the games don't suck...
controlling anything that involves virtual buttons does.
I'm still waiting for apple to make a peripheral that can turn the idevices into real gaming platforms... rather than 5 min casual (which I also enjoy).
I would agree with this statement. I don't think iOS will ever compete with the hardcore gamer crowd without a physical controller. I am talking specifically about the GAMER crowd though, so no one flame me! iOS games are like the Wii. Good clean fun, in short bursts. I can't imagine myself playing an iOS game for 6+ hours in a day like Mass Effect or Uncharted...it's just awkward to and the controls just aren't that intuitive.
