Anyone with an iPad playing any games they'd recommend?

I'm lookin for some to. Any suggestions appreciated

So, on a whim I picked up Sound Shapes (well, a whim and a bevy of positive feedback about it), and it's pretty great. Relaxing in a lot of ways with great music, and the design is wonderful.

On the 360 side of things, I am about to give up on Deadlight in the 3rd part. It's just not fun now. I forgave a lot of the shit it did before but now it just blatantly gives me no idea what to do, and constantly spawns zombies despite having a clunky combat system.

Finally, I have fallen into my Steam rabbit hole lately. All these games I've purchased, I'm FINALLY getting into them. Most notably are: Cave Story+ (Beat it, AMAZING, going for the "Great" ending), Doom 3 (with the duct tape mod I am enjoying it much more), Lone Survivor (just started, but it's very interesting) and Gemini Rue (Adventure game, really liking it so far).

Steam is the best.

So, in your moron of the day news, I literally just paid for Gamefly for a full calender year (July to July) without receiving a game.

I had it and my PS3 broke, so I was without games for about a month. No biggie, but I pretty much threw my gamefly stuff on a shelf and forgot about it. Got my new system, started playing NCAA and a few other games for a bit, got busy ect ect. Still intended to play the games I had so I didn't want to send them back.

Go to play the games after a few months (already stupid), find out I broke the game at some point (snapped in half). Meant to call Gamefly ect, but again, got caught up. Forgot about it again for a bit yada yada yada finally called them yesterday, told them I shipped the game a year ago and never got a new one. Two games are in the mail.

That's cool. I really wanted to pay $300 bucks for Tom Clancy HAWX 2 (lulz)

And that is one of the many reasons I quit GF long ago. I would still buy games and the rented ones would sit on my table for weeks at a time. It's much easier and more cost efficient to just buy the games you want when they are on sale.

Switching off between Lost Odyssey and The Witcher 2 is more difficult than I anticipated. TOO MUCH MYTHOLOGY.

I just started GF back up but I think it's worth it only if you like renting older games as well and if you actually play them and beat them in like 2 weeks.

I am seriously about to fucking beat someone to death with my controller and shove Syndicate straight up their ass. This final boss fight is a bunch of bullshit.

Please, please, please record that and make your own rage quit video.

Too late. Already beat it. The fucked up thing is it wasn't really that hard, you just have to grind this bastard down, and then somehow he gets the most bullshit shots off and kills you.

I'd like to do the same to CheapyD and Shipwreck from CAG. Their Apple fanboyism drives me up a fucking wall.

Just beat the first world (or whatever you call it) in Rayman Origins. That game is addictive as hell.

Fuck the Madden demo...it's time for some Sleeping Dogs.
