With the first iPad controller<\/strong> approved by Apple, gaming takes a quantum leap.\u00a0Will the iPad take the place of Playstation and the Xbox? For now, maybe not, but it’s certainly on the right track, especially now that Apple officially supports, for the first time, a wireless controller for iOS 7: The SteelSeries Stratus Wireless Gaming Controller.<\/p>\n

This joypad solves the only real problem I had with video games for iOS devices: the difficulty of using virtual controls, especially in traditional games, such as FPS, sports games, racing car games, flight simulators and RPGs.<\/p>\n

Bridging\u00a0this gap that they faced against traditional consoles, and considering the quality of the connection to the TV via HDMI cable<\/strong>, the Apple tablet has therefore officially become an ultraportable video game console.<\/p>\n

There aren’t yet a huge number of compatible titles<\/a>, but you can bet that we’ll soon be inundated. The world of gaming, in fact, is a juicy slice of the market, and now that the “infrastructure” to make the iPad a console is in place, we can expect a beautiful revolution.<\/p>\n

To begin with, here are 5 games that already support the SteelSeries\u00a0controller<\/strong>, and will change your approach to videogames on a tablet.<\/p>\n

\"TempleTemple Run – <\/strong>Running takes a lot of\u00a0energy, but gives a lot of satisfaction too. And when it comes to Temple Run, with a physical controller the energy you need to use is halved and satisfaction is\u00a0doubled. The aim of the game is speeding through a world that looks like a movie, collecting treasures and power-ups and avoiding obstacles.<\/p>\n

A game that leaves you breathless, especially when viewed in HD on your TV at home.<\/p>\n
