It's pretty cool that you can play it through a big screen tv with an HDMI cable, using the iPad to steer and display the course map. The Wii U Experience today! ;)
Don't even know who sells an apple to HDMI cable, but I bet it's amazing like that.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

I just picked up an apple tv last week and with ios5 I wil be able to connect and play wirelessly to my tv. WiiU is a year behind tech that apple has today.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

This is getting OT, but the streaming for the WiiU is the other way (console to tablet/controller), isn't it?

Granted airplay does that for video from a computer, but that's only for video, I'm not aware of anything that allows you to wirelessly stream a game to your ipad and allow it to be your controller. Not that it matters.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

This is what I'm talking about.

Not exactly the same as the Wii U but very similar.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

Meteor Blitz went free today. Seems like a decent dual stick shooter from my 60 seconds trial.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

Almost all of the EA iphone and ipad games are on sale this weekend for $1. I highly recomend NBA Jam on the ipad. I paid $5, and it is easily worth $10 IMO. It controls really well and is one of the only games with a virtual stick that I think works well. Sadly, RB on ipad is not on sale.

Gameloft has 6 ipad games on sale for $1 including DH2.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

Nice, I've been waiting for iPad Scrabble to drop to 99 cents. Wow, you are right about everything. I guess I'll pick up Dead Space, Monopoly, Tiger Woods Golf...

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

I just got my iPad 2 weeks ago and have held off on NBA Jam for $5. Bought it so fast today for 99 cents :D.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

Did anyone ever give that 7 Little Words game a shot? II bought one of the extra sets of puzzles, after finishing the initial 30, and it's kicking my ass. :lol:

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

It is a freaking steal @ $1. It looks really nice and the way they implemented turbo shoving/shooting is really good.

Edit to add: If you enter DEM, REP or MAS on the quick play, you can unlock democrats, republicans and mascots teams. The developers choose some great pictures for the pols.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

Really great game and makes you think. Some of the words are hard and some are easy. My strategy is probably same as others. Solve easy ones first or ones you know. Then work on the ones you don't. I sometimes try combinations that look like words and often that will find a match.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

Same here, it just seems like the pack I bought (Lemonade) is a whole lot more difficult than Sunrise. I breezed through Sunrise, but seem to be working at a snails pace on Lemonade. Most of the words are in the 6-9 range.

No regrets on the purchase though. It's a great little game that really gets your brain working.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

I haven't tackled that one yet. I'm about halfway through the Chocolate puzzle pack.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

I'm into N.O.V.A. 2 on my iPad. It has Gyroscopic viewing so if you sit on a swiveling chair and spin around you can target your enemies. It really is an effective control method once you get used to it. 99 cents right now.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

Picked up Dead Space, NBA, Tiger and Madden.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

Picked up NBA Jam. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

If you're enjoying it, you can buy the Unlock All package at the in-game store for 99 cents as well (it's on sale, usually a lot more).

Great time to own a new iPad 2. I've been buying these 99 cent games like a drunken sailor. Might splurge on the $1.99 CoD Zombies HD as well.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

Picked up NBA Jam, Monopoly, Battleship and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for $0.99 each.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

I had trouble getting into the NBA Jam store this weekend, but was able to get the Everything Pack for 99c just now.

Ended up getting 9 games (so far): NBA Jam, Tiger Woods 2012, Scrabble, Monopoly, Life, Asphalt 6 (nice Burnout clone), Dead Space, NOVA 2, and Pictureka. Passed on Battleship and Dungeon Hunter 2 for now. It's incredible how polished these games are for the price , pretty much PSP quality, maybe better for a fraction of the price.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

Anyone not playing Ascension is missing out. They just released a light version that lets you play against the AI so you can sample it. Best 5$ I have spent on an iOS game so far.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

You should pick up Dungeon Hunter 2 while it's 99 cents. It's a very polished dungeon crawler.

Did you like TW 12? I was pretty excited to pick it up, but the customer reviews were so brutal that it convinced me to pass.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

I think Tiger Woods is excellent so far, I've only played a couple games, but the graphics and gameplay are top notch. For 99c, I see no downside.

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

Picked up tonight before sale ends:
Monopoly
Asphalt 6: Adrenaline
Dungeon Hunter 2
Flight Control HD
Atomic Web Browser

Picked up Friday:
NBA Jam
Tetris
Tiger Woods 12

Picked up since I got my iPad 2 a few weeks ago for my birthday:
UNO
Air Attack HD
Video Time Machine
Spider-Man
Ultimate MK3
Real Soccer 11
Madden 2011
Baseball Superstars 10
Gangstar: MV
Chess

Re: iPhone/iPod Touch App Talk
 

I'd completely forgotten about this thing, until I got home last night to find that my wife had ordered it and assembled it for me. It was ready to go when I walked in the door.

It is a solid piece of work. So far the only real app that works well with it is the 100 Atari Greatest Hits app ($15), but I can see the potential. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

As cool as the cabinet is, I have zero interest in playing 30 year old video games.
