Quake 3 Arena imported to iPhone/iPod Touch

Fusion | April 06, 2008 | News | Mobile 


We all know the iPhone is capable of many things. You can go on the internet and even websites such as Youtube. But did you know that you can also play Quake 3 Arena on your iPhone/iPod Touch? You use the touchscreen to play as you recreate the familiar game on your iPhone/iPod Touch.
Advertisements have shown us that the iPhone is a tool with a wide array of functions -- YouTube perusing, calamari ordering, and astronaut deafening, to name a few. But no commercials have warned of the iPhone's (and the iPod Touch's) sinister, newly implemented abilities -- fragging, railgunning, and gibbing. We speak, of course, of 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. Just thinking of the possible on-the-go LAN parties we'd be able to hold is making us consider finally trading in our Zack Morris phonebrick for Apple's sexy cellular device.

    I'm really impressed with that as for one the graphics are incredible. I was also wondering what the other Iphone was doing so when he shot at the opponent and killed them it was just mind blowing..

    Dear Apple,

    Thank you for making Quake 3 Arena even MORE easily accessible to the boys who play it while in my Fundamental of Voice and Data Cabling class.

    My grade is going to look SO much better than theirs.

    Sincerely,

    Tiffany
