iPod game review database

Section: Software + Apps, Games, iPod + iTunes, iPod, iPod nano Soon after the launch of the iPhone 3G and the release of the iPhone 2.0 software, Appletell ran an article titled ”Will the iPhone kill iPod Click Wheel gaming?” There’s no doubt the iPhone and iPod touch were viable gaming platforms the moment the App Store opened, what with high level titles such as Super Monkey Ball and Crash Bandicoot, instantly achieving the respect that iPod games never did.
