The Best iPad Games (Well, Some Of Them)

5 1

The new iPad has an incredibly beautiful display and it will certainly make games more fun to watch and play. With that in mind, I surfed the 'net a bit to get an idea of what the most popular games are for the new iPad. It is interesting, as a side note, that there seems to more focus on games than on productivity applications but I think that is because tablets are still finding their place in the computing food chain.

The new iPad (Apple doesn't want to call it the iPad 3) has a high-resolution display that they call a Retina Display that was first used (as far as I can tell) on the iPod. It sports a 1536 x 1248 resolution packed into a 9.7" screen. That is a remarkable resolution for a not-quite 10" screen. There are about 264 pixels per linear inch (the iPhone 4 actually has a 330DPI screen but they only have to do that across a much smaller screen). Add both a faster processor and improved on-board graphics and you have a gorgeous display. Games probably show off resolution better than anything other than, maybe, great photographs.

The games listed below (mostly) take good advantage of the high-resolution screen and some of the games are exceptional!

Words with Friends HD

Marathon

Plants vs Zombies HD

draw something is awesome on the ipad3- it's so much better because you have more room to draw and the colors are amazing on it!

nice round up..some great games on your list. i haven't tried them all, but i have tried a few. i think the one that got me the most addicted would be PvZ..man..that game get's intense. if you play the unlimited flags marathon..it gets crazy. i forget what it's called. i've stopped playing it for fear that it would waste my years away. i remember being on vacation in hawaii and just wanting to play that all the time. i think i even went to the beach for a few hours and just played that game...INTENSE!

Wish I had an iPad :( My friend LOVES Words With Friends. She is always talking about it and bugging me to get an iPad so I can play. I told her to wait until I win one here ;)
