Mr. Carmack launched ID games, literally hand-coding most of the original Wolfenstein 3D and Doom games. The optimizations he fathered in the Quake and Doom series set a high bar for engines to come. Thus when Mr. Carmack announced he was working on a new game for the iPhone, the gaming community naturally took note.Now that game has been released at last, and it turns out that Mr. Carmack has breathed new life into an old favorite. In the end, Mr. Carmack has created a hardware-optimized version of the classic Wolfenstein 3D. The game first started as a port of the Java cell phone game Wolfenstein RPG.

Today appears to be rumor day over at Cupertino, folks. If we'd known ahead of time, we would have done a roundup at the end of the day. AppleInsider has a source that's reporting that at least one of Apple's upcoming iPhones will feature video recording.The information comes from a person "extremely reliable" when it comes to predicting Apple's hardware changes, which is why it's ended up on the front page, added to the fact that they mentioned "at least one upcoming iPhone". The new iPhone is due out this year, and will also feature extremely improved hardware to support better game on Apple's mobile device. This suggests new graphics and a new processor, which will help in other areas that aren't gaming.
