iPad Game: Galcon Fusion

Galcon Fusion is a planetary conquering game best suited to multiplayer. It's considered an "RTS," or real time strategy game because you produce ships (little triangles) on your planets and wage war at the same time as your opponent(s).

The objective is to take over all enemy planets. You have to balance your distribution in order to defend as well as colonize. The more planets owned, the more ships produced. Larger planets produce faster. Also, the number on a planet defines how much resistance it has to attackers. Sending one ship to attack destroys one ship on the target planet.

Multiplayer is really fun because there's that challenge of multitasking and trying to survive in the middle of pure chaos. Eventually, huge empires form and they send swarms across the screen. It's exciting to watch and play.

Galcon Fusion is two dollars on the App Store, which is a little more than the everyday one dollar app, but I say it's worth it.

Warning: this game can be highly addictive, each round lasting from 10 to 30 minutes. It's so addictive that I might have stayed up until midnight playing (I'm an early bird, not a night owl). As a result, I forced myself to delete the game because I didn't want it to become a problem. Nonetheless, this is an awesome game to play (if you have the self control).
