Popcap is without a doubt one of the few developers that has repeatedly proved it ‘gets’ the AppStore every single title they’ve released for the iPhone has been brilliantly put together and has sucked an embarrassing number of hours out of schedules. Verdict: Minigore itself is a great game and it’s clear that the developer has done the best it can to adapt the title to a new platform – but it’s still not a title we’d wholly recommend for new iPad owners. It’s just a bit too heavy and slippery to hold in one position for very long, meaning that the better you are at the game and the longer you survive then the harder the device is to hold and the less enjoyable the game becomes.Ĭertain modes are far better suited to casual play, such as Zombie Gore which eschews the thumbsticks for simple tap-to-move, but the game as a whole is still flawed. The enhanced visuals ensure the game looks great but, the problem is the design of the iPad itself. While the original game was quick to earn it’s place on our iPhones, the experience doesn’t hold up quite as well on the iPad unfortunately. There are a bunch of different characters to play with too, each with their own special abilities and look. There’s no endgame scenario, you just have to fend off escalating waves of baddies for as long as possible, collecting new weapons and power-ups when you can to turn the tide. Gameplay for both the original and HD variant is simply a matter of survival, with you using the virtual thumbsticks to move and shoot independently. It packs a wry sense of humour too, with cameos from some of our other favourite iPhone games, like Hook Champ and Envirobear. That doesn’t mean it’s a game to be sniffed at though, as Minigore is stuffed with both replay value and content thanks to regular updates from developer Mountain Sheep.

Regardless, there are plenty of iPad apps and games to try out, even at this early stage.Įasily one of the best looking dual-stick shooters available for the original iPhone and iPod Touch, Minigore HD is little more than the name suggests – a port of the original game with improved graphics. Some developers are providing universal apps that work on both iPhone and iPad, some have separate iPad versions. Both methods look rough, and to be honest, you're going to want native iPad apps.

To others, it's a simple, elegant way to get software which works flawlessly - you browse, you click, pay in an instant and the app appears, and it works.Īs the iPad runs the same OS and similar hardware to the iPhone, it can run almost all iPhone apps - either at native resolution, in which case, they appear marooned by black space in the middle of the iPad's much bigger screen - or you can use pixel-doubling to fill the display. This is hugely contentious for some, it means the iPad is a disastrously locked down device that represents a poisonous contempt for everything computing ought to be.

It's also ludicrously simple to get Apps onto the iPad, because it uses the same tightly controlled system the iPhone does - namely you can only install software by downloading it through the Apple AppStore, and Apple gets to say which Apps are distributed through the store (unless you jailbreak the device).

You swipe left and right through multiple screens of apps, and just touch the app you want to load. It uses the same type of capacitive touchscreen, and the multi-touch OS responds to the same gestures.
