The Dilemma Of Price
The one problem that many iPod owners face is this – the price. Each game that you download at iTunes can cost $4.99 onwards. And each game gets completed really fast! For gaming fanatics, they can easily ramp up hours of playtime. So if you are those who love to play on for hours and keep changing games, it is not going to be cheap. I guess this is not only a dilemma you face. Since many iPod users are young, ie teens or young adults, coughing out a lot of money is not something they are too comfortable with. Do you agree?
Places To Download iPod Games
Now, when it comes to places where you can find iPod game downloads, there are thousands of them out there. We are going to talk about each group of them. From our experience, there are broadly 4 groups available where you can find downloadable games for iPod.
iTunes
We all know that iTunes is the parent site of iPods. This is where you can find a selection of games built specially for iPods. Prices range from $4.99 onwards and occasionally, you do get some special deals. This is a great place to shop if you can spare the cash. The games are of the highest quality and 100% compatible with your iPods.
Mainstream Gaming Sites
There are now mainstream gaming sites that are also what people call the third party retailers such as EA Hasbro, Coolgorilla, iPod Arcade, Oversite.org, BrotherSoft and so on. Some of the games are free but be ready to pay for most games there. The difference between these download sites and iTunes is the huge offering available.
Torrent Sites
This is probably one of the largest resources for iPod game downloads. The trouble is we tried many of these. The game files are either corrupted or hangs while we are playing them. And you will run the risk of damaging your iPod software if you are not careful as some are pretty buggy, ie poorly designed and not tested for bugs!
Paid Membership Sites
There are now many membership sites like UDC that offer you unlimited access to iPod game downloads. Well, at first glance, it does not look cheap. After all, a lifetime membership costs anything between $29.99 to $49.99. But the deal is this, you get to download as many iPod games as you wish, without any download limits or time constraints. So on the overall, it is still a great deal.
