Apple seem to have made they’re feelings on the iPhone’s gaming potential quite clear over the past couple of months with several big players in the games industry committing to the touchscreen mobile phone. And now, Apple can count another feather in their cap with the announcement from games giant Konami that they will be releasing an iPhone 3G and iPod Touch exclusive version of the massively popular Metal Gear Solid games series. The Game, expected to be available through the App store in spring next year under the imaginative title Metal Gear Solid Touch will see gamers control their character with that beautiful 3.5 inch TFT display.Initially, the game will be released with 8 levels, with incentives such as wallpapers rewarding players who complete each level. Though anyone who has played an MGS game will agree that getting this on to the iPhone will be no easy task, what this goes to show is just what a multimedia monster the iPhone 3G really is. Having already revolutionised music mobile phones with iTunes, mobile phone web browsing and SatNav, it seems portable gaming is next in Apples sights. With versions of Pacman and Sega’s popular Super Monkey Ball series already available along with a host of games specifically designed for the App store, the i Phone is definitely flexing its gaming muscles. While this may only be of interest to the gaming half of the iPhone population, it proves what the Apple iPhone is really capable of. Without question, the iPhone 3G is much more than just a phone.
