Does LEGO Batman: Gotham City Games bring me closer to owning an iPhone? photo

It's unheard of in the videogame industry, but I don't have an iPhone. I can't go to an industry event without seeing at least 57 of them; maybe I'm doing something wrong. 

I've been toying with the idea of picking up an iPod Touch, Apple's non-phone portable media device, just so I could play some the games. Hell, we're giving away Spore Origins, and Konami just announced a new Metal Gear for Apple's platform. Now today, Warner Bros. has revealed LEGO Batman: Gotham City Games is now available for a limited "holiday price" of $5.99. How much longer can I resist?

But not so fast -- Gotham City games is just a collection of LEGO Batman-themed mini-games. You've got the Batarang Skill Shot, the Batwing Pursuit, Bane Boxing, and The Riddler's Maze ... so this isn't exactly what you might expect. 

Still, they all look like fun diversions, something you might be able to just pick up and play when you're waiting in a long line or doing your business (read: on the toilet). And for just under six bucks, maybe it's worth it. 

Has anyone played LEGO Batman: Gotham City Games, and is it worth it even at the special holiday pricing?

If the iPod Touch, 16 gigs and beyond, didn't cost a bajillion dollars, I'd totally get one just for the games (like MGS: Touch).

No, probably not. P.S. I've heard/read MGS: Touch isn't going to be all that great. But still that's what they said about Metal Gear AC!D. And I loved those games.

Really disturbing that Sadistic, then Takeshi drops the first two comments here. Do you guys share a computer in your "dungeon"?

Oh, and my iPod Touch just collects dust. The motion controls for most Touch/iPhone games are more nonsensical than most Wii games.

I recently picked up Rolando for the iPod, it's terrific. Likewise the SimCity 2000 port and FieldRunners.

Simple answer: NO
I have a phone and I use it for phone calls and nothing else and thats the way it will stay. If I want to play games, I've my PC,Laptop,PSP or PS2 all platforms designed to Play games not fucking make phone calls.
