Need for Speed Shift is one of those games that’s easy to get addicted to, especially if you start playing it on a console like the Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3. However, the downside to enjoying a game so much is that it builds ridiculously high expectations for the game to live up to. Suppose Electronic Arts decides to make a version for the iPad, how much of a letdown would it be if the graphics and the gameplay were significantly altered and you end up playing with boxed cars racing in straight line race tracks? Fortunately, none of that happened when EA did release an iPad version of Shift, and contrary to our fears, the game has certainly exceeded our expectations.
Among the new features you’ll find in the iPad version include eight new cars, a couple of additional tracks, and even a more personable style of play that, we’re not ashamed to say, is borderline addicting.
Just the way we like it.

Firemint hit a goldmine with the Real Racing game for the iPhone, and fresh off its success, the developers have decided to develop a separate game solely for the iPad. And so, Real Racing HD was born.
With the success of the first Real Racing game for the iPhone, it only felt right that an iPad version would follow suit. After all, despite the overwhelmingly positive reception for the iPhone game, it had one very important factor going against it: the small screen of the iPhone made it a nightmare to control for those with enormous fingers.
Taking all those things into account, Firemint released an iPad version of the hit racing game to quell all those worries aside. What you have is a game that takes all the elements of Real Racing and moves it to a larger screen, making the graphics so much better in the process, and the gameplay much more playable for those who couldn’t enjoy the iPhone version.
