I've just been using Safari, despite having Chrome installed as well. Is there any advantage in switching to another browser?

This game appears much darker than the other 2 Batman games and looks really good.
It doesn't look as good on my old iPad as it does in that video where it's no doubt played on an iPad 2 or 3, but it's still very visually impressive for an iOS title. Huge open world areas, and well-animated combat. Naturally the game isn't as good as Arkham Asylum/City, but it's not bad for what it is.

I like using Chrome for the features. Like if I have a tab open on my PC, I have immediate access to it from my phone and iPad. Bookmarks, passwords, everything are all synced between the three. It comes in surprisingly handy.

Aye, I keep constantly switching between my main desktop (at home) and laptop (when out) and now recently the iPhone, so I am finding the Chrome synch features quite... awesome. I know it's one extra potential security loophole, and I'm giving all my info to Google (think of the children!) but frankly the sheer convenience is worth it.

I'm getting my girlfriend an iPod Touch (4th generation) for Christmas. Are they 100% compatible with iPhones when it comes to games? What are some of the good free games for people who aren't into twitch gaming? (She does play 'real' games occasionally, but her usual fare is more along the lines of Bejewelled and Puzzle Quest.)

I hear The Room for iPad 2+ is really good. It's a puzzler.
It's superb actually. Although a little short in duration, it's one of the best games that I have played on the iPad. It combines beautiful graphics and sound with an interesting Lovecraftian background story revealed through a collection of letters hidden within the device that forms the central aspect of the game.
Although the puzzles are fairly moderate in difficulty, the game succeeds on a similar level to that of games such as Portal or Cogs, through its uncanny ability to make you feel as though you have solved puzzles of Byzantine complexity.
Can anyone make any other recommendations of a similar vein to The Room?

Since it was only 89 cents I picked up the iPad version of Carmageddon, expecting little more than a trip down memory lane. Instead I found myself having a hard time putting it down. It really is more playable and fun than an iOS version of a 15 year old PC game has any right to be.

The gameplay is mostly unchanged from the PC original, although I think they may have made powersliding easier and more controllable in this version. Pretty much all the features of the original game are intact, except for the cockpit-view. Even the Fear Factory soundtrack is still here. It also looks better than the original, thanks to higher resolution and a sleeker look. The downside is that the game does occasionally lag on my iPad 1, mostly when a lot of particles are in view(tiresmoke, sparks, etc.).
Defenitely worth picking up for the current price! :D

I don't know. Just 1-button combat? I think they could throw in a second button(for block or dodge) and still have it playable. Nice artstyle but the gameplay looks a bit dull honestly.
All Zelda clones look kinda dull at first glance. It's real strength will lie in it's dungeon, puzzle, and item design, which we haven't seen much of yet.
Why go the wired route, when you have access to Airplay now, and eventually Smartglass later?
