I recently spent around a dozen hours on airplanes and in airports with my family. Before we took off, I stocked my iPod classic with a couple of new games -- The Sims Bowling and Texas Hold 'Em. Texas Hold 'Em is a poker game for iPods of recent vintage. Unfortunately, it's also one of the least enjoyable iPod games I have purchased to date.
