30 Must Have Games for the iPhone and iPod touch. That garnered your attention and plenty of comments, so we’re happy to present its natural sequel, 15 Must Have Games for the iPad.
As with the first feature, let us underscore that we do not consider this to be a list of the best games for the iPad, or superlative games in any specific category. Instead, this is a collection of games vetted by The Loop as being fun to play and standouts for one reason or another. So please don’t take umbrage if you don’t see your favorite game listed. But by all means use the comment section below to share with other readers your thoughts on this list and any other iPad games you think are excellent.
Flight Control HD
Firemint wasted no time, hitting launch day for the iPad with a release of Flight Control HD, an updated version of its eminently popular iPhone air traffic control game. You rack up points by safely landing a variety of airplanes and helicopters onto their runways and landing pads. If any of them collide, the game is over. Firemint did more than just scale up the graphics to work on the iPad, however – Flight Control HD also adds new maps and a fun, quirky “3D” mode that provides the illusion of depth if you wear a pair of red/blue “anaglyph” glasses (not included, of course, but available in online, novelty shops and elsewhere).
Warpgate HD
Freeverse had been working on its ambitious action/RPG game Warpgate initially as an iPhone game, but the iPad caused them to pause the iPhone version and rework it initially as an iPad release. Envisioned as a touch-based variant on Elite or as a latter-day Escape Velocity for you Mac game enthusiasts, Warpgate puts you in the pilot’s chair of an interstellar spacecraft as you seek your fortune. You can deliver cargo, become a pirate, participate in missions that move a storyline along and more. The game’s graphics are exquisite, its scale is immense – three dozen star systems, each chock-full of planets and space stations to interact with, tons of different starships to control and lots more.
The the new updated version of the free Daily DiggiPad app just came out, and gives this app new life.
In a completely new layout, Daily Digg’s app really stands out. It delivers all of your favorite digged news articles, and displays them in a friendly newspaper-like format. For those of who you don’t like how the actually website looks, this app will be sure to be easy on your eyes.
You can flip through the pages of this virtual newspaper by choosing different sections at the bottom. Also, as opposed to the website – which devotes a lot of space to the amount of diggs and comments – this app is focused more on the headlines and first few lines of the articles. It also mentions how many diggs, but in smaller font in order to emphasize what the story is about and not waste valuable real estate on the iPad screen.

Popular Mechanics has launched the first peek at how its magazine will look on the iPad, available for purchase through Apple’s app store for $1.99. The edition, which is not a full issue but, rather, a “showcase,” has special enhanced features not available in print, such embedded video, a 3D look at building plans, an interactive earthquake tracker, an animated demon accompanying a piece on building a tool-charging station, and an animated illustration of an extreme free fall without a parachute to go along with a story in the magazine titled “The Man in the Black Flying Suit.”

One of my family members and also one of my best friends are suffering from Parkinson’s disease. It’s sad. The disease has robbed them of so many abilities that we all perform daily without even thinking about it.
My friend, who is one of the kindest and smartest people I know, is also a brilliant engineer, scientist and accomplished author. The last several years have caused a marked decline in his ability to easily perform the activities we all take for granted. Even eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast was nearly an impossible task for him … at least until a few weeks ago, when he had a deep brain stimulator (DBS) placed. The results are nothing less than miraculous!
Last week I saw him for the first time since the placement of his DBS, and I was utterly amazed! His tremors were gone! He still had some residual “stiffness” in his leg, and his fine motor skills were not perfect, but it was an astounding difference.
After we had a chance to chat, the very next thing he did was pull out his iPad! Yes, my friend is back. Previously, he was unable to even talk on the phone without the use of a headset because of his trembling hands. Of course this made the use of a computer with keyboard and mouse essentially impossible. Although he has lost some of his fine motor skills, even with the use of the DBS, and has lost his previous ability for high-speed typing, he certainly was able to rapidly move around his iPad without difficulty! Wow!
