The Sims Bowling released for fifth-generation iPods
Making good on its word to deliver, Electronic Arts on Tuesday evening released its interactive Sims Bowling game for Apple Inc.'s fifth-generation iPod digital media players.
"The Sims Bowling party comes to life with vibrant graphics, sound effects, and multiple game modes," the description continues. "Enjoy 'Sims Life,' in which you create a Sim and compete in a popularity contest, or bowl against a friend in 'Pass-n-Play.'"
The $4.99 title, which is available from Apple's iTunes download service, is compatible only with fifth-generation iPods that are running iPod Software 1.2 or later. It will not run on other iPod models or the iPhone, Apple notes.
Among the game's many listed features are "accurate physics and vibrant graphics," a practice mode, and the ability to earn 'Simoleons' in order to customize your Sim's bowling gear.
Electronic Arts, which recently made a major re-commitment to Apple's Mac platform, has also promised to release at least three more iPod games before the end of the year.

i guess this was why Apple.com was down earlier.

I thought there already was a bowling game for the iPod. Maybe it was a prerelease announcement that I saw.

EA will probably have hundreds of bowling game templates or any game for that matter. Take about a month to add new graphics and sounds for whatever popular movie or game series is out and you get a new game. At the end of the day, it's still bowling but they will generate sales because of the association.
When will they make these games for the iPhone? I sold my iPod.
