A while back, Apple introduced $5 games for the iPod. They include Tetris (now available for every platform, including TI’s pocket calculators), Bejeweled, Mini-Golf, something else, and a poker game. Poker is a hit with all the kids these days and it’s no wonder: it’s a fun, fast-paced action game with guns, violenc… er, what? Poker? The card game? Hm.
Well, in any case Apple decided to cash in (ho!) on the poker melee. This week a magazine which looks at the world of Macs, MacWorld found a cheat on the internets using the Google and found some mildly humorous results: you get to play against Apple’s senior VP of marketing in the game’s final round.

Hrm… maybe they’ll have Halo for Zune where the altern-a-ending levels are ripped out of Wolfenstein 3D, ‘cept you go after Ballmer and Gates as the baddies. 😀 I think I’d seriously consider buying a Zune just for that alone. 😉
