Thanks to the iPhone’s powerful CPU and quite capable Safari web browser you can run many of the popular web services on your shiny handset. In addition, you can also play some basic DHTML/JavaScript based games. The basic part is there to emphasize that so far we haven’t actually seen any “serious” web-based title released for the iPhone. Until now…
The guy named Donald Hays developed the full FPS RPG game for the iPhone called Sunset. Some serious programming is behind this project, hence you won’t believe it’s a web-based RPG. Not that we haven’t seen similar projects in the past, but it’s important to notice this is a web-based RPG for the mobile device. Now that’s something… or at least I think so.
All the major elements of the genre is there, meaning that you’ll find yourself walking around, picking items (inventory system is also in place) and killing all the beasts that cross your way.
Finally, if you want to see this baby in action – hop over to Donald’s website from your iPhone/iPod Touch’s Safari and take it from there.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
