    Okay, I have finally bought myself an ipad! I got the new 32gb retina A6X one. I have done a few searches trying to find games that are EXCLUSIVE to iPad. I have tons of games on my iphone that I can now share with my ipad but I want to know peoples opinions on the BEST games that are out for ipad that are NOT available for my iphone! Something thats totally crazy as far as graphics. Arcade / RPG / Sports....whatever! I remember hearing and reading about the Baldur's Gate which hasnt come out but there has to be something I have unlocked by equiping myself with an ipad! What are the TA Best of the BEST??

    Baldur's gate was out but has been pulled.
    Off the top of my head:
    -Frozen Synapse
    -Kotor (Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic)
    -Hero of Many
    -Battle Academy

    For RPGs, the Spiderweb games: Avadon, and the two Avernums.
    Baldur's Gate, if/when it comes back.
    Spiral EP1.
    Crow, Lily: Don't know if they are iPad-only, though; but would guess so from the graphics and setup.

    If you like TD games try March on Oz and Go home dinosaurs..If you fancy RTS type of games try great battles medieval..If you're interested in deep board games check-out Eclipse:New Dawn for the galaxy..

    These games are iPad exclusive games I believe..

    Warhammer Quest

    Thanks all! Just bought March on Oz. Looks really good. Some of the others I actually have for my iphone 4S and I refuse to buy them AGAIN just to get their ipad version :(

    Pretty much all universal games (or games with separate iPhone and iPad versions) play better on the iPad than the iPhone/iPod, so recommending good titles from that side of things would take forever. As for iPad-only games, that depends on your tastes, but below are a few of the many good ones:

    Alien Frontiers
    Forbidden Island
    Ghost Stories
    Small World
    Eclipse
    Kingdom Builder
    Yggdrasil
    Ticket to Ride
    (the separate iPhone-native Ticket to Ride Pocket is a stripped-down, lower-quality version of the full-featured iPad game)
    Bang! HD
    Knights of the Old Republic
    Aquaria
    (a PC port that is far and away the best "Metroidvania" title currently available on iOS)

    I actually recommend march on Oz to those who are waiting for plants vs zombies 2..Im very skeptical about PvZ 2 since almost all the devs of the original game was kicked off the project,EA is publishing it and the F2P model..

    @ Appletini -The reason I say ipad EXCLUSIVE games is because I am a regular TA app user so I ALWAYS see all the releases for iphone (or universal). But since ive never owned an ipad, ive never paid attention to those "only available on ipad" titles :)

    In addition to the great titles already named, I'll throw these out there.

    Avadon: The Black Fortress
    Avernum: Escape from the Pit
    Avernum 6
    Battle of the Bulge
    Brogue
    Coastal Command
    Companions
    Gratuitous Space Battles
    Imperium Galactica 2
    Machinarium
    Mutant Storm
    Puerto Rico
    SpaceChem Mobile
    Vendetta Online

    I believe there are a bunch of other good strategy and board games that are iPad only but I can't think of any right now...

    Meh, I just copied and pasted the response I gave to the guy who created a similar thread asking for games for his iPad the day before you posted yours, hence the reference to universal games at the top.
