N.O.V.A. for the iPod...

Near Orbital Vanguard Alliance is a new game for the iPhone/iPod Touch. I downloaded it tonight for around $7.00.

It's amazing. This is basically a direct rip off of Halo for the Xbox, only on the iPod. Many of the guns are similar, the enemies appear similar, and the overall design of the game just screams Halo.

But you know what?? That doesn't take away from the fact that this is one of the best hand held games that I've ever played. I have over 40 games that I have downloaded for the iPod, but this is by far the one that has given me the most "console like" feelings of them all. Granted, I like a LOT of the games I have on my iPod, and I play a lot of them quite a bit.

But this new first person shooter is something to marvel at, and really lets the competition know that the iPod is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to gaming.
