    iPod

    Platform »

    The Apple iPod is a popular MP3 player that garnered a bit of game support due to its large market. Support for games never took off until the newer, touch-screen iPod Touch and iPhones were released, and development of iPod Classic games has ceased.

    I just got a new 32 GB iPod Touch for my graduation gift(I bought a cover for it myself) and I am wondering what Apps I should get?  They can be free or cost money(as long as it's not too expensive).
     
    So, which ones would you recommend?

    Plants vs Zombies works really well on the iPhone/iPod Touch 
     
    Edit: You can also check out some of these.

    a good one to get for the ipod touch is a wifi checker so you can look for wifi when you are not in a designated place.

    @CitizenKane: Yes it does. It's good for viewing news articles and the video stream isn't too bad. It can glitch every now and then where it doesn't load up the whole video but it works most of the time.

    @Afroman269: Cool.  It's only $2, so it's worth download even if it glitches every now and then.

    Facebook, skype and twitterific for s. linking 
    SFIV, Tap Tap Revenge and plants vs zombies are pretty much the only games you need 
    FStream to listen to internet radio 
    Flashlight 
    Shazam is an app that can recognize music played near the microphones(Do new iTouch's have mics? I dunno) 
    Eliminate pro is a pretty good free fps game but myeah i find the controls to be pretty shit

    The app I've used most is Wolfenstein 3D.  Aside from that I can recommend Hook Champ, Angry Birds, Bird Strike, Minigore, Inkvaders, Pocket Legends and Trace.  I haven't played it yet but Car Jack Streets is free today, so that might be worth trying out.

    Just got a touch a few months back.  Here is my list of must have games and apps.
     
    Plants vs. Zombies  -this game is perfect on a touch screen
    Flight Control -this is one game I sometimes wish didnt have because my friends always want to play it and its hard to get my ipod back after. 
    Ms Pacman -I play this game the most, but I love pacman.
     
    some free games :
    Skee-Ball  
    Cube Runner
    Paper Toss
     
    Apps:
    Friendz - this is a free friends list tracker for Xbox 360.  There are many of these things out there, I have tried most of them and this is the best.  You can see your list, see what games people are playing, messages , add friends.  its great and its free.  There are paid ones too but I wouldnt bother. this one is great.
     
     
    Hope this was helpful.  I also use this website to track apps that are coming out and watch video reviews.  this site will also track the prices and let you know when your tracked games prices change.

    RedLaser - Scans upc codes for prices.
    1337pwn - a pain to setup, but it will allow you to see who's online on Xbox 360.
    Also:
    -Wikipedia
    -Amazon - if you're big on online shopping
    -Convert Units - kinda neat tool for school.

    Doodle jump is a must, if you like wasting time. Pretty addictive I must say, plus it gets updated every now and then.

    @CitizenKane: You should definitely get Fly, Kiwi, Fly! while it's free. I'm also fond of the Thomson Reuter's News Pro and Lexcycle's Stanza, which are good for news and ebooks, respectively.

    Again, I'm just saying, I've play Doodle Jump for 46 hours so far. It's a great pick-up if you're bored.

    Best Free ones: Facebook, Twitterrific, FML, Sol Free Solitare, Words with Friends 
     
    Best Paid ones I've bought and use: Wolfenstein RPG, Doodle Jump, Plants vs. Zombies, Giantbomb App 
     
    The most important one though, Peggle. I got it on sale, but I have almost played that game to 100% completion now...

    Does anyone know what day of the week Ipod games and apps drop?  Is there a release day every week like on the PSN and Live Marketplace or is it just whenever.  
     
    Im waiting on this really cool game coming up called FixPix.  Looks fun and a perfect game for Ipod.
     
    Here is a demo.
