iPad Gaming: 11 Points of Contact Equals Multiplayer Madness

By

Plants vs Zombies™ Official Site - PopCap Games - Free Download Games-2

Need another reason to justify your purchase of a frivolous iPad? Pop Cap Games shows us just how valuable the iPad touchscreen surface is for gaming in a demo of Plants Vs. Zombies HD.

Apparently, the iPad can handle 11 simultaneous points of contact, which is perfect for the man with six fingers on his right hand. Or if you’re into playing games with friends and stuff, this makes for some great multiplayer action. Imagine 11-way air hockey, or 11-way Hungry Hungry Hippos. Which reminds me, when is the board game Crossfire coming to the App Store?

This is the cutest game demo video I have ever seen. It’s almost as cute as the trailer for Babies.
