Author X3D games?

Hello,

I am considering X3D/VRML as a development platform for 3D games, eg:
1sp person and 3rd person RPGs, space shooters, etc.

My questions:

1) Is X3D a reasonable platform to code such games?

2) Are there any examples of X3D/VRML games on the net, 2D or 3D? I
have not found any beyond very simple interactive puzzles...

3) The X3D spec ( and maybe the VRML spec? ) includes support for
embedded Java, which is much more attractive to me than ECMAScript.
Do X3D/VRML browsers typically support the option of Java script
nodes? If the X3D/VRML browser is a web browser plugin, which of the
"browsers" (web or VRML/X3D) is responsible for interperting the java?

Thanks very much for any help, especially on the topic of whether I am
barking entirely up the wrong tree...

Harlan
