Current Trends (Apple iPad 3)



The new 3rd generation iPad is well known for it's amazing retina display which is even better than the current iPhone 4S, no other electronic portable devise contain the same number of pixels in one screen as does the iPad 3.
This means that it has a really high resolution screen which is even better than any current 1920x1080p HDTV. This of course will spark a lot of interest to new and current game developers to step they're game up in terms of gaming graphics.


The top 3 games on the latest iPad right now I believe are, not in any particular order:
  • Grand Theft Auto 3 - Its a 10 year anniversary game and released to the iOS market by Rock-star games. The graphics are amazing as they've been optimized for retina display and the damage to the vehicles looks very realistic. It's an action packed games with loads of missions and free roaming too. 

  • Modern Combat 3 - Although this has been in the app store for a while this game has also been optimized for the  2048x1536 graphics. Its created by Game-loft and it's a fps just like the Call of Duty franchise or Battlefield. Its has console level graphics and the apple A5x processor inside of the iPad 3 handles it well.


  • Infinity Blade II - It's a games that's proved to be a popular release and Epic-games's second installment was released not more than two months ago. It's also been optimized for the full retina display and it is a joy to play. 

The iPad 3 is bringing small portable games into the mainstream industry and now the apple iOS games compete with the PlayStation and the XBOX platforms. The only difference is the pricing in games, for example you could get Infinity Blade for £6.99 where as on PlayStation console the games start from £49.99.
