iPad Hands-On Gameplay Videos

UPDATE: January 29th, 2010

We've added two more hands-on iPad videos for Scrabble and Orbital, both of which played beautifully. We also added a compilation video with Assassin's Creed, Tetris, Sims 3, and Paper Toss: World Tour. Check it out!

We've got our first set of videos from yesterday's Apple Press Event, so you can see games like Need for Speed Shift, Super Monkey Ball 2, and NOVA played on the big screen. We also take you through a demo of the iPad's browsing, photo, and other non-game functions.

First up, NOVA. This is not the optimized version that was shown on stage, it's just a 2x bigger rendering of the exact same iPhone game you can buy now.

Next up, Super Monkey Ball 2. Although the device isn't as easy to tilt as an iPhone or iPod Touch, it seemed pretty responsive.

We also have Need for Speed Shift. Like NOVA, this was not the iPad-optimized version shown on stage with rear-view mirrors and a shifter.

And finally, a walkthrough of some of the iPad's other non-gaming features.

    That Books app looks buggy... hopefully they'll fix it!

      Actually, I think it may just be our video. I'v seen plenty of examples of it working flawlessly.

        The apps run fine, it's our video that's a bit jittery.

        OK, thanks for clarifying.
