I love my iPod Touch.  I have a ton of little apps, games, and it has a much better interface for managing my music and podcasts than my old iPod.  Did I mention it has games too?

I admit, my tastes in gaming are pretty hard to satisfy on a hand-held, nevermind an iPod, but there are a few exceptions that I love to play.  Plants Vs Zombies is such a great game it works on whatever platform you want to play it on.  Most of the various Doodle games (DoodleBowling, DoodleFlyToTheMoon, etc) are really good too, with a mindless sort of replay value that draws me in.

But one of the real surprises to me was Battle Bears: Zombies!, a twisted game with a dark sense of humor that really appeals to deviants like myself.  The game starts out with a short movie featuring a grizzled veteran teddy bear escaping from hordes of sweet carebear-style creature, that when shot bleed rainbow blood.

When his mode of transport is shot out from under him, he is forced to make a valiant stand against the hordes of sweet lovable little bears coming to hug him to death.

While mowing down the hordes of nightmarish lovecreatures is wonderful, the best parts of the game are the movies that accompany the unlocking of new weapons…

…and the arrival of bosses.

It’s a short game, but has good replay value, and also has a couple of other game modes available after you finish the game for the first time, Survival and Boss Trials.  The game is $1.99 with a free “lite” version available that does not have cutscenes and all the weapons, but good to try before dropping the $2.  For the money, though, I definitely recommend the game.  I might not play it as much as PvZ or Bookworm, but it’s a great game, especially if you are a twisted bastard like myself.
