Too bad the games look like absolute GARBAGE. I'd be impressed if the machine was released 4 or 5 years ago, but it's 2010. The new Sony handheld, and probably the nintendo one as well, will undoubtedly put the ipad to shame from a technical standpoint. The Ipad wont beable to compete as a gaming platform, as it is something that will continuously be upgrading. A game for the ipad released in a year may not even be playable on the models out now.

Looks somewhat good, but the gameplay is **** in 85% of those titles.

I see that all the Apple fans has moved on from the Phone Gaming Forum to SW.

I fully recognise the IPhone and IPad as devices that you play games on but they have two issues with me.

1: The controls. Without any buttons on the thing the games available for it is really limited.

2: The library. The IPhone has a huge library but the quality games are really few and most of them can't even compare to DS games.

[QUOTE="RetroBoy17"][QUOTE="karasill"]Yeah the iPhone/iTouch do have some pretty good games. However, since they are not dedicated gaming machines the experience is not as good as it should be (yes I'm taking a stab at the controls). I'd take the DS or PSP over iPhone gaming anyday. Also, it's pretty sad that they don't have Flash support (I might have bought the iPad if it did) to open them up to so many more free games online... Wait a minute.... I said free... Apple doesn't like free....Birdy09

[QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="treedoor"]

No one disagrees that the iPhone has games just like no one disagrees you can find free flash games on websites like Newgrounds and such.

And yes, I am hinting at something here.

That's not what I'm arguing.

The point is is that without buttons you've already put a huge limitation on the potential of how good certain games can be on the iPhone.

And did you find those flash games that play and look like the three games I listed? Or are you going to dodge that one?

words with friends is so addictive. i know its just scrabble but the multiplayer aspect is great. nearly all my friends play it and i've always got 5-10 games on the go. Jetjetjim if anyone wants a game

[QUOTE="locopatho"]Possibly a 56k warning required :P But yeah totally agreed, don't see why people have such an issue admitting this...treedoor

Sure, find me a free flash game that plays and looks like Grand Theft Auto Chinatown, Assassins Creed and Brothers in Arms. Good luck!

Forgot to mention that GTA Chinatown Wars scored higher on iPhone than on the DS, and cost a whole 20 dollars less to buy. The same goes for a lot of DS ports. Having people download games in an online app store cuts the need for the middleman retail system, making games that much cheaper.

and yes, the majority of these games you can play multiplayer online via WiFi, local bluetooth, or wireless 3G coverage if you have the iPhone.

As you've noticed, some of your dear DS and PSP games are in there, and some exclusives and multiplats from EA, Activision, Capcom, Rockstar, Sega, THQ, and Square-Enix as well.

There are three MMORPG's that are already in its library including Graal Online, Pocket Legends Online and some admittedly obscure title. Dunno if MMO's are common on a mobile gaming device, but they're there on the iPhone.

Apple's iPad seeks to bring the same formula on a much bigger screen with much higher resolution. It's essentially the first 10 inch screen mobile gaming device. I wouldn't count on writing Apple off in the videogame industry just yet.

The majority of these games you can play multiplayer online via WiFi, local bluetooth, or wireless 3G coverage if you have the iPhone. Within the next two weeks, Apple is kick starting its much anticipated 'Xbox-Live' style Game Center, to unify the multiplayer aspect of all these games so devs don't have to code their own multiplayer systems.

As you've noticed, some of your dear DS and PSP games are in there, and some exclusives and multiplats from EA, Activision, Capcom, Rockstar, Sega, THQ, and Square-Enix as well, and at a fraction of their cost due to the fact that all games are downloaded through WiFi, effectively cutting retail distribution costs.

Apple's iPad seeks to bring the same formula on a much bigger screen with much higher resolution and quadruple the horsepower. It's essentially the first 10 inch screen mobile gaming device that also happens to be a computer. I wouldn't count on writing Apple off in the videogame industry just yet.
