Yes, you read it right. The new game called Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes is for the iPod, not the iPhone. In this role-playing game, you are the protagonist Ziggy who goes on a quest to save his brother from the evil Mechanical Militia. Along the way, warriors created from the songs in your iPod can be summoned to fight your battles.

According to Square Enix's press release, the game is controlled by the click wheel (what else is there, anyway?) and is said to be as easy as selecting music. It's slated for release today at the iTunes Store at $4.99 per download and can be played on the iPod Nano with video, iPod Classic, and fifth-generation iPod.

That's a good idea for the iPod. In the wake of all the iPhone 3G hype, people have forgotten that the iPod exists.
