Did either of you guys read the article? They're saying that some devs do straight iPhone to iPad ports and that is why some of the games suck. They weren't saying that the iPad sucks as a platform; they were just saying that devs are being lazy and need to change some things.
Have you seen the 3ds lineup of lanch games? Theyre almost all ports of n64 games. And do u remember how they praised the dragon quest and ff square remakes for the ds? Now were getting ff3 with better polygons and already got secret of mana yet ign is silent.

none of those are N64 ports.
also with all do respect most of them do suck. alot of good but tons more suck.
also that ff3 is a port of a ds game and secret of mana is a super nintendo port.
Im not gonna get suckered in your argument again but if you enjoy paying over $30 for rayman over paying $1 for the same game on the idevices made by gameloft (with ubisofts blessing) there is no reason to continue this discussion.
That doesn't really have anything to do with what IGN was saying. They were criticizing the touch controls of the games that they ported from iPhone to iPad. As they said, iPhones are controlled by thumbs, iPads are controlled by a single hand. Devs need to address this.Have you seen the 3ds lineup of lanch games? Theyre almost all ports of n64 games.

No ones getting suckered if their not the same game = ). I'm also paying for the fact that i have glasses free 3D and games with much bigger budgets.

You seem to be getting all defensive over an article that doesn't say a single bad word about the iPad. All it is are a list of common design mistakes iDevelopers need to keep in mind during game development. If anything, I think this shows the author supports the iPad as a platform and wants to see it improve and get stronger.
As much I used to like IGN in the past, I would say their community is a pretty unfriendly place to Apple and anything iOS. It just feels dominated by the new Modern Warfare type generation of xbox and ps3 kids who unfortunately give the term "fanboy" a new and ugly meaning.

Brand new announcement. Much better port or remake than any of that 3ds n64 port launch lineup or even crap like rayman rabbits. If your a true gamer who grew up on dos and amigs youll agree. F@k the kids growing up on snes and n64 were the true gamers.
Also hereis anothercool game that got announced for racing fans:

I hate those mindless, pointless, non creative fps games thst are reskinned gsmes from last year. They are made for braindead children who have no creativity. At least nintendo tries to be creztive withs tuff likemkirbys epic yarn.
