Apple iPad game video clip samples

See brief gameplay videos of iPad games in action, including Geometry Wars Touch, Real Racing HD (cockpit and outside view), Azkend HD, N.O.V.A. (a FPS very much like Halo), Zen Bound 2 and the classic PAC-MAN.

One of the best game idea i´ve ever seen since Patapon very creative !
Now just imagine strategy-game on the Ipad :o

Fishy Fingers5884d ago

You can already get C&C Red Alert.

xTruthx5884d ago

lol the ipad is so overpriced

XxRoosterxX5884d ago

its really not overpriced.

It has more than twice the power of an itouch and a better & bigger screen.

I'd say it's priced just fine. I still can't afford one, but for those who can they're not getting gouged.

Bigpappy5884d ago

To much for a portable game system. I know it does more than gaming, but that is what I would use it for.

Those graphics are so good for a device that is not primarily a games console, like the DS and PSP.

Plus, most/all of the games on iPhone/iPad are under £5 (except might be bit more for iPad) and I play alot of the games more than I do most PSN games lol.
(Angry Birds is addictive!)

As for price, I think in terms of specs it is overpriced, but in terms of quality/stability/performance it isn't.

Just because it doesn't have high specs for the price doesn't mean it cant run as well as other computers (netbooks) if not better, as the entire device hardware + software is designed to work efficiently together.

There is still much room for improvement though, (surprisingly the battery is not one thing that needs improving! which would probably be no1 on most peoples list).

@XxRoosterxX

When companies introduced a new product to the market they always price is at almost twice at what its really worth.

beardpapa5883d ago

if you google around you find the majority of the ipad's cost lies in the ips screen they used. Why ips? better color and viewing angles.

XxRoosterxX5881d ago

Tell that to Sony when they introduced the PS3.

FPS games look better suited to the ipad than the iphone, your thumbs don't get in the way as much.

Hopefully they bring GeoWars to iPhone though, that would be kinda cool

ReBurn5884d ago (Edited 5884d ago )

Others agree with you.

This hasn't been approved because nobody believes it, but people are thinking it.

Faynob5884d ago

but i foresee a lot of dropped pads for that one. Sharp turn and slips right out. Will test your grip thats for sure

talltony5884d ago

It's cool as hell. It's cool cause it's just a thin big screen with motion conrols and great battery life. Wifi is also faster on the ipad than my 3gs iPhone. If you got some money to spend it can be a very fun gadget. IMO it's actually a cool games console and it's only going to get better with better games.

Mo0eY5884d ago

Honestly if you're looking for a true portable gaming platform, take your $500 and buy a PSP and a DS. You'll still have a a couple of hundred left over to buy some decent games for your systems.

I'll wait until Apple can at least slap on a damn USB port, front-facing camera, and multi-tasking.

Kyur4ThePain5884d ago

I don't think anyone looking for a "true portable gaming platform" is going to buy an iPad. IPad buyers have other priorities that they are looking to fulfill. The fact that it can be used for gaming is just a plus. Though, I will say that the screen size is pretty nifty for gaming.

beardpapa5883d ago

ipad's not meant for gaming but having games on it is a plus. I think it's just an added plus since the original ipods had 'games' too. It's just that the games have evolved to take advantage of the newer products today. It's nice though ... most of the games can be had for under $5 and some are free.

OhMyGandhi5884d ago

lol.
First of all, The racing game LOOKS neat, but looks annoying as hell to control, I mean, the guy is going OFF the course on STRAIGHT roads.

The shooter? LOOKS GOOD, but the very obvious delay in movement looks like a problem.

We all THINK we need an ipad, but I agree, I am not going to buy something for 500 bucks that is neither conventional nor portable enough to carry around.

Imagine swaying the damned thing around on a crowded bus or train, or plane.
I rather wait and use something that was INTENDED for creation, rather than make the consumer a passive means of manipulation.

I'm the kind of guy that doesn't care about putting videos on his PSP or Ipod touch because I know I'll never watch that video again, or load up on thousands of random pictures that I never bother to sort through or even view for that matter.
