Which game(s) should I primarly get for my iPad? I want fun game (I used to play on pocket consoles and still playing on stationary consoles), that presents power of an iPad. For the first ones I bet Real Racing HD and Plant vs. Zombies - is it a good choise and which should I get first? (Eeehm, I just do not want to waste my gift card by buying some crappy games)
Got a tip for us?

Then you will want to avoid Gameloft games, as they have crappy 3D graphics, sub-par game engine (see Nova, brothers in arms, iron man --- all essentially built on the same engine, just texture skinned differently) and their control systems have always been mediocre or sometimes pure crap. don't even get me started on AI and how they spawn
gerball for iPad is pretty good

I'm biased though, I developed it
It's doing OK at the moment, although AppStore visibility is definitely an issue.

I believe these are all "must haves"
Galcon Fusion
Angry Birds HD
Pinball HD
Plants vs. Zombies
Flight Control HD

I've been playing Angry Birds HD obsessively. I know some buyers of the Iphone game are upset because I guess it's just a larger version of that, but I don't care - it's just a really involving, insane game. I'm not interested in the accelerometer-based games for the Ipad, those seem ridiculous, but anything that has detail is really great - things that were more complicated simply because of the small size of the Iphone screen like Angry Birds.
Really -- I find my fingers slipping off of the controls... I have it but gave up after the first play or 2 -- May need to check it out again.
Not sure what part of the word you are in, but in Canada I don't think you can use a giftcard to buy apps.
+1
playing it now. Timeless, addictive, fun.
Also, you can play it in portrait mode.. Which is just fantastic!

haha, Music sucks, gameplay and concept rock! Graphics need work! Worth the money.. My son will love it. Look forward to the next update..
I meant it when I said honest opinion
No way!
I used to play this non stop on the Xbox 360, and it's sequel and it's numerous game modes were also outstanding.
Shame this is only on iPad, I would love this on iPhone too.
Edit: the six game modes from Geometry Wars 2 are in the iPad version, superb!
Spectre 3d!

Spectre 3D is an iPod Touch/iPhone game that's amazing and it scales very well to the size of the iPad screen (2x).
Older mac users will definitely remember this game.

- Home Run Battle HD
- Pinball HD
Is it just me or does PVZ get a bit boring once you get on the roof... I was having all sorts of fun but once I got to the roof I lost interest.
Thanks for pointing this out to me, I would've wasted my money otherwise.
But, can I use Vanilla Pre Paid Credit cards and use that for apps?

Yes, after playing the 360 version for about a million hours I did find the control on the iPad to be a bit, shall we say "different". But, after a surprisingly long time playing it on the can, I found myself addicted.
Yeah, now what I'm waiting for is for someone to hack it so a PS3 controller can be used instead of the screen "sticks". But while I'm on that note, I'll just hope they come out with a Retro Evolved 3 on the 360
Wish in one hand...
