New iPods to be a serious gaming platform like the Sony PSP?
Electronic Arts are planning a huge attack on its eagerly anticipated Spore game soon, with the PC game complemented by several handheld versions, including DS, mobile and iPhone/iPod Touch.
News of these games makes for exciting times for all iPod fans as Apple plan to push Sony and Nintendo all the way for handheld gaming devices.
Spore is a very well designed game that takes reality to a new level. It became available in the US on iTunes only a few days ago.
However, by this morning the game had been removed from iTunes, and there’s no sign of it on the UK store either.
Judging by comments on the MacRumors story and forums that first reported the game’s availability, there may have been some technical gremlins in the game, with several users saying it hung at the title screen.
However, alot of people got it to work, and it seems the game will follow the pattern of the mobile and iPhone versions, with you guiding your Spore around primordial ooze eating smaller things and avoiding bigger things – while upgrading your Spore with new parts every so often.
We’ll have to wait and see if the Apple iPod game reappears this week, or if its release will be held back until the other versions of the game go on sale early next month.
