Three games for iPad

I recently played three games for iPad. Each of them was unique in its own way and worth sharing.

Out There - This is a space exploration/resource management game. It's fun but really hard. The art is done in the style of a comic book. This game is made by Mi Clos Studio.

Year Walk - This game, by Simogo, is based on Swedish folklore. The art is beautiful and the interface is well designed for the iPad. It makes great use of parallax. I haven't gotten all the way through this one yet. It's very atmospheric, but so far the game play is a little slow and confusing.

Device6 - This is another game by Simogo. It is a contemporary take on a text based game. The graphic design and sound design are very well done. Like Year Walk, makes great use of the iPad's technical capabilities.

Even if you aren't that into games, I recommend checking these out for their interaction design qualities. The two by Simogo in particular are really experimenting with what is possible as far as using the iPad as a gaming and story-telling device.
