Hi,
I think I remember some here saying they were playing games on an iPad
in Spalls thread.
I say paid, because I do not want ads and spyware on my new iPad.
My wife used to play Words With Friends but I am not interested in
games like that. Besides, I think I read it is spyware.

Well I haven't gotten back to this title as yet, but Deus Ex Go I found relaxing and enjoyable on my ipad. Also consider Hitman Go & Lara Croft Go. I bought Planescape Torment on ipad as well, haven't tried it yet tho!

I have a bunch of paid apps on my iPad. Unfortunately, most of them
were purchased years ago, which means a) I don't know if they're still >available on the store, b) I don't know if they run on modern iPads,
and c) they almost certainly don't take advantage of all the newest >bells-n-whistles of the latest devices.
Still, "Starbase Orion" and "Civilization: Revolution" are excellent
strategy games, "Smash Hit" is a fun arcade game where you get to
smash all sorts of glass panels, the "Lost Treasures of Infocom" hurts
my brain in a pleasant way, and "Solebon Solitaire" (the ad-free
version) lets me Freecell to my heart's content.
I haven't purchased any new games for the iPad just because a) I
already have more than I really want (those I listed are just a few
that I keep on-device) and b) I don't really enjoy playing on a mobile >devices anyway. I'm never going to be a fan of touch-screen controls,
and carrying around a controller seems contrary to the purpose. So
these days I mostly just use the tablets for media consumption
(reading, mostly), and save the gaming for the big screen.

That was probably me. So if you putting aside the ad supported games
that's about 90% of the games gone. Moving onwards, it's a bit tricky to >answer as you really need to say what you're looking for in a game. I've >bought a few and a lot of them are choose you own adventure type games
with Overboard, To Be and 80 Days as some standouts. The last one I got
was Plague Inc. as who doesn't want to wipe out the human population.
My suggestion though is just have a google for some top iPad game lists
and go from there.

The Monkey Islands, all the RPGs from Spiderweb Software instantly come
to my mind. Especially the Spiderweb games shine on a tablet, due to the
form factor and the relaxed round based rpg play style.
They are good rpgs as well, in the vein of the old Ultimas and Fallouts.
"Go" means iPad game?

There are quite a number of ports of good PC games to the iPad.
"Doom", "Max Payne", "Prince of Persia Warrior Within", "Star Wars
Knights of the Old Republic", "XCom", "Need for Speed Undercover",
"Assassins Creed China", "Mirror's Edge", "Another World",
"Minecraft", "Beneath a Steel Sky", "Resident Evil 4", "Mass
Effect"...these are just some of the games in my iOS library, and I am
sure there are newer games too (I stopped expanding my iPad game
collection some years ago be). I mean, Epic's "Fortnite" is on the
iPad and that's one of the most popular games in the world now. It's
not really a challenge to find PC-quality games in the Apple mobile
ecoystem.
But - at least in my experience - it's not really fun to play those
games on those devices either. You're either using touchpad controls,
or lugging around a controller. It's just not a platform that's really designed for long-form games where you stare at the screen for hours
on end; it's better suited to quickie mobile-game experiences (e.g., "Bejeweled" or "Angry Birds" or any game where a match takes two or
three minutes and you usually don't play more than two or three
matches at a time).
I love my tablets, I really do... but they're best suited as media-consumption devices rather than something requiring any
significant user interaction, whether it's typing out a document,
creating art, or playing a game of any complexity. Sure, you /can/ do
all those things... but tablets are a tool ill-suited to those tasks
and you're much better off using a desktop or laptop.
Just read this, I guess don't buy these :( >https://www.gamespot.com/articles/deus-ex-go-other-square-enix-mobile-games-will-be-unplayable-from-next-year/1100-6509434/

The only paid games I played on iOS were ages ago, and I know for a
fact most of them are gone/don't work any more. There is one though
ancient, but still available:
Fantasy RPGs:

Strategy, adventure and turn-based RPGs are probably the best PC games
to play on a tablet, since they're slow enough that the controls
aren't a major disadvantage. It's bad enough that the controls are
inaccurate and lack any feedback, but when the is doing double-duty
both as controller and as display, action games become exceptionally
irksome to play.
But with slower games, you can just lift your hands from the controls
long enough to see what's going on without fearing that you've doomed
your on-screen avatar to a sudden death. ;-)

* Solomon's Keep
There's the Lite version which is a free demo to try.
I'll tell you good games that are free that the microtransactions
aren't excessive or necessarily required:
Fantasy RPGs:
* Knights of Pen and Paper 2 F2P (I'll note that Knight of Pen and
Paper is $5 and pretty good, and doesn't have the microtransactions, so
does qualify, though I played it on the PC.)
* Buriedbornes (yes it's spelled that way, not sure what it means, it's >Japanese and has some translation problems but well worth going through)
* Soda Dungeon
Other:
* Fallout Shelter
* Space Pioneer (sort of planet explorer diablo like game)
* Random Dice (odd dice game, fun though)

I installed Fallout Shetler. Just messed around with it for a couple
of minutes.
Oh - and Q*Bert! :-)
