Downloadable iPod Games - 3 Instant Resources

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.

Essentially, there are mainly 3 kinds of sites where you will find these downloadable iPod games. iTunes, free to download sites and paid game download sites are such sites.

iTunes - The Mainstream Site For iPod Games

This is a no-brainer. Everyone knows that you can find games to download and play on your iPod at iTunes. However, the price tag of each game is $4.99. Naturally, there is no incompatibility issue with your iPod but for that price, it is not cheap.

Free Sites

There are some game sites that offer free downloadable iPod games. We tested a few at iPodArcade and found them to provide more Trivia, Quiz-like games more than others. There are other networks like P2P and torrent networks that offer free games for iPod.

However, we do not really advocate anyone to download from insecured sites. It is never worth the effort downloading free games only to expose your PC to malware and viruses. A lot of their games are not working properly and boring too!

Paid Download Sites

There are third party gaming sites like iPodGames, XO Play, Malinche and Coolgorilla that offer downloadable iPod games. They charge you per game download. But we find the variety of games here really small and limited.

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.
