So can the iPad 1 play most games reasonably well vs the iPad 2? Is there any game or other apps that just won't run on iPad 1?

It can run the same games as the iPad 2, but the iPad 2 will look better in a few cases. There are not that many games that really push the iPad to it's limits, but for games that do, there are noticeable differences. Smaller and lighter games probably will yield little to no difference.

The Heavy Duty games like Infinity Blade run a lot smoother on the iPad 2.

I can't trust those screen shots. I don't see screen bleeds on the iPad 2 screenshots.:dodgy:

I guess that depends on the iPad. Who knows? Maybe the OP will get a perfect iPad 2.

You can play every game on the iPad 1 (at the moment). Some games have just little graphical improvement on the iPad2 and the loading time is much shorter than on the iPad1.

There are several augmented reality games that obviously don't run on the original iPad, but that's mostly the lack of a camera. Games like Infinity Blade (shown above) and Real Racing have increased texture quality, anti-aliasing enabled, reflections, glare, shader warming, and a host of other visual improvements when played on the iPad 2 vs. the iPad 1. On top of this, games will also run at 60FPS instead of ~30 on the original iPad.
