Sudoku on iPod finally adds up

SudokuI’ve never gotten the hang of the whole Sudoku craze. That’s probably because I’m more of a word guy than a numbers fellow. Why spend my time adding up numbers in a Tic Tac Toe grid when I could be solving “Canterbury coppers” in five letters? One of these is a far better way to utilize my otherwise useless cesspool of trivial information.

Regardless, I understand that this Sudoku thing is all the rage, so I’m sure there are any number of people who will be psyched that Apple’s added Sudoku (iTunes link) for the iPod. It’s one of two new games for the iPod available to buy at the iTunes Store today—the other is Royal Solitaire (iTunes link), which is apparently quite a step up from the built-in version. It includes ten different variants, including Klondike, Pyramid, and and Canfield, plus allows you to track scores from around the world. Both games were developed by Electronic Arts.

So, if you’re still looking for a few last minute stocking stuffers, you can gift the games for $4.99 each. I’m still waiting on Baccarat for the iPod. I think it’ll be a real winner.
