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. via gizmodo http://hermitworks.blogspot.com/2008...-3-itouch.html
Oh yeah online play with this great game, my favorite game from the Quake serie. It would be awesome if I had an iPhone..
Definitely going to be glued to the apple news section untill this is released !!!
I am really curious about how well the controls will work.

oh yeah... playing this on a rollercoaster. or on the tube

I can see how it works but not how well.
