iGosu iPad

Joystiq interviewed iPhone and game developers, asking for their take on the iPad as a gaming platform.

Canabalt's Adam "Atomic" Saltsman, Pocket God's Dave Castelnuovo, and PopCap games's Andrew Stein were some of the interviewees and they all seemed pretty excited about the unique capabilities of the iPad where they can make their games even more fun for normal people... what? Normal people? lol...

LOL! Ok that just sounds way too silly to me, there's no possible way that could feel natural. Ok maybe if you're playing in some handicap, 1-handed Starcraft 2 tournament, but that in no way sounds to me like a natural Starcraft gaming experiance. I'd miss hitting P P P B P etc... or I guess now more like E E E B P, Starcraft and Starcraft 2 like most RTS games cannot be played naturally or skillfully without hitting hotkeys with at least over a 100 APM*.
