Some games such as Pacman 3D or Yeti3D already demonstrated the potential of the iPhone as a platform for games in three dimensions, but a further step could be taken with porting Quake 3 Arena, the famous FPS ID Software , on the mobile phone from Apple!

Different publishers of video games such as Sega or Gameloft have already indicated their interest in the iPhone, with components that are strong enough to carry out a 3D rendering workstation. More quietly, other developers too busy to create their own games, or to adapt some of the standards in the history of video games, like Quake 3 Arena!

This version, which is not yet available for the moment but will no doubt soon, allows you to play Quake 3 with his or her iPod iPhone Touch. Rather than reproducing controls on the surface of the screen, the developers have decided to exploit the accelerometers. Thus, his iPhone inclined to move forward or move laterally, while a touch on the screen will trigger the firing. Of course, difficult to expect the same level of accuracy and speed that keyboard and mouse, but that first port portends very good things!

It is also, as we see in the video below, it is possible to play with two network connected iPod Touch WiFi! No news has yet filtered by the method of distribution of this Quake 3 for iPhone: will it be accessible to the holders of iPhone, or eventually Whether it be marketed through the iTunes Store App? Be assured that we will not fail to keep you informed.
