Oh 'Appy Day

I recently acquired a iPad 4th Gen from my boyfriends brother, thank you!, mostly because I know of a ton of apps which just are not available on the Android platform and I've been wanting a decent sized tablet for a while, one thing Apple does well is the large tablet, so getting one is a blessing, here are a couple of apps which I've been playing.

Ticket To Ride (Available on App Store and Play Store)

A app version of the wonderfully simple but hard to master boardgame, I've sunk already a ton of time into this, you get routes to complete on a map and you have to place trains down to complete routes, sounds simple and it plays simple but its ruthless and a ton of fun!

Surgeon Simulator 'Touch' (Available on the App Store)

A app version of the crazy insane PC game hit from last year, this brings it to the iPad with all new touch controls and a few new mechanics to keep veterans of the PC game on their toes, such as your patient being able to have a heart attack, you just try to get that heart started in time, its not easy!
Infamous for it's dodgy slightly intentionally broken controls, this game is fantastic for a quick laugh and is certainly not for the squeamish!

If I mention something which was a little disappointing it's 'Sherlock The Network', it's only on the App Store and it's billed almost as a addition to the hit tv series, it stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman as Sherlock and Watson respectively, you're one of the latest members of the homeless network and you help solve cases and the like, sadly other than the wonderful videos and voices of Benedict and Martin the game lacks any other real substance and for a game which cost nearly €5, is a real shame, one for die hard Sherlock fans, as I am, but if you're not, best steer clear.
