    Foosball if you like labarynth.

    I like dominion HD, blood and honor, might and card and small world for board game style games.

    Pocket legends is a good fun mmorpg and it is free till level 13.

    Mirrors edge and Sam and Max are really great and feel as though they could be on xbox live arcade. Sam and Max season 2 is already on XBLA and mirrors edge really captures feel of shadow complex mixed with the gameplay of a much better chop chop runner.

    Carcassonne may be an iPhone app, but it doubles quite well and will come out as universal soon (so you won't be wasting your money).
    Small World - Great two player board game for the pad.
    Battle for Wesnoth HD - endless turn based strategy fun
    Labyrinth 2 HD - Near infinite levels of fun

    Blokus HD has caught my interest (as I like the board game), but I need to try it out before I'd be willing to recommend it.

    I still cannot recommend Civ Rev, as they basically pushed it out with bugs and haven't done anything to improve it since then. I don't have much faith in them using it for anything more than a money grab.

    The OP seems to be looking for more casual games. For me, however, by far the best game I've played on the iPad is The War of Eustrath. I've put in over 12 hours into it and am nowhere near the end.

    Galcon Fusion has been draining away my free time lately. Great strategy game. :) I also recommend Space Station Frontier and Battle for Wesnoth.

    Plants vs. Zombies HD. I think it is the sort of casual game that you would like, but it is one of the best regardless of what type of games you like. Well over 90% 5* ratings in the app store.

    I suggest meteor blitz hd over geometry wars.

    I think the controls are better and the game play is more immediate go shoot stuff.

    Marble Mixer has my vote, 100%.

    Three game styles run the gamut from turn-by-turn strategic play, or full-on frenzied free-for-alls.

    Looks great / Plays great.

    Also, don't forget that as appealing as HD games are on the iPad, most non-HD games look and play very nicely on the iPad -- in many cases there isn't a compelling reason to pay the premium for an HD version. If you're talking about a racing game or some other highly 'visual' game, then sure - get the HD version if you can afford it. But if you are looking at casual games, iPhone versions typically do the job very well.

    give angry birds a try. i saved $4 and bought the iphone version (150 levels is plenty for me!) and it looks great in 2X. Other iphone games that look great on ipad and might fit in with labyrinth and flight control: enigmo; fragger; the package. All are physics based puzzles that will only cost you a buck (and may have lite versions)

    I have to admit I"m an avid fan of Worms HD :)

    Unfortunately, a lot of my friends don't quite get it.. They're retarded, I'm afraid.
