The iPod may have an impressive install base, with some 67 million units sold, but the game selection kind of sucks. Maybe it's that only a percentage of those are full-size, fifth-generation iPods with screens capable of playing the downloadable casual games.

Fortunately gamers who've tired of Bejeweled and Cubis 2 now have two more options, bringing the total number of iPod games to eleven (woohoo!). EA has released (say it with me) Sudoku and Royal Solitaire which weigh in at 25MB and 45MB respectively and will set you back a mere $4.99. Cheap!

Interested parties (both of you) should check out the iTunes Music Store for you casual, downloadable fun. Me? I think I'll stick to my GBA micro. Michael McWhertor
