Not sure about all of you out there but I was a product of the Eighties. I was one of those kids that grew up with the old school Atari and Commodore 64 systems. For some reason I have found that many of us from this generation and forward are highly addicted to games. There is something magical about a game. In fact it can almost be any type of game as long as it fills long gaps of boredom easily and transports you to a happy time and place away from the reality of the world. Even if this is just a short term fix that lasts for only 15 minutes a game can be such a wonderful escape. Sure the psychologists will throw up their arms about your coping mechanisms and your parents or wife will nag at you about it but honestly for those truly addicted to gaming this is just a little side chatter. The wife, parents and psychologists are probably right to some extent but lets be honest how harmful can a game be anyway.
So if you are like me, and into games, then the little iPod sitting in your pocket right now is a goldmine. There are tons of games that you can play on an iPod and many of them are very addictive and fun.
The most important thing about playing an iPod game and something you have to ask yourself before you get started is what type of game genre do you like to play? This is an important question because you want to start with a game that you will like and if it is in your genre of games that it is sure to please. So think about the games you like.
Do you want to pretend to be in a fantasy adventure game where you are the hero or heroine? There are many different types of fantasy adventure games even and you should think about time period and genre even within the fantasy adventure arena. Do like the slaying dragon of fighting aliens or does it really matter? You can find an iPod game no matter what your liking is everything from dragons to aliens can be found in the action adventure genre.
What about a mystery detective type of game? How about pretending to be Sherlock Homes and wrapping up another murder case? This can be pretty exciting and a lot of fun and there are iPod games that fill the mystery niche.
Want something a little more reality based? Why not try a sim game where you are a beach resort tycoon. You can build profitable hotels and airports and really rake in the big bucks and feel like a big time investor or should I say player!
Since iPods are built to be so portable the iPod game is the greatest thing since sliced bread. You are no longer tied to your Nintendo, GameCube or other gamming system sitting in front of your TV. You are now mobile son and you can take your games with you where ever you go. Are you stuck in some massively long line to register for classes at a college or stuck in a boring lecture hall in high school. Maybe you are just waiting for some friends to pick you up to go out on a Friday night for a party. Well, since you are now mobile don't let those idle minutes pass you by get started playing young one. Go for it and seize the day Carpe Diem and Carpe Play Games! Most important have a lot of fun and play a game for me.
