For me, the best of the best is Greedy Bankers vs. Then of course Marble Mixer, Fruit Ninja HD, That's My Fish, and Carcassonne.
A hidden gem that is actually a forgotten classic is ORBITAL, you are your own worst enemy in this game so crappy ai won't ruin the enjoyment. They have a lite version for Iphone. Unfortunately it isn't universal but it is available in HD for ipad. (http://itunes.apple.com/app/orbital-hd/id364600320?mt=8) Another game that me and the wife have enjoyed is KING OF OPERA (http://itunes.apple.com/app/king-of-opera/id408697793?mt=8).
Agreeing with Ice Rage. That game is deceptively simple. Scoring goals is a huge cause for celebration, heh.
Best single device multiplayer iPad games? Tap tap Revenge with different songs, i think the best game for me.
Try Fumble! It's simple yet fun to play for all ages and it's on promo price now! You can get it from https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id533329847
I got one, a little bump game, Soctics. Strategic soccer, me and my friend play that all the time at breaks
I know a few good ones: - Wrestle Jump: physics based, you have one button which moves your wrestler's legs, and you're objective is to smash to other guy's head on the ground. It has a very nice quick pace and it's incredibly fun. - King of Opera: play as an opera singer and score points by stealing the spotlight from the other singers. Up to four players can play at once, which I find totally awesome. - Ready Steady Bang: a minimalistic approach at a western gun duel. Both players face each other and once BANG shows up on the screen whoever taps the screen first wins. Now, for a little shameless plug, our studio's first game also qualifies quite well The game is called Carmachia: High-Octane Gladiators of 2075, and you can check our announce trailer here. It's a fast-paced top-down car duel, think of Mario Kart's battle mode having a baby with Twisted Metal in the set of a Mad Max movie. And Micro Machines is that baby's uncle. We'll be releasing a new trailer later today and the game comes out in the AppStore tomorrow. EDIT: Actually we just had some last minute trouble with Apple, so the game will be slightely delayed
Gentlemen! by Lucky Frame, the creators of Wave Trip and Bad Hotel is coming July 16th. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Here's the description: Gentlemen! is a frantically paced two player Victorian-themed duelling game. Go head-to-head with your frenemy in 19th Century England, settling your grievances with knives, bombs, deadly homing pigeons, and more. You'll need to hone a delicate balance of technique, knowledge, cunning, and blind panic (just like a real duel!). You'll also need a friend - two players, one screen. If you don't have a friend, go and get one.
I've just released my first iPad exclusive game, which is a single device multiplayer game. Being someone who grew up playing computer games with my younger sister in the morning before school, I love games that let you play with another person in the same space. Anyway, if you want to give it a look you can find it here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/harvest-dash/id813339161 It's on sale for a dollar while it's a new release Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
