Monopoly Added to iPod Games in iTunes Store

By Mr. Mayor

Monopoly Game Now Available on the iPodLovers of the classic board game Monopoly will be happy to know that the game is now available as an iPod game. You can pick it up via the iTunes store for only $4.99.

The game features the classic board and pieces (I’ll take the car… or the top hat please). Control of the game is intuitive and easy… simply use the click-wheel to roll the dice, or to buy, sell and trade properties. You can play against the ‘iPod’ or play with up to 4 players…and you can even customize the rules to your own liking.

The game is getting good reviews so far in the iTunes store with an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. If you’re a fan of the original… you might want to pick this one up.

Note: Monopoly will run on iPod nano third-generation, iPod classic and fifth-generation iPods only.

Apple Updates iPod Gaming Catalog

By Mr. Mayor

Apple Updates iPod Gaming CatalogBig 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 :)

Aquaria, Spore, and new iPod Games

By Jack

New Mac Games from Ambrosia - Aquaria Today Ambrosia released some new information on the Mac port of Aquaria, an underwater adventure made by Bit Blot. They announced that a new build is almost ready for beta. Also this build is currently playable at their Macworld booth.

Also EA has announced that Spore, the much anticipated new Will Wright game, will be released simultaneously on Mac and PC.

With all the keynote news it is easy to miss the small Apple updates. While browsing the iTunes store I noticed a slight change. Near the bottom of the main page was a little icon that read, “Pole Position Remix: Game Just added”. Could this be an iPod version of the classic Pole Position arcade game? Maybe. So I clicked this button and headed to the iPod games section, which showed no Pole Position Remix.

Another game added today was Block Breaker Deluxe, by Gameloft. Which is mostly Brick with some special features. But doesn’t look like anything very special.

Sonic the Hedgehog and Peggle Rock the iPod

Today Apple released Sonic the Hedgehog (The original) and Peggle for iPod. The original Sonic game includes 2 control styles and unlimited continues. You can listen to the retro Sonic music or jam to your own. Peggle is an iPod port of the PC game by Popcap. The main task is to shoot a ball and hit as many pegs as you can, getting points with each hit. The game includes 55 levels and a Pass ‘n’ play mode. You can buy both these games for your Classic, 3rd gen Nano, or 5th gen iPod for $5 from the iTunes store. Enjoy!
