Video review of iPod games

I spent $30 on the games yesterday right after watching the keynote. They were the first items I ever purchase throught the ITMS, err...ITS, and it went surprisingly well. Kinda batter drainers though, well..on full brightness. Anyway, the games are addicting and make waiting for the professor to get to class much less boring.

yes they do-actually, they made me authorize my computer again XP. luckily, iTunes realized that my computer was already authorized, and didn't count it as two machienes. still...

does anybody know if these games contain any sort of drm?

You do need to update your software to play the games, but iTunes will lead you through that. No big deal.

is anyone else bothered by the way he says mahjong? "mah-giohhhhnng." also no high-scores option for tetris? weak.

There's a little video review at The Gadgeteer as well -- Vortex and Zuma (http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/diary/julie).

Why the shaky-cam footage? Do the games not play through the video output? I'd love a little plug-and-play Tetris on my bigscreen from the iPod.

Wow... Netscape, huh, Netscape, I thought they fell off the face of the earth 6 years ago?

Thanks for the review, CK.

A quick question... no update to the iPod 5G firmware is needed to play games, correct? mine still shows 1.1.2 and the new 5G iPods released yesterday are 1.2.

Right now, Pac Man is tempting me, but if they do a Yahtzee, I am so there and can dump my Nokia N-Gage QD that I use to play Yahtzee on now.

Hey, I can still post here, I'll have you know... I just don't get paid for it so I try to throw you guys the love. ;-)
