From the Author: iPad 2 Fully Loaded Extras--Games
I don’t only read books or do business on the iPad, but once in a while, I like to spend a little time playing games.

Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasonable, Angry Birds Rio
This deceptively simple game and the spinoffs have cost me hours... maybe days of my life. The premise is simple, just shoot the birds using a slingshot at the “buildings” and knock out the pigs. Sounds simple, but it can be frustrating and really difficult to stop. No matter how crazy the appeal of this game might be, it’s still a whole lot of fun and every time a new version comes out, I immediately download them to my iPad.

Scrabble for iPad
I have talked about this app before, and it is one of the only apps that once it was on my iPad, it has never left. The scrabble game for the iPad is a really slick app that brings the look and feel of the traditional board game to the device. You can play with Facebook friends, on a local network or pass and play, which allows up to 4 people to play using the same iPad. The only downside to me is the music, which I turn down so that I can think more clearly. Doesn’t help that much since the computer still seems to have a better vocabulary that I do and wins most of the games I play.

Plants vs Zombies HD
I played this game on the iPhone and had a blast defending my home with plants from the seemingly endless stream of zombies. The iPad version is even better since you have a bigger screen. The premise is simple, plant a variety of plants that will destroy the zombies before they reach your house. You get to protect your front yard, then once you have the hang of that, it’s time to protect the back yard and roof. This game is as addictive as the Angry Birds and I hope to see a sequel soon.

Starfall
This is a space themed tower defense game and has great graphics, addictively easy game-play, and really has a good balance between too easy and too tough. All you have to do is place your towers in a way to defeat the incoming spaceships. As you progress through the game, you can spend your experience points on upgrades. So everybody’s experience with the game will be different depending on what you upgrade and when.

Infinity Blade
If you want a game to show off the capabilities of the iPad 2, then this is the one for you. It is just beuatifuly done with sharp grapphics and engaging gameplay. Thisis a fantasy role playing game that is quiet violent since you are swing a sword or other medievil weapon for most of the game play. This also one of the first games to use the desktop gaming Unreal engine on the iPAd and they did a great job. So if a little sword swinging sounds like a good time to you, then check this game out.

From the Author: iPad 2 Fully Loaded Extras—For Photographers
I love my iPad and iPad 2, but as a professional photographer, I really want to use the iPad in a productive way. There are two new apps that really take sorting and editing your images on the iPad to a new level: Photosmith and Filterstorm Pro.

Photosmith
Photosmith
The iPad has always been a big hit with photographers and this app will really please those of us who use Adobe Lightroom on our computers to sort out images. The idea behind this app is pretty simple, you can use Photosmith to review your images on the iPad, then add to custom collections, filter by selectable criteria, assign metadata and sort by that metadata. One more really impressive feature is the ability to see a full 1:1 zoom even of the biggest RAW files.

There are three views in the Photosmith App. The first one is the Grid View, which shows the thumbnails of your current images and the list of your collections. Just tap on the new collection button to create a new collection, then just drag and drop the thumbnails into the new collection. Photos can be tagged and have keywords added. Now when you sync the Photosmith app back to your computer, you can run the Photosmith Plugin and the collections from the iPad will be synced over.

The second view is the Loupe View, which allows you to rotate the image, auto advance, mark as reject, color label, rate with stars (1-5), view the EXIF data and edit any of the IPTC fields. When you are done editing, just swipe to the next photo.

The third view is the Full Screen View. This view allows you to use the screen to its maximum effect and makes the controls as small as possible. There are three little tag choices over on the right side. This allows you to mark the image as rejected, label it with Red, Yellow, Green, Blue or Purple and give it a 1-5 star rating. Then just swipe to see the next photo.

This app really is a great tool for photographers who use Adobe Lightroom and makes editing on the go a breeze.

Filterstorm Pro
Filterstorm
I have written about Filterstorm 2 in the iPad Fully Loaded book but now the same company has released Filterstorm Pro, which not only has a great set of editing tools, but also allows you to do batch image processing and can work with all the RAW file types supported by Apple. There are over 20 editing tools available in the Filterstorm Pro app.

Filterstorm Pro was written o work with both the original iPad and the iPad 2. There are some differences due to the increased memory and processing power of the iPad 2. The original iPad can export images up to ~7.5 Megapixels while the iPad 2 can export images up to ~22 Megapixels.

Since the Filterstorm app was designed for photojournalists it was important to make sure that the IPTC data could be added or edited. The following data can all be edited: Caption, Headline, Title (byline), Keywords, Instructions, Subject, Category, Supplemental Category, Caption Writer, Creator, Source, Provider, Image City, Image State, Image Country, Image Country Code, Copyright, Usage, Star Rating, JobID, Job Title, Contact Address, Contact City, Contact Postal Code, Contact Country, Contact E-mail, Contact Website, Contact Phone

作者的話:iPad 2完全加載的額外遊戲

我不僅僅在iPad上閱讀書籍或從事業務,偶爾我也喜歡花點時間玩遊戲。

愤怒的小鸟,愤怒的小鸟季节版,愤怒的小鸟里约版

這款看似簡單的遊戲及其衍生版本讓我花費了數小時...也許是數天的時間。遊戲的前提很簡單,只需使用彈弓將小鳥射向“建築物”並擊倒豬。聽起來很簡單,但這可能會令人沮喪,而且很難停下來。無論這款遊戲的吸引力有多瘋狂,它仍然非常有趣,每次推出新版本時,我都會立即在我的iPad上下載它們。

iPad上的Scrabble

我之前已經談過這個應用程序,它是我iPad上唯一一個永遠不會刪除的應用程序之一。iPad上的Scrabble遊戲是一個非常流暢的應用程序,將傳統棋盤遊戲的外觀和感覺帶到了設備上。您可以與Facebook的朋友一起玩,或者在本地網絡上玩,或者通過傳遞和玩讓最多4個人使用同一台iPad進行遊戲。對我來說唯一的缺點是音樂,我會把音量調低,以便更清晰地思考。這並沒有太大幫助,因為電腦似乎仍然比我詞匯量更豐富,贏得了我大部分的遊戲。

植物大戰殭屍HD

我在iPhone上玩過這個遊戲,用植物保護我的家免受看似無窮無盡的殭屍襲擊。iPad版本更好,因為屏幕更大。遊戲的前提很簡單,種植各種植物來摧毀殭屍,防止它們到達您的房子。您可以保護前院,然後一旦您掌握了這一點,就可以保護後院和屋頂。這款遊戲和愤怒的小鳥一樣令人上癮,我希望很快能看到續集。

星际降临

這是一款以太空為主題的塔防遊戲,具有出色的圖形,令人上癮的簡單遊戲玩法,並且在太容易和太困難之間有很好的平衡。您只需將塔放置在一個能夠擊敗入侵太空船的方式上即可。隨著遊戲的進展,您可以將經驗點數用於升級。因此,每個人對遊戲的體驗都會因升級的內容和時間而有所不同。

無限之刃

如果您想展示iPad 2的能力,那麼這款遊戲就是為您而設。它的圖形非常精美,
