    I've found the Tetris game to be playable and passes time on the train - all the games use the clickwheel BTW.

    The best game is supposed to be the Texas Hold 'Em Poker, maybe not so interesting for young girls though.

    Of course, the games are overpriced in the UK compared to the US. Rip-off Britain!!

    I've only tried Tetris

    I'm really not a fan of the controls.

    The games that come with the Ipod initially would be so much easier if they just let you press up/down/left/right - but they insist on making you move you're finger over the scroll wheel which makes it really hard

    Tetris is just the same and I would imagine the other game would be also
