Five Best Games For The New iPad's Retina Display

Posted on Wednesday, March 21 @ 13:30:27 Eastern by


 

Real Racing 2 HD


Price: $7.49 - Download from iTunes
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Developer: Firemint
Size: 444MB


Real Racing 2 HD is one the nicest-looking racers you can find anywhere. It may not be as jam-packed or as realistic as Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport, but it's not all that far off, which is amazing considering that this is a mobile game. Steering works by tilting the iPad left or right, while tilting away gives it the gas, and pulling toward yourself hits the brakes. There's a full-fledged career mode with 120 races, and the game boasts 30 licensed cars. It was beautiful before, but the game has been updated to take advantage of the new iPad's 2048x1536 resolution with 4x anti-aliasing. If you've got the new iPad, definitely take this one for a spin.

    Haha, I said that same thing over and over again... until I bought one. Now, I love the thing. But the comment below is right. That's something I'm always fighting against, and it's usually a losing battle ie: I succumb and buy whatever the latest, shiniest new thing is.

    I can attest to Infinity Blade 2 and Real Racing 2 HD being great games.

    Haha, copy and paste error!
    Your video for Real Racing 2 HD is just the video for Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation again... either that or that's the most violent racing game I've ever seen! ...with the least racing.

    We just released our RETINA update of Optimum Air Hockey HD. Quite a lot of work, but four times the resolution is worth it.
