to animate each of the tr...
Secret Exit's wacky crash simulator Turbo Dismount is out on iOS right now.
Yep, fellow PG newser Harry Slater (jot that name down) lied to you when saying it was out this Thursday. Outrageous.
Everything else he said was fine, mind. As unbelievable as it might be, Turbo Dismount really is about sending a ragdoll on a vehicle into traffic, or up huge ramps.
The appeal? It's morbidly h...
Updated on September 24th at 13:15: It turns out that Anomaly Defenders will be out at midnight for iOS, too.
So, yes, don't fret iOS players, Android folks can get the game right now on Google Play [buy], you just have to wait a little longer.
It'll appear on the UK and US App Stores [buy] for £2.99 / $4.99 at midnight.
Original story follows...

RGB Express is a line-drawing puzzler that's all about delivering boxes to the right coloured houses. It's out right now in New Zealand, which means it should be hitting the UK at about midnight tonight.
The game sees you drawling lines to guide delivery trucks around simple mazes. You need to pick up the boxes in the right colour trucks and make sure you drop them off at the right coloured...
Air Race Speed is a futuristic hover racer that's just landed on the New Zealand App Store. That means it should be hitting the UK at around midnight tonight.
The game sees you pelting down a tubular raceway, dodging sticky-out bits of scenery, and trying to get to the finish line as quickly as possible.
You can choose between tilt and touch controls, and the more time you put into the g...
Updated on September 24th, at 11:52: We can't stop, won't stop, might have to stop when the Pocket Gamer CMS says we've gone over the maximum character count.
Today's update adds cheap bundles on the Cavorite, Jacob Jones, and Super Lemonade Factory franchises, and games from Playdek, DotEmu, and FDG.
A cool new feature in iOS 8 (how many times have we said that this week?) lets developers...
Although this very site called Joinz "a mix of Threes! and Tetris," during play it more obviously resembles old DOS game Color Lines.
The major difference here is that instead of having you fashion long lines, you're instead faced with constructing shapes akin to those from Tetris.

Smarter Than You is an asynchronous mix of Rock, Paper, Scissors, a bragging match, and that bit in poker when you try and convince your opponent you've got a better hand than you actually do.
It's just landed on the New Zealand App Store as well, which means it should be popping up in the UK at midnight tonight.
The game is a minimalist scrap between you and another human opponent. You'...
The last chapter in the Anomaly series, Anomaly Defenders, has just landed on the Google Play Store.
That means Android gamers are getting to play the reversed reverse tower deence game a whole day before their iOS cousins. Someone should make a note of that.
Whereas the rest of the Anomaly games saw you playing as human sci-fi tanks in a game of tower offence (move down a pre-determined pat...
The Jetsons offered a glimpse at a wildly optimistic possible future of flying cars, model families, and benign capitalism.
Galaxy Dash has a similarly vibrant cartoon-sci-fi setting to the Hanna-Barbera classic, and offers a bright glimpse at a potential future where endless runners aren't boring, repetitive, cynical IAP-harvesting machines.
It's not an entirely clear vision, but we appreci...
