How are you planning on spending this Thanksgiving? Also, what are you grateful for? What should we all be grateful for? Share your answers and anything else that is on your mind with us.If you have an iPad,you will spend this thanksgiving happy.Follow me,you will get five fun ipad games.
1. Civilization Revolution
The latest instalment of the long-running and popular Civilization series is a disappointment on all handhelds. This isn't because of the simplified overhead maps, but the lack of scale and the tiny viewing area. But on the iPad, simply being able to see more of your world would make the game ten times better. (Although, truth be told, we'd sooner see Civilization II, III or IV come to the iPad.)
2. Monopoly
The iPad has the potential to revolutionise board games. No more fiddly pieces, setting things up, and yelling as your dog's wagging tail demolishes everything. On the iPhone, the screen is too small to comfortably play the likes of Monopoly, but the iPad's 10 or so inches should be enough.
3. Flight Control
Firemint was tight-lipped when we asked how Flight Control, its line-drawing masterpiece, will be reworked for the iPad, only noting it'll do "more than just upsize the graphics". Bigger maps are a possibility, but what we'd really like to see is a split-screen simultaneous two-player mode.
4. GeoDefense
The vector-based tower defence game GeoDefense would look marvellous on the iPad's bigger screen, but the increase in resolution would also enable bigger maps and precision placement of units. Other tower defence games would also benefit, especially those that require map-scrolling on the iPhone.
5. Red Conquest
Like Civilization, real-time strategy games will profit from having a resolution closer to that of a laptop than a mobile phone. In the case of designed-for-iPhone Red Conquest, this means rapid access to more of the map, but ports from the PC such as Command & Conquer will benefit even more.
