World's First Hands On With With iPhone's Wolfenstein 3D
Atomysk says,
Is someone supposed to be excited about this?
Hope it's free, would hate for someone to spend actual money on a game we all played to death 20 years ago.
Also how can a Wolfenstien RPG be a Doom RPG style? Wasn't Wolfenstien first, isn't Doom a Wolfenstien style game? I'm sure there will be a Doom RPG too.

I'm actually pretty psyched for Wolfenstein RPG.
While Wolfenstein 3D came before Doom, Doom RPG came out for cell phones a while back. I dunno how psyched I am for Wolfenstein RPG (I never played Doom RPG) - their other effort, Orcs & Elves, was about as stock a generic fantasy RPG as one could imagine.
I'd be interested in Quake for the iPhone, if it had multiplayer, but unfortunately, "virtual controls" like you see in the Wolf screenshot... suck. They all suck. Without any sort of tangible feedback (like you get from a physical joystick), it's incredibly difficult to control the game. While I hope it turns out well, I can't really imagine it'd be precise enough to actually allow for, say, competitive multiplayer.
