I finally bought and downloaded a bunch of apps onto my iPod Touch last night. My only question: are Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies internet-only games, or can they be played offline? Because when I try and start playing them, my iPod gets stuck looking for a wifi account, I think.

Some levels of Angry Birds Seasons require Wifi to play, but original flavor Angry Birds and PvZ can be played offline. Your iPod Touch is probably trying to connect you with a GameCenter account - there's usually a popup that you can dismiss.

Yes! This is it, and I just want to play with myself.
Wait, no, well--you know what I meant!!
Anyway, do I have to delete and then reload the games to stop them from trying to access the GameCenter?

No, Gamecenter is its own thing - I'm not sure there's a way to disable it completely, but you should be able to turn off notifications under Settings.

Yay! It looks like I got it to work by going into Restrictions and turning everything off in GameCenter. Thanks!!

yes. I turn off game center too.
BTW, the thing about gamecenter is that other players who know your gamecenter name I think can find out your real name and email address.
