    Any recommendations for open world racing/flying games? Something like GTA or Flight Unlimited.

    I'm looking for a 2D MMORPG. If no such thing exists, what is the best 3D MMORPG?

    There are so many iPhone-only games that I wish I had grabbed the HD version of now. Incoboto, Eufloria, all the Square Enix titles, etc. Most games are just a completely different experience on the iPad.

    Baldur's Gate! Galaxy on fire 2! Heroes of Order and Chaos is pretty good too.

    Yeah, I'm starting to realize that, too.

    Any thoughts on Eufloria? Crex pointed it out to me but the TA review didn't sell me at all.

    While I'm at it, I played the first few minutes of Incoboto...I like the feel but I'm not completely immersed, the way I was with, say, The Room or Bastion. Should I just dive right in and trust its going to be good?

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks. It's quiet in here, thought I'd pick your brain.


    I got BG, and felt it was clunky and unimpressive. I remember playing ack in the day...I wish it would have been made more contemporarily. I'll probably dust it off when I'm finished with some titles that grabbed me and pulled me in more.

    I've got GoF for the smaller screen. Not looking to replace any SD with HD quite yet, but its on my list when that time comes. Thanks!

    Both offer a good Pokemon experince but both are rather buggy at times but they are good choices if waiting for micromon

    Don't know any 2d ones but if you have an iPhone 4 or any device running an A5 chip then ravensword 2 is the best RPG there

    It's not "open world" in the same sense as those games, but you might want to check into Air Mail if you haven't already.

    Elgard. It's actually pretty good. There's a TA user guild for it as well.

    Best RTS on the iPad. Definitely get it if you like strategy games.

    Yep, but I think Red Conquest is the best RTS on the iPhone.

    It's a really good RTS, in some ways one of the best on the platform. The lack of a mini map and a somewhat unpolished presentation are some of the weak points for me. Definitely a must-have, though, for any RTS fan gaming on iOS.
