Downloadable iPod Games - Download Games To iPod

By Davion W


Downloadable iPod games are available these days at dozens of sites. In case you think that only iTunes offer them, then you will be pleasantly surprised to note that there are way more than than just one site today offering interesting game titles like Mahjong, Monopoly, Solitare and Tetris. As an iPod user, here are some tips that will get you started in getting downloadable games for iPod without breaking your bank.

There are basically 3 places where you can find downloadable iPod games. They are iTunes, free sites and paid game sites.

iTunes - Parent Site For iPod Game Downloads

It is the most established or rather well-known site for anything related to iPod. You will find a suitable list of games to download and play on your iPod. Unfortunately, users do find the $4.99 per game download rather pricey. After all, there are cheaper options out there.

Free To Use Service

There are both amateur and torrent/P2P sites that offer downloadable iPod games absolutely free. iPodArcade is one such example. The variety is quite small as their strength is in Quiz games. If you love brainteasers, you probably will like them. And there are several torrent and P2P sites that offer free games for iPod.

Unfortunately, we realized that there is a huge security risk in downloading from insecured sites. We have heard enough of adware, spyware and virus infiltration. All in all, the games are slow to download and some are corrupted and unplayable. We also found them quite boring. But well, they are free.

Paid Download Sites

You will come across third party providers for downloadable iPod games like iPodGames.com, Coolgorilla.com, XO Play and Malinche have several games that are worth looking at. However, we do not like the acutely small selection of games at most of these sites.

There is a new breed of sites that offer memberships in exchange for a fee. This membership entitles you to unlimited access to the game database. Mind you, the library of games is huge as we soon realized. At less than $39.99 to $49.99, it is a cheap investment for the number of top-quality and fun downloadable iPod games.
