Ngmoco brings We Rule, Charadium and GodFinger to iPad

But GodFinger's availability remains uncertain

Ngmoco brings We Rule, Charadium and GodFinger to iPad

Although they've been open secrets for a while, ngmoco has officially announced its iPad line up.

These are already launched Farmville-iPhone game We Rule, already released and highly regarded multiplayer pictionary game Charadium, and the Pocket God-goes-online game GodFinger.

All three should work well on the bigger screen, with the additional real estate enabling a more immersive experience, although even an iPad won't be sufficient to resurrect my We Rule kingdom-cum-forest.

What's more interesting however is the status of GodFinger, which has been live in Canada only for a couple of weeks now.

Considering the problems ngmoco had with We Rule's global roll out, I'm wondering if ngmoco will open it up to iPad users first to provide a further beta period before making it completely live for iPhone and iPod touch.

Neil Young, ngmoco's CEO is enthusiastic about iPad nevertheless.

"We are incredibly excited about iPad and we believe it will have the level of impact that iPhone and iPod touch continue to have in mobile gaming," he said.

"Humans react to what they see, what they hear and what they touch and iPad radically reshapes how players feel about interacting with games. The bigger screen and innovative multi-touch capabilities make our games more immersive than we ever imagined."

We Rule is out now and free-to-play, GodFinger is out soon and free-to-play, while Charadium for iPad costs $2.99, €2.39 or £1.79.
