I didn’t expect much from games on the iPhone. I had visions of casual games, perhaps a fancy take on solitaire or a version of poker that takes advantage of the handset’s touchscreen. Surely not a true mobile gaming experience. Boy, was I wrong. For the last few days I’ve been sampling some of the games available from the iTunes Store on the iPod touch, and I’ve been stunned at how elaborate and involved they are. On the iPod touch I’ve played a version of Gameloft’s “Real Soccer 2009″ that rivals the version of the game on the Nintendo DS, and I didn’t even miss the buttons.

“Guitar Hero” is one of those “Why didn’t anyone think of this before?” kind of games, so it’s no surprise that the series’ popularity eventually led it to the Mac. Aspyr Media licensed “Guitar Hero III” and published it for Windows and Mac at the beginning of this year, and now they’ve followed that up with the Aerosmith edition, which is a standalone game, as opposed to being an expansion pack. The gameplay in “Guitar Hero: Aerosmith” is the same as the original.

Yahoo was quite the chooser last spring when Microsoft offered to buy it — the Yahoo board held out for a higher price. Now it’s looking more and more like the beggar. Its relationship with Google is pretty much finished before it even had a chance to begin, and it appears Yahoo is reaching the end of its rope. Used to be that Google was all hard-headed about going through with an ad revenue sharing partnership with Yahoo, regardless of what the Department of Justice had to say about it.
