EA Announces 5 Top Titles for the iPad
Today, the day before the release of the highly anticipated platform, EA announced 5 new games coming to the iPad. From casual to hardcore every game should be able to take interest in at least one of these titles.
Electronic Arts, one of the giants of the video game industry, has taken a lot of interest in the new opportunities provided with the iPad. The new titles are Need For Speed SHIFT, TETRIS, SCRABBLE, Command & Conquer: Red Alert and the iPad exclusive, Mirror’s Edge. These new games are in addition to a ton of older iPhone games that can be played on the iPad.
“As one of the leading publishers on the App Store, EA is delivering five games today that take advantage of the unique capabilities of iPad for a broad range of gamers, from the casual to the hardcore, and today’s product slate is just the beginning,” said Travis Boatman, Vice President of Worldwide Studios, EA Mobile. “For example, with SCRABBLE, we have modernized this family favorite game by developing a fun, interactive ‘Party Play’ mode. For our more hardcore fans, Need for Speed SHIFT becomes the ultimate immersive driving experience. We are thrilled to offer EA games with the launch of iPad — a device that is like no other.”
Hopefully Need for Speed SHIFT has ironed out a few flaws since the debut of the iPad where they originally showed off the game. Back then it was quite blurry due to the larger screen, however EA has been putting quite a bit of time and resources into tailoring these games specifically for the iPad. It’s likely to have been polished off significantly in that time. EA’s games range from $7.99 to $14.99 in the marketplace.
