  Last night, John Carmack’s ID Software released Rage for iOS. There are two versions - a 99 cent version for the iPhone / iPodTouch and an HD version for the iPad and the Retina display at $1.99.

  For a game of this quality to be released shows just what the iPad is in terms of it’s graphics and game playing capabilities…

  The pricing seems pretty aggressive too.

  Downloaded the game, the graphics are impressive on the iPad.  Its a rails shooter and the touch screen controls on a FPS just don’t work well compared to using a controller, but last year I bought Metal Gear Solid for iPhone and I felt ripped off paying $10.  Rage is definitely worth the $2, but if they would just open up an app store for the Apple TV and create a decent controller the console game market would suddenly have a low cost system to compete with the established players.

  I have to confess that I was a little disappointed with there only being 3 levels but it looked great and the videos were great too and I can’t really complain about the 2 bucks.
