Apple today made history by adding an iPod game to the list of free downloads from the iTunes store. The game, “Vortex“, is being offered in “demo” mode for free. The Demo contains the first 2 fully playable levels of the 360° brick-bashing game (think Breakout, developed by Steve Wozniak, but rounder).

The 22MB download requires a 5th generation iPod and software update 1.2 or later (we still have no idea why you can’t play these games in iTunes).You can download the Vortex Demo here.

    2. Awesome. I wondered why they didn’t launch the iPod game feature with a free game initially, just to show people how playable games ARE on the iPod. I guess they figured breakout was already a “hidden” game on the iPod, so this might be a good one to make free.

    3. Is this a US-only demo? I can’t find it anywhere on the Canadian iTunes Store, even though (almost amazingly) we do have all the games.

    11. If you have an ipod, take it outside and drop a brick on it. It is the most rip off, counterintuitive, pig of a device on the planet. I hate the thing. It is really symptomatic of everything that sucks about our hardass, rip off culture
