Scrabble

This classic board game Scrabble needs little introduction, as it continues to dominate both the App Store and its original scene. But one of the things we didn't like about the iPhone version was that juggling tiles was sometimes more difficult than it needed to be, and not being able to see the entire board at once in great detail was a pain. Both of these issues should be non-existent on the iPad, making it even easier to rack up the points with a seven letter word. The sleek design, intelligent AI and intuitive multiplayer options makes this a must-have for iPad owners.

Monopoly Classic

Monopoly Classic is another classic board game that can capitalize on the iPad's release: The main problem with Monopoly on the iPhone is that it doesn't let players look at the board when trading properties. Action buttons are also too small and require a lot of hunting-and-pecking. Ideally, EA will update the title to take full advantage of the iPad -- a fully visible board would top the list -- but even in its current iPhone form, Monopoly will prove to be a fantastic addition to the iPad. Rather than dusting off the actual gameboard and shuffling paper money, a family could conceivably place an iPad on the coffee table and start playing right away.

IPHONE DEVELOPERS BUSY MAKING IPAD GAMES

We were the first to report that the Apple iPad will certainly prove to be a strong force in mobile gaming. Apple has been successful in dominating the handheld gaming market with the App Store for iPhone and iPod touch.

As Apple announced the iPad it made complete sense for Apple to extend the App Store to iPad. To show the capabilities of the new iPad Apple invited EA Mobile and Gameloft to showcase their popular games Need for Speed Shit and N.O.V.A on iPad.

Electronic Arts have reworked Need for Speed Shift for the iPad and made the game fully touch enabled. The graphics appeared alot better than on the iPhone. Just tap inside the car to see from inside, you can swipe up and down change gears, and tap on the mirror to look behind you. Awesome!

Gameloft presented a new version of their popular game N.O.V.A. To control this game you can slide the D-Pad up and down the screen or move the controls around. The game will also feature multi-touch gestures like sliding two fingers across the screen to throw a grenade. This will be a huge success for Gameloft.

We received an urgent update from Firemint saying “we are already building our next generation of games for higher definition, more powerful devices than are available today. We imagine what the devices of tomorrow will be capable of, and invest in bringing our games to the next generation of hardware, like the iPad!” Firemint confirmed that Flight Control will be available for iPad on release.

Today, SGN also confirmed on Twitter that they would be modifying their games like F.A.S.T and Skies of Glory for the iPad.
