Has anyone purchased the iPod games yet?

No, but I noticed something worth mentioning?

I just downloaded and installed iTunes. During the installer, when you click "Customize", there's an option for installing an "iTunes Phone Driver". WHERE'S OUR ITUNES PHONE?!?!



Or is this the stupid driver for the ROKR still? Hmm...

 

probably the rokr and slvr because it was there last update as well

 

It's probably an update for the razr as motorola/cingular announced itunes support for the new razr today.

where can you buy ipod games at/!? thats really werid i've owned every generation ipod and I've never heard of getting games

 

Not too weird. They were announced today. Less than 4 hours ago. You buy them for $4.99 in the iTunes Store. They only work on 5G iPods, and you have to have firmware 1.2 which was also released today.

 

There r games for the ipod? I don't have an ipod and I did not know this. hmm.... something to check into.

 

I just downloaded Tetris, Mahjongg, Texas Hold-Em and Mini Golf. Tetris and Mahjongg seem to play OK. Haven't tried Mini-Golf and Texas Hold-Em yet - still at work

 

I got mini-golf. It's pretty addicting.


(Yup, still waiting for the aquisition papers)

 

I downloaded Tetris. I was surprised by how 'advanced' it is. I was expecting something like the built-in games. It's full of colorful full motion graphics, along with sound effects, music, a menu with various options, various play modes etc. As for the control, it's a little tough. I think mostly I'm just not used to it. I'm not sure I would have used the scroll wheel. I probably would have made FWD and REV move the piece, the center button turn it, and the play/pause button drop it. As it is, you use the scroll wheel to move pieces, FWD/REV to turn them, and the center button and play/pause to drop pieces. Overall, it's quite nicely done, and while I don't plan to buy any more games from those currently available, I will consider buying other games in the future.
