Ten games I most want to play on the iPad (Part 1)

iPad Gaming

Although PCWorld would consider me an “idiot,” and our friends at Gamertell believe I’m setting myself up for failure, I’m still looking forward to getting my iPad on April 3rd, and I’m looking forward to playing games on it. My iPhone has proven itself to be a quite capable gaming machine, but that tiny screen has just never been compatible with my big thumbs. Will the larger iPad screen correct this problem? Will the accelerometer still be logical in a device that big?

The iPad, therefore, will be a more logical choice of many games because the controls won’t be as cramped. I won’t need to worry as much about my thumb hiding the action or my fingers missing the proper “buttons.”

Yet, it’s still kind of tricky because many iPhone games were designed specifically for the small screen. The iPhone is easy to tilt and turn, for example. I won’t know if this is the case with the iPad until April 3rd (2010).

And so, there are quite a few games I’m eager to try out on the iPad.

Check out the list over at Gamertell.com.

    it should be fine…and I’m sure most of the bigger companies will be putting out updates that will know if you are on the iPad or the iPhone…

    Yeah, and what I’m really hoping for are that some A-list publishers start porting their games to the more power iPad, even if they bypassed the iPhone. I think the iPad will be perfectly suited for a game such as Square Enix’s “Fire Emblem.”

    oh I’m sure there will be TONS of games that will not even bother to go to the iphone/ipod touch because the ipad will blow them away with the power and real estate…

    and hey I wanted to thank you for the prize along time ago…the Cooling Bar…I love it…it goes so well with my 15” MBP 2009…and I use it all the time…who needs a loud fan blowing all the time using a usb port….thanks for the prize again
