The original > poster probably doesn't have an ipad, but I do. > The two broken swords, Hector Bade of Carnage, Everything from Telltale (Tales of Monkey Island, one Sam and Max Ep, Puzzle Agent) if you have an iPad2 since the TTG engine seems to be heavy on the 3d part, Sword and Sworcery, Dracula 1+2+3, Last King of Africa, 1112 EP1 and EP2, Return to Mysterious Island, The Monkey Islands Special Edition, Seventh Guest, Clandestiny, Scarlett, Beneath a Steel Sky, Hamlet and if you are into text adventures, there is an absolutely awesome Frotz port and several Choose your own adventure titles released. Sword and Sworcery is more along the lines of a relatively slow action adventure but nevertheless absolutely awesome and the Choose your own Adventure ports are more on the RPG side but nevertheless they deserve to be listed here. Outside of that there are several Japo like interactive Stories one from EA but I forgot its name, which is a CSI like detective series with monthly releases. Thats pretty much what I have discovered until now. If you are into hidden object games, you can get them by the ton, they seem to be released pretty much on a weekly basis (probably because they are easy to produce and sell). Since I hate those kind of games, I dont have a good overview. Also there is more puzzle games than I listed before (seventh guest and clandestiny)
