Five iPad Games You Should Be Playing.

The iPad has so much functionality. It can double as a note taker, a calculator, an organizer and an alarm clock. The iPad also has the capability to surf the internet and log into your email and social site accounts.

However, my favorite feature of the iPad is the ability to transform into a compact gaming device that boasts power over most consoles.

I have here five of the iPad games that had me addicted for a long, long while. Check it out!

1. Temple Run - Seems too obvious. Temple Run has been called by experts "the next Angry Birds" because it is simple but amazingly addictive. In Temple Run, you are to run your way through an ancient temple all while avoiding obstacles like trees, pitfalls and fire and collecting coins and power ups, while trying to lose the wild carnivorous monkeys that are chasing you. The best about Temple Run is that it is a free download.

2. Mage Gauntlet - Retro is the new "amazing graphics"! Mage Gauntlet is a retro-style RPG (role playing game) that focuses on bringing back the nostalgia feeling when we first played Zelda or Final Fantasy. In this game, you control the story of Lexi, a mage with anti-magic characteristics - she cannot conjure or create magic and when she touches anything magical, it explodes. Well, except for one thing - the mage gauntlet - a gauntlet that stores magic for later use. Since she can only store magic, you will play every quest in a battle paladin style - very little magic and a lot of sword play.

3. Katamari Amore - A cool new concept! You control a piece of sticky ball (actually there is someone rolling the ball, but he is extremely tiny) that gathers everything it rolls into. You can only get items that are smaller than your current ball but it gets bigger and bigger as long as you roll items intro it. At first you can only roll pushpins, coins and candies, but on later levels you get to roll people, cars, buildings, even islands! Katamari Amore is also known for its endearing earworm soundtracks.

4. Muffin Knight - Collecting muffins had never so much fun! In Muffin Knight, you are thrust into different levels, each level requiring you to collect a certain number of muffins, all while avoiding an endless barrage of foes. There is a catch, though - for every muffin collected, you character, together with its ability changes. At the start of the game, you are a knight but as you progress you turn into a candy-vomiting zombie, a rainbow-pooping unicorn or a sumo panda. Fun!

5. Tower Madness - iTunes is literally overflowing with defence games but most of them are not worth the download. Tower Madness is not one of those. In Tower Madness, you protect your sheep from aliens by creating different types of towers and upgrading them. Tower Madness is extremely cute but has tons of challenging gameplay experience in store for you.
