The iPhone is a great platform for mobile gaming. That generous multi-touch display, speedy internals, and graphics prowess make for some truly promising gaming potential. Case in point, Kingdom Lores has been released for iPhone owners itching to get their dragon-killing, dungeon-exploring fix.
Marco Giorgini is developing the 3D fantasy game using a custom OpenGL rendering engine - making sure the even the most die-hard dungeon-based fantasy gaming fans will find that Kingdom Lores lives up to their standards. The game can be played in portrait mode with a bird’s eye view of your character, or in landscape mode with a first-person perspective (FPS style).
Check out the video below to get an idea for the smooth 3D action and object-interaction that Kingdom Lores gameplay offers. You’ll have to manually download and install the game on your jailbroken iPhone, but if a 3D dragon-slaying mobile game is your cup of tea, chances are you’ll be SSH’ing Kingdom Lores to your iPhone right quick.

With the processing power of phones these days, I can’t wait to see what sort of games will be brought to the Windows mobile 6.1 phones such as the Diamond and the Raphael. Me thinks these may have potential for MMORPGs. World of Warcraft anyone? With the full QWERTY keyboard of the Raphael, This could very well be possible for smooth, non-complicated gameplay!
