You’re reading this because the title caught your attention. You’ve gone out and bought the new iPod Touch and have realised that it comes with an awesome gaming feature. You are now not only able to listen to music on the move, but you can play great games for free.

The games you can play range from the classic games like chess, bejewelled and battleships to the games which take advantage of the accelerometer in the iPod Touch. You can tilt the iPod Touch to play the game. Be careful, it’s hard to do whilst travelling!

The good thing about these games is that they also work on your iPhone so if you don’t have an iPod Touch but do have an iPhone then it’s still great.

All the iPod Touch games here are free. You don’t have to pay a penny for them. Some require you to transfer them to the iPod Touch whereas a lot of them only require you to just access a web page over WIFI.

These games are playable online or offline. You don’t necessarily have to download them to your iPod Touch.

These games are simple to access. The controls are always clear and there are no viruses to slow down your iPod Touch. If you have them transfered to your iPod Touch then you can play them any time, anywhere. The games do use up your battery. Maybe not as quickly as watching a video, but certainly more than listening to music.

The iPod Touch comes in several sizes and prices. The good thing about these free iPod Touch games is that they take little or no space up on your iPod Touch. The ones which don’t require download do not take up any of your precious memory space.

The list of games is endless but here is a taster:

Scramboni: This is a multiplayer online game that requires you to decode words by clicking on tiles that appear on your screen. You win points for getting the words correctly with addition bonus points for fast fingers.

Chess game: The classic game of chess
