Holy butt-clencher, Batman! Quake 3 Arena has somehow found itself ported to the iPhone. Details are thinner than my scalp is on hair, but the video clearly shows a networked game going on in full swing. You may be thinkng this sounds semi-neat, but let me tell you this; the game uses the freaking accelerometer for direction control, whilst shooting is done simply by tapping on the touchscreen. Now, I'm off to collapse in a euphoric pile, you checkout the video and then do the same. There's no word on the release yet, but hopefully it will show up somewhere once I am out of my aforementioned, euphoric pile state. We'll keep you posted.

um..... in the video you should have seen what he was doing. i would like to see some onscreen controls, then you could use the accelerometer to strafe left and right. ^^

left right up and down should be on the screen, but fire should stay as a tapping of the screen :D
