With over 275,000 apps and games specifically designed for the iPad finding the right one can be daunting. Even with Apple's design, it can be hard to find the best of the best, the cream of the crop, the bees' knees, add your own cliche here. So I've come up with a list of the best games for the upcoming iPad mini, in no particular order, they're just awesome. Let's go!
World of Goo
World of Goo is a puzzle game in which you connect drops of goo to build a bridge reach toward the goal. This physics based game originated on the PC and Wii where they became massive hits. It is no less of a hit on the iPad as it make the list for the best games.
Bejeweled Blitz
If you've never played Bejeweled on the PC or Facebook before, you're in for a treat. This match 3 game is the most popular of it's kind. Made by casual gaming giant, Popcap games, this free version has one simple goal: make as many matches as you can in one minute. You can use your virtual money to buy power-ups to rack up those points. Share your high score with your friends on Facebook and see if you can get the high score for the week.
N.O.V.A. 3
The best first person shooter on the iPad mini has to be N.O.V.A. 3. With intense acions, beautiful graphics, tight controls, and great multiplayer with voice chat you can't go wrong if you like first-person shooters. These types of game are difficult to play on larger tablet because your fingers can't reach all the controls, but the iPad mini is the perfect size for this type of game.
Let's Golf 3
Who doesn't like a classic arcade-style golf game? This game has tons of courses to play, quirky characters, and lot's of upgrades and gear. You can unlock four different game modes. Play against up to 3 of your friends online with online multiplayer. If you don't feel like shooting a full round, then you can also play some mini games. The graphics are gorgeous and the controls are simple. This is definitely worth a spot in this list.
This game is designed to be a social game bringing you together with friends and family, hence "Party" in the title. The game goes like this: draw a picture of the word on the iPad mini and it displays on your TV, your team tries to guess the word, once the word is guessed the iPad mini is passed to the next team member, 2 teams of up to 8 people compete to be the first to score 8 points. You will need an Apple TV to connect it to your television. Passing the iPad mini will be a breeze thanks to its smaller size. If you like Draw Something, you will love this game. Disclaimer: REQUIRES APPLE TV
Infinity Blade 2
The original Infinity Blade was a groundbreaking game in the graphics department. It was rather short and very repetitive. Infinity Blade 2 is just a better version with a more in-depth story. Gameplay is virtually the same. It's definitely worth a look.
Angry Birds HD
This list wouldn't be complete without the most popular and possibly the most addicting game on iOS, Angry Birds. When I sold cell phones, I would just have to say, "You can play angry birds" and I would close the sale. This game has hundreds of levels to complete and more are added every year.
Cut The Rope HD
This is one of the more popular games recently. It has great physics puzzles and a cute little reptile. The premise is simple, the puzzles are not: just cut the ropes in a specific order with the correct timing and feed your pet the candy. Tons of fun to be had with this title and they keep adding more.
Where's My Water
Another puzzle game that will have you playing for hours. This is probably my favorite puzzle game on a mobile device. Dig tunnels in the dirt to funnel the water to the drain so the gator can have a nice shower. Collect the ducks and treasures along the way to rack up the points and beat your friends.
And that's my list for the must have games on the new iPad mini. I hope you enjoy my recommendations and feel free to let me know what your favorite games are! Send me your comments or post on my wall on Facebook.
