does the ipod really count as a gaming handheld? really?

what qualifies a machine as a 'handheld gaming device'

Look at the OP and thread title one more time. It's still a HANDHELD device that plays games.


i dunno though.. its most notable games are uno and bejeweled? texas hold em? we might as well be including the ti-83 in this vote.

ROFL.  True too.  Playing Drug Wars on a TI-83 in high school was probably more fun than iPod games.

I disagree. While the Iphone/Itouch leaves a lot to be desired when compared to a dedicated portable gaming device like the PSP or the DS, there are many wildly fun games to be found on it. I think it's a pretty good gaming device... just lacking compared to other popular alternatives.

geoDefense, Rolando 1/2, Star Defense, Real Racing, Knights Onrush and Reign of Swords are just a few off the top of my head that are quite good and are also fairly varied in genre.

Anyhow, my vote goes to the DS. Games like Professor Layton, Elite Beat Agents, New Super Mario Bros and especially Final Fantasy IV DS give it the edge over the PSP for me. It's extremely comfortable to play as well.

Edit: The only three I've ever owned are the DS, PSP and the Iphone.
