Favourite iPod game?

i have Pac-Man, Zuma and tetris and i must say that they are all great games... very good time killers... all the controls are easy to use but yea i give every game that i have 5/5

I want to purchase a game, but I'm concerned that it will be difficult to control. What do you guys think? Are the controls intuitive? Do you get used to it easily?

For me the chess game is the best, followed by Tetris and Doom.

But I spend little time playing the games.

I like Cubis and Bejeweled personally.

Before anybody gets needlessly confused, mnhnhyouh and mrdantownsend are talking about games that are available via Rockbox, which is an add-on/replacement firmware for the iPod. Games like Doom, Pokemon and Chess are not available on the default iPod firmware, so if you want to play them you'll have to look at Rockbox or iPod+Linux (see our Hacks & Mods (http://forums.ilounge.com/forumdisplay.php?f=79) forum for more info).

That having been said, out of the games that are available for the 5G with the default v1.2 firmware (ie, the iTunes Store games), my most-played are Mini-Golf, Texas Hold'Em, and Zuma. Mini-Golf is most certainly NOT a full-fledged golf game (as the name implies), and is fairly simplistic, but is still great fun for what it is. Texas Hold'Em and Zuma are both challenged, and all three games are very well-suited to the Pod's controls.

While I like many of the other games in principle, I find that trying to play them with the clickwheel can be cumbersome at the best of times. For example, both Mahjong and Bejewelled are good games, but scrolling a cursor around to select items gets old really fast. Pacman suffers from similar issues in trying to use the clickwheel to control direction.

Uh... no? That's how Canadians and Britons spell it.

And Australians, and Kiwis... :)

Texas Hold'em, I Play it during all my classes

hey,
you know for pokemon?
is it possible to play music while playing the game?

My favorites are Tetris and Zuma. Those are the most addictive IMO. PacMan is also fun. Cubis is also fun, but doesn't beat Tetris and Zuma. I haven't tired any other games, but I do have MiniGolf. It is fun, but after you finish it, you don't want to play it as much. You do try to beat your score though.

Texas Hold Em is the best. PacMac stinks, controls poorly at best. Vortex is good, controls nicely.
