I recently got an iPod touch, and now I don’t go anywhere without it.
Here are a few games/apps that I am currently enjoying, and definitely recommend:
Bejeweled 2
A puzzle game. I’ve been playing Bejeweled for years, so naturally, I wanted it on my iPod, and the version is so seamless & smooth, I fell in love with it all over again. I am also looking forward to Bejeweled Blitz, as an add-on, which was previously a Facebook exclusive, and will be fully integrated with Facebook so you can upload & share scores.
3D Fantasy Tunnel
A racing game, for lack of a more applicable genre. Awesome, and awesome. Utilizes the accelerometer in a way that makes you wonder the whole time you play: “Why the heck hasn’t this always existed?!” One word that may describe it: Trippy.
Crush the Castle
Yeah, you literally just crush the castle. It’s kind of physics-based, and tons of fun.
Trace
A casual platformer. Use your strategizin’ skills to draw your way to each level’s goal. Avoid lots of obstacles, don’t get pwned. Tons of levels, and very fun.
AppSniper
Not a game, but totally worth the 99 cents. Browse by recently discounted apps (yes, this includes “temporarily free” kinds of promos, of which there are way more than I expected), set it to alert you when apps you’re interested in drop in price, and also find way more cool free stuff in general than you ever could in the regular app store. Get it, and remember to check every day for one-day-only price drops.

Randomness:
I wish my local bakery would make bread this interesting. A plain loaf? Psh. A bloodied torso? Delicious!
The Bird and the Bee’s ode to David Lee Roth has an entertaining video: Diamond Dave. Oh Eric Wareheim, you’re silly.
Unusual canned foods? What’s so unusual about canned and roasted scorpions I ask?
I can’t say I’ve ever thought about what Miles Davis’ classic album “Kind of Blue” would sound like if it was ion 8-bit, but apparently someone else did. Warning: they want actual cash for the whole thing. The samples are well worth the visit though.
See Mad Magazine Fold-Ins from 1960 to now using Flash. Good work New York Times!
I bet your Orbs song isn’t half as annoying as mine. It made my dog actually howl. When you’re done creating chaos, check out a Flash game on the same site called Space Walker.
Halloween’s right around the corner, so don’t forget to make your Christopher Walken mask.
Want to see if the new username you’re thinking of taking has availability on many different sites? Check with this site first.
Can you guess the accent? My terrible score of 28 says that I myself can not.
Neil Young playing with Devo? It happened.

Looking to kill some time? Here are some of my favorite Flash games from the past year or so.
10,000 years after this robot-filled city shut down, it’s up to you to bring it back to life. Little Wheel’s an excellent point and click adventure that could be your thing.
Play some Atari 2600 games online and relieve your youth. Ok, my youth. Now I feel old.
This game uses light in a great way: Closure.
Aether is an imaginative puzzle game. Well done, good music and an overall neat idea. Swing through the galaxy and discover new planets with different goals.
Apparently I drink too much coffee, because my hand is just not steady enough to succeed at Dodge Bubbles.
Drag all 50 states into their correct locations.
I love spot-the-difference games, and 6 Differences is an excellent addition to the genre.
Simple and addictive: Crush the Castle.
Kayak King (get it? ha!) is a drive-me-crazy-but-I-will-finish obsession. Navigate your kayak through the goals while fighting the current.
Get four in a row by moving colors around quickly before they get blocked in: Jewel Lines.
