Five Best Games For The New iPad's Retina Display

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

Flight Control Rocket

Price: $0.99 - Download from iTunes
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Developer: Firemint
Size: 31MB

Flight Control Rocket is the follow-up to Firemint's original Flight Control game that has graced a number of different platforms, including the PlayStation 3. After the success of the first game, it was only a matter of time before a sequel arrived. Flight Control Rocket not only improves upon the already solid formula, but adds some of the most vibrant and colorful visuals available on the new iPad, as well as a new Sci-Fi theme. The new ships add a layer of strategy, while still remaining fun as hell. There is one caveat: The game constantly asks you to purchase coins, freemium-style. But the game isn't free, it's $0.99, so it's a bummer to be bombarded with microtransactions. However, when comparing Flight Control Rocket to the rest of the games on our list, $0.99 is a steal—and enough to have you not mind those pesky microtransactions as much. Hopefully, EA smartens up and creates a more expensive version (can you believe I'm wanting a costlier version?) that does away with the microtransactions.

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.
