Well this will be a very shory thread then. Bard's tale is universal, and there are only a handful of exclusive ipad only games.

Only games I can think of are Bastion, Mutant Storm, and Band Together. That's it.

All are good games, too bad there aren't more ipad exclusive games.

oops, sorry... wrong thread

Although I fully agree that The Bard's Tale is an awesome game, it was release Nov of last year so I'm not sure why it was even mentioned in this thread.

My picks, so far it's a toss between Bastion and Horn. Everything else so far is gravy. Can't wait for more big releases soon. I know that some big devs are waiting for the iPhone 5 and the iPad Mini (vaporware?) to push the flow of the apps. I won't be surprised if the 2 apps I mentioned will be forgotten by the holiday season. But so far, these 2 are pushing the heights in iOS gaming.

I shall be stubborn and only list original iPad games

1.Autumn Dynasty
2. ...

...rofl.. I can't think of any other 2012 ipad exclusive games I like that aren't ports.

According to the developers, BG is the complete original game PLUS new areas, new characters, several features from BG2 incorporated, the same rule edition as BG2, zoom feature and some graphical enhancements.

I'm salivating just at the thought of playing this game...

The original game had hours and hours of unprecedented gameplay, and I don't think I'm gonna have time or nclination to play much else on my iPad once it's released...

Then it could be our GotY for the iPad, and definitely one of the best as long as bugs, if ever, are taken care of in updates.

Yeah.
And release date should be sometime this month.

Release date for Mac & PC is September 18, and they plan to submit the game to apple sometime before that in the hope that the iPad release will be released simultaneously, but you never know how long the approval process will take when it comes to the AppStore.

September looks to be the strongest month for iOS gaming.
