INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
No-one predicted the meteoric rise of gaming on iOS, and we're not sure anyone knew what the iPad was for at all when it first
appeared.However, Apple's tablet has become a very able gaming platform
With more screen space than the iPhone, games have the means to be more immersive
The iPad's therefore a perfect platform for adventure games, strategy titles and puzzlers.Not sure which iPad is best We've got them listed
on our best iPad ranking - or you can check out the best tablets list to see the full range available now.But, just like the iPhone, there
are so many iPad games that it's tough to unearth the gems and avoid the dross
That's our mission here - to bring you the very best iPad games, mixing traditional fare with titles that could only have appeared on a
capable and modern multi-touch device.New: Sid Meier’s Civilization VI (free + $59.99/£54.99/AU$89.99 IAP)Sid Meier’s Civilization VI
properly showcases the iPad’s potential as a gaming device
Previous takes on Civilization for iPad have been weirdly cartoonish and simplified
Not Civilization VI – this is the game you get on PC, with all its inherent depth and complexity.This means you get one of the finest 4X
(eXplore; eXpand; eXploit; eXterminate) games around
You aim to make your civilization dominant by becoming a trading giant, heading to the stars, or getting all stabby/shooty until no-one else
is left standing.The game demands time and attention, is hugely rewarding, and should keep you going for months
Just as well, given its price tag
Still, you get 60 moves for free, and ‘proper’ games cost real money.Bar some slightly blurry visuals on iPad Pro, this is the real deal
– one of the best games in existence, carefully optimized for the touchscreen.Watch the video below for our 48hr review of the new iPad
