Advertisements have shown us that the iPhone is a tool with a wide array of functions, YouTube perusing, calamari ordering and even astronaut deafening, to name but a few. But no commercials have warned of the iPhone's (and the iPod Touch's) sinister, newly implemented abilities such as fragging, railgunning and gibbing.
This regarding of course the handheld's recently developed Quake 3 Arena application, which uses the device's touch screen and accelerometer to crudely recreate that warm, familiar mouse-and-keyboard feeling. What is even more impressive, and can be seen on the YouTube vid above are the multiplayer capabilities. It is very intriguing to see the iPhone expanded in the mobile gaming direction and this recent development has been one of the more interesting ones I've seen. Hopefully more titles, including new original games, are to follow.
