How was your Bank Holiday gaming?

I had planned to finally spend some serious time with Red Dead Redemption this weekend but the iPad ruined those plans. Apple's new toy ruled the roost at ours this weekend although games were a big part of it. Plants and Zombies HD has gone done particularly well. But the simple to grasp touchscreen play of iPad gaming generally has been a hit with all ages too, especially non-gamers - is the iPad the Wii Sports of portable gaming?

Less impressive as a game - it lacks variety - but hugely promising as a technical achievement was the Diablo/action RPG style Pocket Legends. Playing across iPhone/Touch and iPad, Legends gives a little glimpse into where portable gaming could be headed.

Anyway, what about you? What did you play this weekend?
