Since the front page article links here...

I'm seeing the upcoming tablet as something that will be a great gaming machine - but not graphics intensive games that you play on a console or handheld. There are numerous strategy games, board game ports, and the like that have potential. Sure, it won't be big enough to play Risk on, but if they can port Monopoly or the Game of Life, or even Sim City or Civilisation, to the iPhone, I'm sure they can come up with something fun on a slate. Apple has pretty much revolutionised the casual gaming space and I reckon they'll be eyeballing it seriously.

I agree with that assessment; the increased screen area would make it ideal.

Civ or Sim City would be good on an iPad. But I'd give either of them a go on any platform.

A new version of Civ is on the way. The release date is apparently late this year. It'll be good if they have a simultaneous release (or nearly so) on iPad.
