It's potpourri this week for the very first iPhone Weekend Warrior! The homebrew scene's got a couple of useful apps for you this week, and you're bound to find at least one you like. In the game scene, a game analyst is touting the iPhone as the PSP killer. Agree, or disagree? Here's the biggest iPhone news this week:
- Game analyst Nicholas Lovell says that the iPod Touch will eventually kill off the PSP. The iPhone's a great device, but I disagree. What about you? Link.
- That said, it's still good the iPhone's getting some great games. id Software is releasing Wolfenstein RPG and Quake III for the iPhone. Link.
- Unconventional, yet interesting. The iChange is a car that uses your iPhone as a key. It's an all in one package for carjackers. Link.
- Some hackers got an Apple wireless keypad working with the iPhone, but they're not sharing the app just yet. Link.
- PSP Homebrew developer Exophase releases a port for the TurboGrafx-16 Temper: temper4iphone
- Add a swipe bar to the bottom of your iPhone screen as an alternative to the Home button: iHome
- Add more VOIP providers to make cheap calls when you're someplace with Wi-Fi: Siax (VOIP) Client
- An application that will let you send an SMS without closing the app you're currently running: QuickSMS

Looks like mgs is now an on-rails shooter like House of The Dead. Hopefully it sticks to the same mgs formula. The graphics look pretty darn good with sprite graphics
It looks like it belongs in an 80s arcade cabinet with operation wolf written on the screen, overtones of the RamboIII arcade game. I hope this isn't the best of iphone gaming to come out otherwise shoot me now. I wouldn't mind playing MGS3 and 4, I had MGS2 on the xbox and MGS on the Playstation1. Both brilliant games, I actually even enjoyed the second one, I'm somewhat rare in that from what I can gather.
