I'm not sure how the game N.O.V.A works on the iPhone 3GS, but it is awesome and has the same type of on-screen control.
Not as easy as say an Xbox 360 controller, but not bad.

N.O.V.A does in fact work on 3GS cause thats what i play it on, in fact it runs better on my 3GS than my 3g and 2g :) if fps continues to evolve on the iphone and itouch it may very well be the next handheld console, even with the limitations of the iphone/itouch, it still looks great and plays great, certainly caught me completely by surprise.

What I meant to say is that N.O.V.A. is running on my 3GS, but I do not know if it uses the Unreal Engine 3. Very impressive game.
The controls take a little getting used to, but once you get the hang of it...
Also, amazingly you can change the controls to multiple layouts like you would on a console game. So you can change how to move, fire, and look.

Man that is really impressive. A phone running games of that caliber. I would love to have Gears of War 2 on iphone. Maybe Microsoft should make a handheld console that you can actually download your xbox360 games to. Would be nice.
