pathetic? Almost 100 apps have been updated to support it. I expect that will rapidly increase once the new, less expensive, iCade controllers come out (especially that 8-bitty listed over at Think Geek).
And? the aps are nothing that would make me chose them over my console. I have an icade, i love the icade..i want better games for the thing.
JFC, the ipad could be shooter heaven just like the sega saturn, but most of the shooters are generic crap. So much potential wasted on stuff like cyborg livestock (which im rated #7 on) and AAA. Of that list of games there are maybe a dozen that are decent.
So yes, when you have a dozen decent game with icade capabilty out of a few hundred thousand, I belive that quantifies the pathetic label i gave it.
