“That’s right. The iPad has gradually become a hub for some pretty solid on-the-go gaming,” Samuel reports. “Developers are still learning how to best utilize the gigantic touchscreen interface, but more and more often, we’re seeing iPad-specific gems pop up in the iTunes Apps Store.”
Samuel reports, “The best part? Unlike consoles, most of the games come at comparable budget prices, while still offering plenty of fun.”
Samuel provides quick reviews of the following iPad games:
• Defender Chronicles HD
• Rage HD
• Trucks And Skulls HD

I’ve been playing rage HD. It does what a game should do. It’s addictive, fun, and when you finally do put it down, it leaves you twitching and looking over yer shoulder.
IPad – The Revolution.
This is news???
Add “Across Age HD” to that list, and you’ve got my favorite iPad games. <3
Looking forward to seeing what other games devs can come up with for the iPad. I think it has potential.
@ theloniousMac
Lovers are supposed to make twitch and look over yer shoulder, not video games!
Meanwhile over in the RIM PlayBook playpen…Flash…err…that’s it. Holy crickey crickets Batman.
Life is much too short for “gaming.”
Maybe that’s why there isn’t enough “learning.” I don’t mean schooling- I mean intellectual curiosity and Creating.
@auramac Hey, leave your dinosaur preconceptions behind! We aren’t playing Pac Man anymore, you know? Few movies come close to a masterpiece such as Homeworld, Half-Life or Fallout!
reckless racing is my go to game lately..
I’m with Karlv, here. I guess the better question is: “is he just figuring this out?”. The only other option would be that the quality of the games available has gone from “amusing” to “Wow!”. I can accept the latter – I haven’t been watching that closely – but would be annoyed if this was just a case of a reporter finally noticing.
Do I need to point out that the A4 is faster and more powerful than most of the CPUs maybe a decade ago? Yeah … things are developing that quickly! I’m a little surprised that the iPad doesn’t come with a GPU with its own dedicated RAM.
The US plays games while China takes over.
lukeskymac, come back in twenty years and we’ll see how your life is going. Game on – twirp.
“The US plays games while China takes over.”
And we pay them to make the gizmos that are bringing about the downfall of our society and country. Seems like we have some kind of friggin’ death wish. Guess we’ve got it coming.
Wait and see what they do with airplay – send game to you tv and use iPad for control
Chinese play a shit ton of games. They just don’t have a two party democracy full of retards on each side paralyzing any forward progress.
@ron
What is it that you want from life that you don’t have? Seriously, stop whining about China; life is great, go enjoy it!
Manbearpig – enough said.
Ya I really like this stuff and I use it to play game too very good stuff. I have already one. Ya great stuff in my thought.

3 ipad classics there , superb games , match for anything on any other pc/console
no wonder nintendo are seriously worried
come on. it has been begun since iphone came out. ipad is not just device to play game. of course, you can do a lot more than phone. but it’s not new. by the way, I don’t play mobile game. it’s terrible, too small screen. I’d better listen to music during that time.
I am working in internet marketing company, so i’ve no time for playing games, but when i am in way i would like to play games, and this is all because of Apple, so thanks applet to generate a little game of our lives.

Until the iPad gets Firefox with Ad Block Plus, NoScript, Ghostery, BetterPrivacy, NoSquint and TrackMeNot, plus a outgoing firewall like LittleSnitch, I will not be a purchaser.
It’s like Apple is purposely designed the iPad to replace the open MacBook with a closed device to help Google and other marketers, websites etc., know everything about what you do online.
Like gas mask pr0n? Everyone will know, even with Private Browsing enabled.
The iPad is making back door outgoing connections outside of port 80 while surfing web pages at the NY Times to Akamai servers. Load the iPad agent in Safari, install LittleSnitch and see for yourself.

I’m personally happy that you will not buy the iPad, you do not deserve to use one.
@silverhawk
Your right, I deserve the best and that’s why I use a Mac with Firefox instead.
I see your posting from a Windows box, enjoy your pain.
ron, you may have a point. Next time I see the rich MBA who outsourced my job to India (first) then Toronto, maybe I’ll ask if my playing games and following blogs (now) is better for him than my doing a good job (then) was. I didn’t ASK to “retire” “early”, I grabbed at it as a drowning man grabs at a life preserver thrown his way. I’ve re-structured my life to include making money in the stock market (100% success, only 20% earnings) and walking dogs (as much for my health as for the pocket change). I’d rather have a job, but don’t NEED one. I have no debt … you kids should pay attention to that point … so I can afford to live on “not much”. And play games on my Mac.
