New iPod Games Released
Apple has brought out the first new iPod games in the iTunes Store since the introduction of games to the iPod back in September. The new games are Sodoku and Royal Solitaire (iTS links), both from Electronic Arts. The Solitaire game features 10 versions, "including Canfield, Klondike, Peaks, Pyramid, Beleaguered Castle, Aces Up, Yukon, FreeCell, Golf, and Scorpion." (I guess now the last reason to use Windows is gone). Each are at the same price level as the first round: $4.99. While it's certainly good to see some new iPod gaming content, it sure would be nice if Apple would release a SDK and open up the platform for independent software developers to strut their stuff.
Thanks alex (and others)!

I don't see the point of solitaire for the iPod, as it already comes for free on every iPod with a screen. This reminds me of Disco. A bit of flash helps sell a product.

it is super-depressing that Apple went to EA of all places for iPod games
