Top 10 iPod Touch Games

Top 10 iPod Touch Games

I love my iPod Touch.

I really love it.

Years ago, I used to carry around a Handspring Visor. This PDA used run the Palm OS and had a black & white screen. No color, no wifi… not really much fun either. It was good for taking notes, but not much else. It still sits somewhere in a closet in my house. When the iPod Touch came out, I knew this would be a great PDA for me, but oh the games!

Being a Mac gamer, I’ve never really had a wealth of games to choose from, so with the iPod Touch, I feel like a kid in a candy store… so much to choose from, where do I begin? Well, since most games aren’t even 10 dollars, it’s not too difficult or expensive to just pick one up. Football, racing, card games… You pick it, they’ve got it.

I decided that today would be a great time to give you a list of my top 10 Favorite iPod Touch games. If there’s one that you love that’s not on this list, be sure to let us know so that we can try it out! So with that, let’s go!

10. Tap Defense : This is a classic game of tower defense. Very customizable games and great replay value. I wasted many days with this one. I think this might have been one of the first games I got for the iPod.

9. Skee-Ball : There is nothing all that great about this game, except I find it quite addicting. I used to play Skee-ball at the arcade as a boy and this one really brings back the memories. You even accumulate tickets that you can turn in for virtual prizes.

8. Pocket God : Ever want to have complete control of life or death over a island full of primitive villagers? Well, neither did I, but I sure find it fun. Although not a game in the purest sense, it really doesn’t fit into any other categories, so here it lands at number 8 in our list.

7. Harbor Master : A fun little game that can help you waste away some time while sitting on a bus or passenger seat in the car. You find yourself as a harbor master trying to get the boats into their slips without hitting other boats. A good time.

6. Dark Nebula : This is the latest game I’ve just added to my iPod and I am enjoying it. You’re guiding a puck around some futuristic maps. Not much plot, but a lot of fun.

5. Sailboat : This game is easy to learn, but really tough to master. Take the helm in a sailboat in an America’s Cup style competition. You need to learn how to steer your boat with and against the wind. If you are up for a challenge, give this a try!

4. Tiger Woods Golf : Definitely not a driving game (snicker). This game has stayed faithful to console versions of the game on a little 3 inch screen. There are multiple courses available to play as well. You will find many hours of enjoyment with this game!

3. Flick Bowling : One of my first purchase on the iPod, Flick Bowling is one of my all-time favorite games. The touch controls for flicking the ball down the lanes are great and the animations of the characters all combine to make this one of the best bowling games I’ve ever played… on iPod or console!

2. Flight Control : THIS is addiction. After you start playing Flight Control, you will suddenly notice that it’s 3 hours later than when you started the game. You’re playing an air traffic controller that is trying to guide airplanes on approach to appropriate runways without crashing them into one another. Planes and helicopters are all traveling at different speeds, increasing the difficulty. Enjoy!

1. Madden Football : The all-time standard in football games for consoles and PC’s is on the iPod touch. I didn’t think that there would be any way that EA could bring a good experience to the touch, but they did. You can read our full-review of Madden here. It is number one on my list of games for the iPod Touch.
