The video you see here was in my inbox this morning and I really liked what what I saw. IUGO, a long time player in the mobile entertainment arena, is in the process of releasing four new games for the iPad platform.
What made these games stand out for me was how well they leveraged the iPad hardware realities for both cooperative and competitive game play. Several of these games highlight multi-handed multi-player interaction on the same device. That’s a feature that’s specific to the iPad. The iPhone’s size doesn’t allow that kind of two player interaction, except through online game play with virtual opponents. What IUGO’s games are doing is expanding play from an iPhone-style one user at a time paradigm into a two-users-at-once iPad experience.

We took [some of our older titles] and added some cool user features — things you could not do on the iPhone. Along with updating the graphics for the iPad we were able to create these game playing modes that really lent itself to that device. The advantage here is that you can have two people playing on one device. It’s a great opportunity to exploit the iPad’s features."
