Video demo of $5 iPod games


Intrigued by yesterday's announcement that you can buy $5 video games for your iPod from the increasingly misnamed iTunes Store? Wondering how they compare to bundled time killers like Parachute? Netscape's C.K. Sample downloaded casual classics Mahjong and Tetris so all of us with pre-G5 iPods can experience the fun vicariously. The games look pretty impressive, with rich colors and smooth animations but, unsurprisingly, the iPod's stellar scroll wheel interface doesn't translate well to all games, with Tetris' block-rotation proving a bit finicky. Any Joystiqers care to share their thoughts on any of the other eight titles released yesterday? Now if they would only release Doom.
