Today, The Digital Lifestyle has launched a new page featuring video reviews of all current iPod games. The Digital Lifestyle reports that this is a new branching out for the site, and they are also going to try and review as many iPhone games and apps as possible.

Says Ryan Ritchey, founder of TDL:

“Since most of the games are short, we didn’t want to make ten minute reviews…It was interesting to see the difference in the quality of the games. Some are great, and some are downright awful.”

They even reviewed my favorite iPod game, ‘Mini Golf’. According to them, the game is too small and has many limitations. Imagine my disappointment to read this review! Oh well, the game isn’t for everyone.

We want to wish TDL the best of luck, and hope things continue to go well for them in the future… even though their Mini Golf game review wasn’t favorable… I’ll let that slide.

To watch the reviews, visit The Digital Lifestyle >

Big changes to the Apple games catalog on the iTunes Store!

Zuma from PopCap has been added to the list of games compatible with Nanos and Classics… However (and sadly) many other games has had their section removed. These include: Bejeweled, Mahjong, Lost, iQuiz, Mini Golf, Musika, Royal Solitaire and Vortex.

The remaining games are hidden from the public, only available for download through your old backdoor links from different websites. I’m not privy to any of these old links… But by all means if you know of some, post them here as I’m sure many of our readers will want them (Including me!).

One can only suspect that with the new app store and 3G iPhone coming soon, Apple is busy cleaning up their games and other sections in the iTunes store prior to launch. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see these games pop back up again once the app store launches, but what the heck do I know. I certainly hope Mini Golf comes back, or at least a new, better version of the game comes out. That was always one of my favorites

Could it be true, or simply bad color in a print ad? The ad above is from a Minneapolis-St. Paul Circuit City ad today.

Lets all wait for the Apple store update this Tuesday to see if it magically appears.

Any bets?

In a nut-’shell’ it’s a clear case with a ‘kickstand’ for your 3rd gen iPod Nano. It’s made from a protective polycarbonate that shields your precious nano from danger. The ‘kickstand’ also provides a unique hands-free way method of video viewing. Kinda neat.

The case provides access to the dock connector and headphone jack as well.

Toss your Nano into this bad boy and throw it in your bag or pocket. It’s not going to get scratched or damaged in this bad-boy!

The VideoShell for iPod Nano is available for $19.99 USD from the DLO site. Click here for more info.
