I probably spend more on my iPod Touch than any of my other gaming console these days, primarily because it's just so easy to pick up and play for a minute or two at a time. Here's a bit about what I've been playing, as well as a little bit about what I haven't.
- The game above, GeoSpark is a fun little twist on the "dual stick" shooter that's become so popular on consoles lately. Pull similar shapes together to destroy them, but if different shapes touch, it's game over. It's fun, fast and affordable at $1.99.
- After hearing about its gay-positive message, I decided to check out Valet Hustle. I was curious how a game about parking cars could really have nothing to say. Unfortunately, I never really found out. Every single time I've played it, the game eventually crashed on me. It's too bad - It's a fun little time management game when it works.
- The free game Fingerzilla lets you crush little cities by tapping on the screen. There's not much else to it, but who doesn't like smashing stuff?
- So far, I'm largely unimpressed with the "big budget" games on the iPod - I have The Simpsons game, the Dexter game and several other "expensive" titles ($4.99 and up) and I never play them. I've also never played a game I've had for a while that I'm sure I'd like called UniWar. One of these days I'll finally check it out.
- The great flash game Crush the Castle has an iPod version, which I was unaware of until today and promptly downloaded. It's the best kind of iPod game - one that's instantly understandable and can be played for a minute or two at a time. It's $1.99 and you break stuff. You should buy it!
