Last year when apple bravely proclaimed the iPod Touch/iPhone to be officially a handheld gaming device we laughed it off as all the iPod really had were some casual games and a Doom port. Fast forward a year later and here we have Kill-Test, a full 3D First Person Shooter game for the iPhone/iPod touch, and guess what? It’s not looking bad at all!

In fact this is pretty impressive for what’s basically a cell phone game. Now that the iPhone is fully 3D capable and has a big multi-touch screen all bets are off. If Apple can get its hands on a couple of key developers we’ll have to acknowledge a serious 3rd player in the handheld market.

I could post a video of some official big wig at Apple showing off the iPod Touch at a Keynote conference. But why the hell would I go and do that when there’s a video of a cute Japanese girl showing it off on national Japanese television!?

The iPod Touch is pretty much the iPhone without the phone. But it’s still the sexiest looking media player I’ve ever seen. It’s a shame that same sexiness wasn’t extended to the new iPod Nano. It looks like the deformed younger brother of the iPod. I’m sure the features are hot, but as looks go: it’s fugly.

The iPod Touch is released worldwide on September 28. Expect to hear stories of how somebody got mugged within a week of the release and how some kid (who clearly isn’t getting any pussy whatsoever) spent 1000 hours of his life hacking the phone to emulate video games.

Mac gamers rejoice! Yes, the 3 of you, c’mon do that ipod dance, you know you want to. And why should you rejoice? Well someone found a way to use the accelerometer in MacBooks for gaming. Sure its just a simple arcade game but its a neat hack and for the state of gaming on the Mac its a welcome breath of fresh air.

Apple has been putting a lot of emphasis on entertainment lately and hopefully they will catch on and give some sort of gaming incentive.

Video after the jump!
