iPod users looking for something extra to put on their players may want to check out XO Play's newly released Bum: Rags to Riches, a text-based iPod game which uses the device's built in notes system. The game puts you in the shoes of Rufus T. Pilkington, a homeless man whom you must guide back to success. Here's a short description from the game's website:

The box that once housed a refrigerator, you now call home. It’s been five long years since that fateful day you lost your job and your whole world turned upside down, leaving you broke and homeless. You are Rufus T. Pilkington, a homeless guy looking to get his life back on track. You’ll do anything you can for a meal and a dollar to get you through the day. You search through trash cans, you stand on street corners with your cardboard sign, dreaming that one day you will hit the big time. The choices you make will decide your fate whether you remain a Bum or become a Millionaire.
