Games coming to Apple TV?

Well, being on the sceptic side, my theory is that iPod games could be backed up on the AppleTV hard-drive... I mean, even if the games were playable on the TV, you'd need an "Apple Gaming Remote".... not bad, I think.

I you want games buy a wii if you can find one.

it's the return of the pippin!

I would be sporting a tremendous woody if Apple TV supported 720P games. I tend to prefer "casual" arcade and puzzle games anyway.

Games? Meh.

and here comes the first instance where we'll be able to use the iPhone as a remote (controller)

If I recall correctly, some text strings pertaining to a phone were found in iTunes 6. It was quite some time before the iPhone came along (it's still not here), so it could be some time before we see AppleTV games.

It's a great way to fuel speculation.

In any event, Apple would be daft *not* to make games available for AppleTV. Quite how this would be implemented I don't know. As far as we know, the AppleTV isn't powerful enough to rival the current crop of consoles out there. So they would likely be more basic titles, similar to what's on the iPod, but 'upscaled' somehow for the tv.

It would be cool if you could play a game on the TV, then carry on from where you left off on your iPod later....

It explicitly states on the Apple TV webpage that it does not and will not play iPod Games. Unless Apple plans on making Xbox games available in a brilliant marketing scheme to steal customers from Microsoft, it is assured that these are made for Apple TV. Unless, of course, Apple is just playing a big trick on the blogosphere.
