I got an iPad. Yes an iPad. People say they’re worthless, but I digress. See I used to think they were useless but having for 3 days I’m actually seeing a lot of usage in it. First thing I wanted to do when I got this was pay six dollars for a awesome looking little game called Infinity Blade.

Now Infinity Blade is something like a year and a half old and already has a sequel, but I don’t care I’m doing this review anyway.
This game always appealed to me it’s just I’ve never had the time or the software (Being with android and all) to get it. But already I’m finding it’s absolutely brilliant.
The game sets off in some random fantasy world, where you see “your fathers” death by the hands of someone wielding, you guessed it, the Infinity Blade. After this you are thrown into the son of the man you’ve just witnessed die saying he will avenge his death. This is where it gets kinda cool, because the game has very decent graphics especially for an iOS device but yet it’s so simplistic that it all just works really well.

You’ll progress through enemy after enemy leveling up until you reach the Infinity Blade man (He doesn’t really have a name) and trust me, the first time you face him, you’ll die. That’s just how it is, and here’s the kicker. When you get killed by the Infinity Blade man, the next generation takes over and tries to avenge your death, these are called “Bloodlines”. You’ll keep all your gear and your level, and keep going in a circle as you’re cut down by this guy that’s killed almost all your family members that have been so dedicated to taking this guy down.

Now I haven’t finished the game yet, but I’m assuming you’ll level up until you’re tough enough to defeat him and finally end game will come and you’ll take the guy down. I really like the idea, because it’s so simplistic and so repetitive and yet it doesn’t get old. I’m about half way in I’d say and I’m still never bored of it, I think this is mainly because of the combat, you’ll stay in one spot and slice at your opponent by swiping on the touch screen, you also have special abilities which are just so addicting to use.

I think this is really worth the six dollars, I know it seems a bit much but the graphics, gameplay and simplicity of it all just makes it so worth it, even more so then Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja. It’s 9/10 for me.
