[QUOTE="HotHamBoy, post: 241635, member: 4638"] Welcome to the iPad club! My Air 2 is my first iOS device and first tablet and I can tell you that there is a world of amazing games for you to impulsively purchase. I recommend checking iossnoops.com daily for price drops and freebies, and toucharcade.com for their news, excellent reviews and great community. So, iPad recommendations: ScotchYeti's got some good one, although I prefer Her Story with a keyboard. The key to really enjoying touchscreen games is to stick to the genres that use it best, rather than genres that try to make conventional button controls work. Before getting to games, I recommend checking out the free trials for Marvel Unlimited and ComiXology if you like comic books, unlimited (sort of) reading! ComicFlow is a nice app if you want to read your own .cbz/.cbr comic files. Zinio is a nice service for reading digital versions of print magazines, some of which are interactive with embedded videos, like National Geographic. Try out KORG Gadget if you like making music, it's an amazing production suite. Try Procreate, Sketches Pro and Paper for drawing. Paper is made by 53, which makes the best iPad stylus for drawing as it features lots of pressure sensitivity and a built-in "eraser" tip. For pinball: Zen Pinball, obviously. The Marvel and Star Wars tables periodically go on sale for .99 cents each. But get the Zen app, not the Marvel one. For convenience. ProPinball - Best digital pinball physics, IMO. Atomic Pinball - two nice tables by Color Monkey, but not my favorite physics, tbh. INKS - A pinball puzzler Pinball Breaker Forever - Free, pinball meets block breaker. Weird physics but fun. Card Games - this is where the iPad really shines! Free: Solforge Hearthstone Magic Duels Dominion Mavenfall Card Crawl World of Tanks: Generals Dead Man's Draw Cheap and Excellent: Star Realms Ascension Yomi Xenoshyft Sentinels of the Multiverse Board Games - the secret best thing about having an iPad! Eclipse Stone Age Puerto Rico Pandemic Forbidden Island Forbidden Desert Ghost Stories Elder Sign: Omens Tsuro Splendor Ticket to Ride Small World 2 Pandemic Galaxy Trucker Galaxy Keep Talisman Pathfinder Adventures Lords of Waterdeep Dominant Species Suburbia Agricola Le Havre Catan Carcassonne ... And a bunch of stuff by Reiner Knizia Strategy/Dungeon Crawler/Roguelikes: XCOM - Enemy Within (edit: originally wrote, "Enemy Unknown" but Within is the superior follow up) Warhammer 40k Deathwatch - Tyranid Invasion - A good XCOM-like Legend of Grimrock 7 Mages Vainglory - Best MOBA on mobile Transistor Warbits - it's Advance Wars! FTL Crashlands Out There Titan Quest - You like Diablo? This is your best answer on iPAD. Planar Conquest - 4x Strategy juggernaut Hitman GO Lara Croft Go Autumn Dynasty First Strike Loot & Legends Door Kickers Hoplite Tiny Rogue 868-Hack Kingdom Rush Series Tower of Fortune 2/3 King Rabbit Sid Meir's Pirates Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes Skulls of the Shogun Clash Royale Space Hulk Warhammer Quest Roller Coaster Tycoon 3? Action Games/Endless Runners/Quick Time Killers: The Executive - One of the best and weirdest games on iPad, period. Space Marshalls Downwell Nimble Quest Tomb of the Mask Pac-Man Championship Ed. DX Desert Golfing Canabalt Ball King Xenowerk SkyForce R Circa Infinity Super Hexagon Icycle Hopiko Flick Golf! HD Deep Dungeons of Doom Fotonica Epoch 2 ...QWOP Puzzle: You Must Build a Boat - A must-own Monument Valley - Another must-own Gasketball Dungeon Raid Puzzle Quest 2 Magic Puzzle Quest - superior to Marvel Puzzle Quest Kairosoft Games! There are so many, but Game Dev Story, Mega Mall Story and Dungeon Village are good places to start! Whew. I've already gone on wayyyy too long, but these are some of the best games I've played on iOS. Obviously there is much more out there, but this is a big list to start. Hopefully this introduces more than just OP to some hidden gems. [/QUOTE]
