NYU Traveler is a web-based portal that is linked to NYU's travel safety service, Worldcue. The following are frequent questions asked about NYU Traveler, it's travel safety services and associated travel online booking services.
If you have any questions about NYU Traveler, please call the ITS Service Desk at 212-998-3333 or e-mail email@example.com, or visit www.nyu.edu/its/askits/helpdesk for support information at NYU's global sites.
We created NYU Traveler as a tool to enhance the safety of students, faculty, administrators, and staff traveling on University-related business. When you book or register through NYU Traveler, your travel plans are routed through Worldcue, a traveler safety service with which NYU has contracted. Worldcue will automatically alert the individual traveler to dangerous conditions that may have emerged where he or she will be traveling, and will automatically alert the University to emergencies, allowing it to move more rapidly to assist members of the NYU community.
NYU has a special responsibility for the welfare of its undergraduate students, so if you are a faculty member, student, administrator, or staff-member participating in or accompanying in an NYU trip involving undergraduates, then you and all participants in the trip must use NYU Traveler, either to book your trip or to register your travel arrangements.
Apart from these circumstances, the use of NYU Traveler will be voluntary for faculty, doctoral students, post-docs, and researchers. For administrators, unit heads will determine whether the use of NYU Traveler will be mandatory or voluntary.
Choice was an important precept as we created NYU Traveler. When you use NYU Traveler, you have the choice of booking your arrangements with AMEX Travel or Egencia or using any travel agency you wish and registering your travel arrangements directly with Worldcue (however, by using AMEX or Egencia on the NYU Traveler site, you can save yourself that extra step of registering your travel plans with Worldcue - it's done automatically). To access AMEX or Egencia, simply enter your NYU Net ID and password.
The NYU Global Travel Team may be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule trainings. The user guides for AMEX Travel, Egencia, and Worldcue may also assist you in your search for answers or general information.
If you are a NET ID holder, you may book travel for a non-NYU individual (i.e.: spouse, partner, guest speaker) by calling Egencia. These reservations can not be made online.
We chose these two firms because they are proven: they are widely used by other universities and businesses for their travel programs; their on-line booking technology is intuitive; they have 24/7 customer service, including by phone; and we were able to work with them to automatically forward travel plan information to our travel safety service Worldcue.
It's fine to go ahead and use him or her; it's still perfectly compatible with NYU Traveler. After you book your travel arrangements with your agent, just go to the NYU Traveler site and register your information before you travel. However, if you use AMEX or Egencia to book your travel, you will save yourself a step because reservations made via these two agencies are automatically forwarded to Worldcue, and thus Public Safety.
For the purpose of using NYU Travel, "travel" is defined as air travel (domestic or international), travel by major rail (Amtrak or EuroRail), or a hotel stay.
American Express and Egencia have access to all published airfares. Either travel management company will provide the lowest fare inventory available for the class of service requested at the time of booking unless instructed that a less restrictive ticket is needed. When a lower fare is found for the same flight through a different booking source such as an airline website, it is most often because the inventory was available at the moment of the search. Therefore, with that being said, there may be times when another site or travel agent quotes a lower cost. Should you prefer to book your reservations through another website or agency, it's not a problem: afterwards, you can go to NYU Traveler and register your travel info.
Both Egencia and AMEX offer their own fare guarantees based on specific parameters. More information on each of these guarantees can be found within the AMEX and Egencia booking sites.
If you book through either AMEX or Egencia on the NYU Traveler site, you will receive three separate e-mails: 1) a confirmation of your itinerary from AMEX or Egencia, 2) a paid invoice from AMEX or Egencia, and 3) a Welcome e-mail from Worldcue.
If you have booked your travel though an outside agency, and register your travel through Worldcue, you will receive one e-mail: the Welcome e-mail from Worldcue. This e-mail will contain a link to create your profile with Worldcue. It is important to click on the link and complete the profile the first time as this will enable you to update your previously registered travel plans should the need arise.
Subsequently, regardless of how you booked your travel, Worldcue will alert you with follow-up e-mails if there are any current or emerging threats or safety risks in the area you are traveling to.
In addition, if you are traveling to a country that is designated as particularly dangerous, NYU's Office of Public Safety will reach out to you directly to discuss your safety and necessary provisions for your safe travel.
Worldcue is a service created to help protect the individual traveler: it analyzes news and information from around the world to identify emerging issues which be a threat to a traveler going to a particular destination. These issues became acute for the University during the earthquake in Haiti and the uprisings in Egypt, where evacuation of NYU personnel was made more difficult and time-consuming by the absence of precise travel information. NYU's arrangement with Worldcue is that, after booking or registering through NYU Traveler, automatic e-mail updates will be sent to travelers about changing conditions and threats in their destinations. The privacy of NYU community members is important to us: your travel plan information is held safely and securely; it will only be accessed if there is an emergency or a serious threat, and then only by the senior leadership of NYU's Department of Public Safety.
Call 877-613-4284. The phone number can also be found on NYU Traveler by clicking on "BOOK." The phone number is located below the word "Egencia."
Call +1-877-613-4284 and press prompt 2 for Domestic Travel or prompt 3 for international travel. Either agent will be able to assist you.
Here you can find a PDF version of the User Guide for Egencia.
Here you can find a PDF of Egencia-specific FAQs.
Yes, please use the attached NYU Group Roster and forward to firstname.lastname@example.com
For NYU Group Travel needs, Group Coordinators and Administrators are encouraged to set up the group travel using Egencia's "Meetings" option. Use of Egencia's "Meetings" will allow for automatic transmission of travel plans/itineraries to Worldcue. For more information on how Egencia can assist with your Group Travel needs, please send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Anyone can access the NYU Traveler site. However, in order to book a reservation with AMEX Travel, Egencia, or to Register a trip with Worldcue, a NYU Net ID is required.
Call the IT Service Desk at 212-998-3333. Or if your question is specific to AMEX Travel or Egencia and their booking sites, call them directly and listen for the prompt for navigational assistance. If you need assistance booking your travel, or if your travel is a complex, multi-leg booking, it is best to call an agent at either AMEX Travel 888-477-0451 or Egencia 877-613-4284.
As indicated above, if you booked your travel plans outside of AMEX or Egencia, we encourage you to register your travel plans by clicking the REGISTER button on the NYU Traveler homepage. If you book your travel plans through AMEX or Egencia, your plans are automatically passed to Worldcue. If you are a participant in NYU Travel involving undergraduates, you are required to either book or register through NYU Traveler.
Worldcue is a leading provider of practical destination intelligence and real time travel alerts. Worldcue is dedicated to protecting the health, safety and security of the NYU community while they travel abroad. Worldcue keeps travelers aware and informed with informative alerts delivered directly to them.
From your travel itinerary and profile, Worldcue can deliver customized travel reports for hundreds of destinations worldwide.
You can receive current travel reports and alerts for the country to which you will be traveling. You will be immediately updated about changing conditions that might affect your itinerary, which will allow you to circumvent potential difficulties with minimal trip disruption.
No. If you booked your travel online with AMEX Travel or Egencia, or by calling an agent at either, your travel plans have automatically been passed to Worldcue for safety and security purposes and you need not do anything further.
No. If you booked your travel online with AMEX Travel or Egencia, or by calling an agent at either, and subsequently changed your travel plans, the changes have automatically been passed to Worldcue for safety and security purposes.

Trident United Ways Day of Caring is moving from September to Friday, Nov. 14.
Thats the date when Lowcountry residents will once again volunteer their sweat and skills to make a difference in the lives of people in their community.
Day of Caring has grown beyond a single day of service into a launching pad for year-round engagement.
Many of the companies volunteering their labor, expertise and supplies to area non-profits and schools have expressed the desire to increase their impact. So this year, in a continuing effort to make Day of Caring more impactful, Trident United Way is moving the date back two months.
Our partners spoke and we listened, said Kat Morgan, Community Volunteer Manager and lead organizer of Trident United Ways Day of Caring. The schools told us they needed more time in the school year to prepare for the event. Once we found that many of our corporate and non-profit partners also preferred the later date, we made the switch.
Trident United Way cited several other reasons why November is a better fit:
The organization said September was difficult for schools because it required much of the planning to occur when teachers were on summer break.
And, the organization said, the November date has other advantages because moves the projects out of the late summer heat and farther from the belly of hurricane season.
Planning for this years event is well underway.

Monica's Waterfront Bakery & Café Focuses on Fresh Local Foods and CarbonFree® Operations
We've heard the phrase "think globally, act locally" associated with many environmental movements and causes. Our CarbonFree® Business Partnership program takes this call to action a step further by helping businesses of all sizes to "act globally and act locally."
For the past five years, Monica's Waterfront Bakery & Café in Silverdale, WA has heeded this call. They've maintained a CarbonFree® Business as an important part of their overall commitment to "remarkable customer service" and sustainable business practices. Monica and her team recognized that it was important to supplement their dedication to sourcing locally, and to eliminating waste and emissions wherever possible, by adding a global commitment to neutralizing all annual carbon emissions from their business operations.
"Because we know we are doing some things well and there are lots of things that we can do better," explains Monica Downen, Owner and namesake of the bakery and café. "We love that we reduce what we can and offset what we can't!"
Monica's Waterfront Bakery & Café offers a menu featuring local produce, dairy, eggs, coffee, honey, sodas, flour and grains, pickles, and poultry. The staff composts food waste, recycles, uses compact fluorescent light bulbs and subscribes to green power through the local utility. All of these efforts accompany their five-year commitment to maintaining a CarbonFree® operation.
Make sure your sustainable business plan minimizes your impact on the environment. Join Monica's Waterfront Bakery and Café in our CarbonFree® Business Partnership program and support our carbon reduction and clean air technology projects around the world.
Just Skin Food Balances Natural Healing with CarbonFree® Operations and Product Shipments
For many of our CarbonFree® Small Business Partners, it's important to balance their intentions to provide sustainably-produced products to customers while minimizing their operational impact on the environment. These goals often require careful choices and thoughtful decisions in order to achieve the right equilibrium and stay true to the mission and goals of the business. New CarbonFree® Business Partner Just Skin Food struggled with this balancing act until they reached the right approach.
Just Skin Food offers handmade organic and naturally synthetic-free "skin food" products that support, nourish and heal. All of the herbal oils, salves and balms are made by hand, by using various infusing methods of organic herbs with unrefined, steam-distilled and cold-pressed ingredients. Most products are vegan, and all products are cruelty free and GMO-free.
Just Skin Food was started by Gabriella Calvi-Rooney. When she first launched Just Skin Foods, she chose NOT to sell anything online – she felt that generating a larger carbon footprint through packaging and shipping small quantities of her products was counter-intuitive to the healing that she hoped her products would accomplish. As a result, her products were offered locally in the Cape May, NJ area or hand-delivered by Gabriella when she traveled to other areas.
In a very short time, customer demand was so great that Gabriella felt compelled to create a website to enable customers to order her herbal products online. Now Gabriella had to decide how to minimize the carbon footprint for shipping such small items.
The CarbonFree® Business Partnership program was established to help businesses like Just Skin Foods address their impact on the environment. The program provides a simple, affordable means through which products and services can be delivered to customers while neutralizing operational emissions and supporting carbon reduction projects around the world.
Joining the CarbonFree® Business Partnership program was an easy and affordable solution that neutralized carbon emissions from Just Skin Food's operational activities and projected product shipments. Gabriella also established a minimum online order size, reuses shipping boxes from vendors, and only ships twice weekly to reduce carbon emissions associated with post office trips and shipments. In addition, she chose to use organic freshly popped popcorn as packaging material, which can be fed to the birds.
If your business is re-evaluating its social and environmental responsibilities and needs to its reduce operational impact, consider the example of Just Skin Food and the solutions we provide through our CarbonFree® Business Partnership program.
Arbor Teas 100% CarbonFree for Sixth Year
Even the most environmentally sensitive businesses know that their annual operations contribute to the increase in carbon emissions in our atmosphere, but the businesses that are truly committed to operational sustainability are taking simple and affordable steps to reduce their carbon footprint.
For the past six years, CarbonFree® Business Partner Arbor Teas has neutralized its annual operational emissions and its product shipment emissions in partnership with Carbonfund.org. Arbor Teas retails one of the largest selections of USDA-certified organic loose leaf teas from around the globe, most of which is Fair Trade, through its on-line store. In addition, Arbor Teas is committed to making a positive impact on the environment and has taken many steps to reduce emissions by offering only organic teas, reducing and "greening" its packaging and using renewable energy sources. However, their teas come from all corners of the world, so the shipping emissions are unavoidable. To mitigate these emissions, Arbor Teas has maintained a CarbonFree® Shipping program to offset the carbon footprint of annual product shipment emissions, and to offset all internal operational emissions, by supporting Carbonfund.org's renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects.
"It makes no sense at all to sell an organic product if the method of delivering it to our customers is environmentally harmful," says Jeremy Lopatin. "Although we do everything we can to reduce our carbon footprint, we're happy to partner with Carbonfund.org to offset what we can't avoid… yet!"
Almost three years ago, Arbor Teas became the first tea company to deliver its full line of organic loose teas in 100% backyard compostable packaging. With the release of this next generation packaging, Arbor Teas advanced its environmental mission, continuing to lead the tea industry through its staunch commitment to sustainable business practices. For the first time ever, tea drinkers are now able to compost their tea leaves AND tea packaging together in their home composting system. This innovative packaging is composed of a cellulose film made from wood pulp sourced from sustainably-managed trees, and the films used for Arbor Teas' new packaging breaks down in a backyard compost setting.
Carbonfund.org applauds Arbor Teas' long-term commitment to maintaining its CarbonFree® Operations and Shipping programs, and to its continuing innovation in the areas of product packaging and sourcing.
CarbonFree® Partner K.L. Security Expands Its Safe Environments Initiative
The CarbonFree® Business Partnership program is intended to provide a simple, affordable way for businesses of any size to evaluate the carbon emissions associated with their annual operations, take steps to reduce these emissions, and neutralize the remaining emissions by supporting clean air and carbon reduction projects around the world. The program is also structured so that it compliments broader sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility programs, and helps to promote awareness and recognition for these efforts.
A great example of expanding environmental commitment beyond carbon emissions neutralization is CarbonFree® Partner K.L. Security Enterprises' annual tree-planting projects through their Safe Environments Initiative. When not out planting trees, the K.L. Security team helps customers store critical business and personal electronic data, documents, vital records and collections with their custom safes, vaults, fireproof file cabinets and ioSafe rugged hard drives. For residential customers, services may also include preservation and protection of family photo albums, heirlooms and other keepsakes.
"For the last 5 years, I've been a steward of a diverse ecosystem in Indiana - 48 acres of native forest and prairie that deserves to be protected," explains Johnny Klemme, CEO of K.L. Security Enterprises. "With the help of friends and family, we're teaching others about the importance and power of our local environment, and even more importantly, that you can't sit back and wait for other people to take initiative; you have to make that conscious decision today to make a difference."
Check out this video to see Johnny and the K.L. Security team in action.
In the last two years alone, K.L. Security has offset 93 metric tonnes of CO2 through the CarbonFree® Business Partnership, the equivalent of carbon emissions from almost 10,500 gallons of gasoline. In 2013, K.L. Security plans to complete two additional environmental improvement projects with several other local businesses in their community.
"Our commitment to the environment runs deep, and partnering with Carbonfund.org ensures that every bit of our operational CO2 emissions is accounted for," confirms Johnny. "Each and every one of our customers across the United States can take comfort that the carbon emissions from every safe and vault that we ship to them are offset through our support of Carbonfund.org's reforestation, renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. We're doing our part to affect positive change in the world in which we live, work and play and hope our customers value this commitment as much as we do."
CarbonFree® Partner Inner Ecology Registers as an Illinois Benefit Corporation
To inaugurate the New Year, CarbonFree® Business Partner Inner Ecology™ is proud to become one of the very first Benefit Corporations in the state of Illinois. Founding Director Amanda Kreiss joined thirteen pioneering business leaders to join this newly-established corporate structure to help forge a more sustainable and inclusive economy.
Inner Ecology facilitates the responsible sourcing, assessing, and dispensing of East Asian traditional medicinals of whole plant, mineral and animal origin for the benefit of its customers' environmental and economic health. Inner Ecology seeks to provide consistent leadership in forging a fresh approach to social entrepreneurship within the field of East Asian Medicine.
Three years ago, Inner Ecology augmented its environmental sustainability commitment by joining the CarbonFree® Business Partnership program in order to neutralize its annual operational carbon emissions and support carbon reduction and clean air projects around the world.
"We relish this singular opportunity to demonstrate publicly the level of our commitment to good stewardship and to be held accountable for the high standards we set", asserted Amanda Kreiss, the Founding Director of Inner Ecology. "In the longer term, a central aim of our business is to do our part to "green" the profession of East Asian Medicine and support domestic cultivation of our medicinals."
Benefit Incorporation revives the tradition of corporate charters from an era when states expected and demanded that corporations serve the public good. In Illinois, Benefit Corporations are now legally required to include this material positive impact on society and the environment in their articles of incorporation, and to publicly report annually on overall social and environmental performance in compliance with comprehensive, credible, independent, and transparent third party standards. This offers businesses more freedom in defining success and provides legal protection for those looking to pursue a corporate purpose other than simply maximizing profits.
Carbonfund.org recognizes Inner Ecology's leadership, both in its ongoing pursuit of environmentally-responsible operations and its new focus on a broader social commitment to fully accountable reporting on all social and environmental performances.
Moxie Bookkeeping Proves Small Businesses Can Commit to Sustainability
The CarbonFree® Business Partnership program was launched in 2007 with the goal of helping businesses of all sizes – start-ups through global Fortune 1000s – to make a commitment to environmentally-sustainable operations and to keep that commitment for the long haul.
Six years later, we're honoring over 100 small businesses that have been consistent CarbonFree® Business Partners for the past five and six years. One of these businesses is Moxie Bookkeeping of Brooklyn, New York, started in 2004 by Ean Murphy, with the purpose to serve small operations and to make bookkeeping a valuable tool for making smart decisions instead of one more hassle at the end of a long week.
While Moxie Bookkeeping does not sell 'green' products, they've made the conscious decision to provide services in the most environmentally-responsible way possible. This included joining our CarbonFree® Business Partnership program in 2008. Moxie Bookkeeping makes an annual donation to Carbonfund.org in order to support our carbon reduction and clean energy innovation projects around the world. In addition, Moxie Bookkeeping focuses their service on electronic delivery wherever possible, to avoid printed statements and checks. Their office products are purchased through green product providers and recycling is mandatory in their offices.
"I can't run my business without using electricity and natural resources," says Ean Murphy. "I want to make sure I am an active part of the solution." Through her long-term partnership with Carbonfund.org, Ean is able to provide her holistic bookkeeping services in a CarbonFree® work environment.
Steadfast Networks Leading with CarbonFree® Cloud Computing
According to the Carbon Disclosure Project, cloud computing can help companies realize $12.3 billion in energy savings and reduce carbon emissions by 85.7 million metric tons annually by the year 2020. This staggering carbon emissions reduction figure is equivalent to mitigating the emissions from almost 181 million barrels of oil each year.
These compelling statistics are creating a surge in cloud computing options and providers; the challenge is to find the right provider offering the breadth of computing services, systems security and deliver the flexibility required by each business.
Chicago-based Steadfast Networks offers an additional benefit to its customers by operating in a CarbonFree® environment. Steadfast Networks calculates the annual carbon emissions from all base operations and neutralizes those emissions by supporting Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction and clean air technology projects. Steadfast Networks also provides a CarbonFree® option to all customers by calculating and mitigating specific operational emissions through Carbonfund.org for each customer's dedicated or co-located server energy consumption.
"At Steadfast, we're always looking for new ways to reduce our environmental impact. Carbonfund.org fit organically into our business model and so it was pretty much a "no brainer" for us," explains Karl Zimmerman, President and Chief Executive Officer at Steadfast Networks.
Steadfast Networks specializes in highly flexible cloud computing, including options for dedicated servers or collocation services at their fully redundant data centers in Chicago and New York. The facilities used by Steadfast Networks are highly engineered to assure reliability and maximize energy efficiency, resulting in a significantly reduced carbon footprint. Their status as a CarbonFree® Business Partner sets Steadfast Networks above the competition for companies seeking the most environmentally responsible options for cloud computing solutions.
Carbonfund.org Helps Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures Minimize Environmental Impact
The "Leave No Trace Behind" ethic is supported by the four major US federal land management agencies and by most eco-travel organizations trying to uphold high standards of environmentally-responsible tour operations. These principles can be followed in eco-tourism planning and observed onsite during tours, but eco-travel operations still generate other sources of harmful environmental emissions through transportation and onsite energy consumption during tour operations.
Carbonfund.org works with several eco-tour operators who take their environmental commitment beyond the tenets of "Leave No Trace Behind" by measuring, reducing where possible and mitigating all carbon emissions from their operations, and CarbonFree® partner Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures is a great example.
Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures maintains carbon neutral operations for the transportation and energy consumption they cannot eliminate by supporting Carbonfund.org's clean air and carbon reduction projects around the world.
"It's so important to do what we can to leave the smallest impact possible here on planet earth. This is why we partner with the Carbonfund.org," states Taylor Phillips, Owner and Lead Guide for Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures.
Eco Tour Adventures was created with the idea of helping people connect with and gain a deeper appreciation for the natural world through wildlife observation and natural history interpretation. Their premise is that their tour guests develop a stronger bond with the natural world and will make more environmentally sound choices in their daily lives. TripAdvisor recently named Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures as one of ten great wildlife tours. Carbonfund.org is proud to partner with Eco Tour Adventures in their carbon emissions mitigation efforts, helping their organization serve as a positive role model for its tour guests and for other eco-tourism businesses.
HealthCare International Partners with Carbonfund.org to Maintain Environmental Leadership
Part of an effectively designed corporate social responsibility program is to address the interests and concerns of the clients, customers and employees of the company. The fitness industry has recognized that its customers and employees seek out businesses that share their commitment to social responsibility and environmental sustainability, but not all have addressed these concerns.
Carbonfund.org partner HealthCare International (HCI), a leading supplier and distributor of innovative products for health, wellness, fitness and active aging, took action by implementing a program to assess and neutralize the environmental impact of its annual operations. Since 2008, HCI has measured and offset all carbon emissions associated with the energy used in its manufacturing, packaging, transportation and operational aspects of their business through their CarbonFree® Partnership program. This commitment places HCI as an environmental leader in the fitness industry and demonstrates proactive steps in the fight against global climate change.
In order to neutralize its annual operational emissions, HCI has made itself carbon neutral by supporting Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction projects which are helping to build renewable energy sources, develop reforestation projects and invest in energy efficiency technology worldwide. Considering the implications of climate change, maintaining a carbon emissions mitigation program through Carbonfund.org is a natural extension of the work HCI does in improving the health and wellness of its customers and employees.
Glenn Safadago president of HealthCare International comments, "Collectively, the fitness industry has not made an effort to reduce its impact on the environment. Our goal is to be the first company in the fitness industry to be considered a "green" manufacturer." We commend HCI for their leadership position in fitness industry sustainability and are proud to partner with them in these ongoing efforts.
CarbonFree® Event Transportation through Carbonfund.org Partner The Convention Store
According to a study by the American Bus Association, motor coaches are the most fuel-efficient transportation mode in North America, in terms of passenger miles per gallon of fuel. As a result, motor coaches are on average seven times more fuel-efficient than single occupancy automobiles, making motor coaches the most environmentally-friendly option for group transportation needs.
Carbonfund.org makes it simple for environmentally-conscious transportation companies, such as CarbonFree® partner The Convention Store (TCS), to further enhance their fuel-efficient coaches by offsetting fuel-related emissions. TCS specializes in providing ground transportation services to large-scale meeting planners, conferences and events throughout the United States and Canada.
TCS monitors, designs and implements the most efficient travel routes for their clients to decrease the distance of each trip; then they augment their large-capacity fuel-efficient transportation services by offsetting all carbon emissions from their motor coach services. This in turn supports Carbonfund.org's clean air and carbon reduction technology projects.
"We chose to partner with Carbonfund.org because they not only offer ways to offset our carbon footprint but are building a network of other companies that care about our environment as much as we do," says TCS CEO Sean Higgins. "It is amazing to watch the list of partners grow and know the amount of change that we will all bring by partnering with Carbonfund.org."

Johnny Manziel isn't able to collect money off his famous nickname now due to NCAA rules, but it seems there's a loop hole. Johnny Manziel and his company JMAN2 Enterprises have filed a lawsuit claiming infringement on his trademark and if he wins the lawsuit, he can collect the money. The NCAA recently notified Texas A&M that, "a student-athlete can keep financial earnings as a result of a legal action."
According to ESPN.com, "Manziel's corporation, JMAN2 Enterprises, filed a lawsuit in Texas last week against Eric Vaughan, a man who was selling T-shirts that read, "Keep Calm and Johnny Football." Manziel claims Vaughan infringed on his trademark rights."
Although Manziel didn't file papers to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for "Johnny Football" until Feb. 2, a trademark doesn't have to be federally registered for there to be an ownership claim.
The lawsuit asks the court to award damages for the unlawful sale of the "Johnny Football" T-shirts. Texas A&M's compliance office recently received a ruling from the NCAA that a student-athlete can keep financial earnings as a result of a legal action. College football insiders are already calling the loophole a death blow to the NCAA.
This isn't the only Johnny Manziel news making headlines. Sarah Savage, Johnny's girlfriend recently posted bikini photos on her Instagram proving she's not just "Johnny Football's girlfriend."
Talk about keeping up with Katherine Webb!
Not to mention, Manziel's announcement he is taking online courses only, his Mardi Gras celebration with fellow SEC football players and the time he took for a fan picture.

The Men's Chorus performance will include "Freedom Come" by Ben Allway, "In Taberna" from "Carmina Burana" by Carl Orff, "When I hear Music" by Michael Martin and "Fight on for KSU!" by Dawn Wagner-Casey and Chad Kendall. The Women's Chorus will perform works including "Hotaru Koi" by Ro Ogura, "Surrexit pastor bonus" by Felix Mendelssohn and a traditional Kenyan piece called "Wana Baraka."

I thought that I would interrupt this week's "Friday Top 5″ to give a big shout out to everyone who will be at the weekend's International Makeup Artist Trade Show (IMATS) in Los Angeles. I love this show, mainly because I get to catch up with my favorite makeup artists and bloggers and preview the newest launches in beauty.
This year I will be grabbing up my Temptu Pro Pods, Embryolisse, Bobbi Brown, BFTE and Lisse Watier.
Make sure to stop by the BFTE and say hello to one of my favorite beauty bloggers Phyrra. She will be at the booth, along with Koren Zander of Enkore Makeup!

Spice Bandits
Spice Bandits is probably the best tower defense game I've ever played. You take on the role of an adorable little space pirate who plunders various locations on Earth to gather up as much spice as possible. Of course, pesky humans aren't interested in letting you get away with that, and attack your various strongholds in waves while you defend with all sorts of upgradeable alien towers. Maps have a variety of themes and terrain qualities, making every round a new experience. Over time, you gather spice which can be spent on new kinds of turrets (provided you're a high enough level and have the prerequisite turrets purchased). Spice can also be used to deck out your alien avatar in some swanky threads viewable by friends in competitive and co-operative missions through Game Center.
As you level up, you get upgrade points (which can also be bought with spice) to customize your play style as you see fit - cheaper turrets, faster rate of fire or more mesmerizing disco music are just a few options. Spice Bandits lets you buy spice through in-app purchases, which also eliminates ads between levels.
On the iPad, Spice Bandits makes excellent use of the bigger screen, and the devs have made a lot of user interface changes so you can see more of the action. Spice Bandits also lets your port over your game progress from the iPhone version easily through their Crystal network and cloud saving; it's universal too, so there's only one download to manage across devices. Though the graphics aren't fully optimized for the new iPad, an update which partially optimizes them for the big Retina display is on the way.
Battle Nations
Battle Nations is a great mix of real-time strategy with lots of resource gathering and turn-based military combat. The goofy graphic style and hilarious dialog keep things fresh between firefights, and since resources are produced over the hours between sessions, you'll be checking in on your camp often. Battle Nations hosts player-versus-player combat with select friends, staged as "live fire excerises". You'll probably want to sink a reasonable amount of time into the single player campaign first so you can level up and unlock the advanced structures and units to reduce your buddies to piles of ash.
Battle Nations is monetized with Nanopods, which you can buy through in-app purchases, earn through gameplay, or be rewarded by watching video ads. These are used to hurry up production on particular tasks, like healing troops at the hospital or training new units. Nanopods are also used to to construct unique buildings, which are often just super-charged versions of standard ones.
There's no Retina Display support for the iPad just yet, but when zoomed out all the way, I find the graphics are still very sharp. There's supposed to be Game Center support for sharing achievements and whatnot, but it doesn't seem to be working right now. It would be handy to have that enabled for finding friends to play against, but I'm sure it's coming in due time. Finally, Battle Nations is universal, and syncs up gameplay across iOS devices thanks to the developer's own registration and cloud saving service.
Hero AcademyHero Academy is a turn-based, multiplayer-only tactical combat game that pits cartoony armies against one another. Each side gets five actions points every turn to move their troops, kit them out with gear, cast spells and otherwise attack opposing units on the board. Each online player (either random or a designated buddy) has one or more crystals they must defend while trying to destroy the other side's. You can also win by running your opponent out of reinforcements, as each side only gets so many of each type every game. Hero Academy includes The Council army (humans) for free, but charges for the others, such as Dwarves, Dark Elves and The Tribe (orcs). You can also pay for fancy army-themed avatars as well as taunts to make your soldiers jeer after a turn. On the iPad, Hero Academy supports cloud saving, Game Center, and is universal. Unfortunately, it isn't fully optimized for the new iPad's Retina display due to the ton of extra effort required to recreate their hand-drawn art assets. Robot Entertainment has their own registration process, so when you log in on other iOS devices, your purchases and current games are loaded in. Not much has changed looks-wise from the iPhone version, so some of the elements feel slightly oversized, but overall, the gameplay is solid as ever.
Best free shooter games for iPad
Gun Bros
Gun Bros is a dual-stick shoot-em-up where you and your brother-in-arms (either AI or through online multiplayer) blast through waves of incoming enemies across a variety of themed planets. Each level you earn coins to spend on guns and gear to change your damage output, speed, health, and other characteristics. You also gather up a mineral called Xplodium, which can be refined into coins; you can purchase higher grades of refineries which can provide a higher coin output. A recent update added the ability to turn on your bro and go head-to-head in deathmatch mode if you're feeling less than friendly.
Warbucks are a separate type of currency used to buy particularly high-end gear. You can earn them through in-app purchases, watching video ads, or converting a ton of the regular coins at the bank.
Even though Gun Bros isn't full optimized for the new iPad's Retina display, Game Center integration is great. If you've got friends that play, it's really easy to jump in with them for a few rounds, and you're actually offered greater mission rewards for playing with more friends. Gun Bros supports cloud saving and is universal to boot, which makes playing on both iPhone and iPad a breeze.
MetalStorm: Wingman
MetalStorm: Wingman is a flight combat game with full multiplayer support, AirPlay compatibility and accelerometer and swipe controls. As you play through the campaign mode, head-to-head multiplayer dogfight mode, or endless survival mode, you earn credits which can be used to buy various types of missiles, cannons, and new jets focusing on defense, agility, or firepower. Don't get too trigger-happy, since your ammunition is limited. If you're not into shooting down your buddies, you can also invite Game Center wingmen to play through the campaign levels co-operatively.
A lot of the hardware upgrades require you to use premium coins, which are sold in batches for $0.99 and up or earned through regular gameplay.
MetalStorm: Wingman has full support for the new iPad's Retina display, which is a welcome sight on this list. The co-op nature of the game also gets its hooks into Game Center for matchmaking, though I found cloud saving functions were inconsistent - be warned if you're prone to hopping between your iPad and iPhone a bunch.
Frontline Commando
Frontline Commando is an on-rails third-person shooter about a gung-ho military man left behind enemy lines. You dodge behind cover with single taps, and pop out to take aim and eliminate nonspecific middle eastern insurgents. Don't get too attached to that wall you're hiding behind though, since it can be destroyed as a firefight drags on, and grenades can quickly flush you out into the open. When you level up, new weapons are unlocked for purchase, plus you get a few bars of gold, which can be used to buy premium items. Weapon upgrades span assault weapons, sniper rifles, shotguns, and grenade launchers, each with their own set of damage, clip size, reload speed, and accuracy attributes.
You can also increase survivability with medkit purchases and body armor upgrades. When things get too hot, you can buy airstrikes to clear out the immediate area. Both "war cash" and gold can be bought through in-app purchases.
Frontline Commando performs great on the new iPad with full support for Game Center, cloud saving to keep your game synced up with your iPhone campaign, and they've just recently updated with Retina-optimized graphics, a new map, and fresh power-ups.
Best free sports games for iPad
Baseball Superstars 2012
Baseball Superstars 2012 is a whimsically exaggerated baseball game with Japanese-style characters and dialog. While the game keeps tabs on minute details, such as batting averages, running speed, stamina, and confidence levels, there are some more cartoony encounters with "super players" that wear outlandish costumes and wield the unlikeliest of powers. As a batter, you can control where you swing by tilting the iPad, but don't worry, you won't actually have to swing it like a bat - just tap the screen at the right moment. Pitching is done through a series of swipes within a target box. You'll encounter plenty of challenges, including injuries which require recuperation in a hospital, managing your team roster, and playing against friends online. Personally, I found this game impossibly hard when set on normal difficulty, but I'm positive baseball fans will appreciate the amount of detail in this game. After putting some time into Homerun Battle 2 Free, it's clear that Baseball Superstars 2012 is the top free baseball game on the iPad, but for more baseball-themed apps, check out our ballgame roundup over here.
Through in-app purchases, you can get G points, which are spent on character items, training sessions to improve your stats, or even buy whole levels for your batter or pitcher.
The pixelation oreplef the old-school graphics are really apparent on the iPad's larger display, but the animation remains high-quality. Game Center integration doesn't extend beyond achievement tracking, and while cloud saving is available, you have to make sure you have a Gamevil account active and manually upload game data to and from your iPhone.
NFL Pro 2012
NFL Pro 2012 is a full-fledged football game complete with leagues, playbooks, and extensive rosters based on real players and teams. Your players gain experience and level up as you go, letting you improve their stats in a number of areas, like run blocking, catching, awareness, and agility. Every down, you pick a play available (either offensive or defensive), and while you manually control one player, the AI handles the rest. Controls during play are dead simple, but most of your time will be spent flipping through and picking plays. Unfortunately, your selection is really limited to start, and it takes an obscene number of premium credits to permanently keep playbooks.
Every game you play uses up energy, which you can replenish over time or through in-app purchases. Experience points to level up your players can also be bought, along with credits to buy new playbooks, stadiums, gain access to new teams, divisions, and conferences, and extend quarter lengths.
Unfortunately, there's no cloud saving, though NFL Pro 2012 is a universal app. It doesn't seem like there's any update to Retina graphics, which are likely headed to EA's premium titles first. There isn't even any Game Center support, which makes me think NFL Pro 2012 is due for a big update soon.
Real Soccer 2012
Real Soccer 2012 offers a wide variety of gameplay types in a fast-paced, realstic package. The core controls are laid out with a standard virtual joystick and sprint, pass and shoot buttons, but progresses in complexity with fancy gesture-based maneuvers. You can unlock a variety of different cups, starting with International, and working your way to Asian, African, American, and European cups, plus there's regional league play unlocked as you play and level up. Just remember that you're limited by how many matches you can play by a stamina rating, which recovers over time. Loading screens have bits of trivia, and occasionally test your own football, err, soccer knowledge with a multiple choice quiz.
Playing Real Soccer 2012 earns you coins which can be used to purchase new soccer balls that provide a variety of different bonuses, like extra XP per match. "Cash" is Real Soccer 2012's premium currency, which can be traded in for international teams, additional stamina, team stat boosts, access a few select stadiums, and even the ability to clear all yellow cards.
On the iPad, Real Soccer 2012 boasts universal status, but no love with cloud saving, Game Center, or Retina iPad optimization. Real Soccer 2012 is in a tight race with Pro Evo Soccer 2012, which, though "lite" and saving most of its leagues and progression for paying customers, has a really great Flick Soccer-style penalty kick drill.
Best free casual games for iPad
Bejeweled Blitz
Bejeweled Blitz is a lightweight version of PopCap's famous gem-matching puzzle game. You're served up a board of colored jewels, and you can swap the position of any two that are next to each other with a tap or a swipe, but only if it lines up three or more of the same type. Matching sets then explode in glitter, serve up points, and as the the gems above drop down into place, more fall in from the top. The catch is that every round only lasts a minute, so the pressure is on to match up as many jewels as possible. PopCap keeps you coming back for more with a shot at a daily giveaway, the value of which increases by how many consecutive days you've played.
You earn coins through gameplay (which can also be bought through in-app purchases), which are spent on various pre-game power-ups and the occasional rare gem which can supercharge your next game in a number of flashy ways. Of course, if Bejewled Blitz isn't enough for you, there's the full iPhone version available for $0.99 with a bunch more game modes.
Bejeweled Blitz has graphics that are optimized for the new iPad's Retina display, is universal, and though there's no Game Center support, the game ties in very closely with its Facebook counterpart and lets you sync up your progress across devices that way.
Trainyard Express
Trainyard Express is a routing puzzle game where you simply have to draw down tracks to get trains from point A to point B. Things get tricky once you have to start merging trains, combining their colors to get to the right end-point, and deal with overlapping tracks switching at the right time.
Trainyard Express is one of the few "lite" titles on the list, meaning there's a full version available for $2.99. Even though the 60 stages in the free game might not seem like they have a lot of replay value once you solve them, there's an expert mode unlocked once you beat the game that keeps tabs on how many tracks you lay down and how long it takes for the trains to get to their destination.
Trainyard Express has a great, simple art style with assets that are optimized for the new iPad's Retina display, and there are no ads to boot. There's no Game Center support unfortunately, but you can share your unique puzzle solutions at Trainyard's website as well as on Facebook. There's also the option to switch players locally if someone else wants to solve the puzzles without seeing your solutions.
Temple Run
Temple Run is a dead-simple platform game where you sprint through ancient ruins while being chased by spirits displeased that you just swiped their idol. You turn corners, duck under obstacles, and leap over pits with swipe gestures while collecting coins along the way. There's a bit of accelerometer control, so you can snag coins in the middle or to the left or right side of corridors by tilting the iPad, but for the most part, you're just relying on twitch reflex swiping. Gameplay can be extremely bite-sized, but still amply rewarding.
The coins you collect while temple-running (or in-app purchasing) can earn you power-ups like speed boosts, new unlockable characters, and even exclusive wallpapers.
On the iPad, Temple Run fares reasonably well, offering the same fast-paced gameplay as the iPhone version, complete with Game Center leaderboards and achievements. The game's universal, and though my upgrade purchases transferred over, the game didn't seem to recognize the achievements I had earned. There's no word on whether the graphics have been updated for the new iPad's Retina display, but Temple Run still holds up extremely well in the looks department for casual gameplay.
Best free physics games for iPad
Cut the Rope: Experiments Free HD
Cut the Rope: Experiments Free HD is a popular game that involves dropping a piece of candy into a hungry green creature's mouth by slicing rope with swipe gestures. While the candy's dangling and swinging, you use nearby tools such as suction cups and air puffers to move it around obstacles, like hungry spiders and destructive spikes. If you can get the candy to pass through any of the three stars on the level before feeding Om Nom, you gain bonus points and bragging rights, but they are strictly optional objectives.
Though you only get 12 levels in the free version, the full game with 125 levels is only $1.99.
Cut the Rope: Experiments Free HD on the iPad supports iCloud sync and Game Center, which might not be particularly useful for such a short game, but at least it's there if you end up shelling out for the full version. We actually experienced some severe wonkiness playing the standard Cut the Rope Free HD game on the new iPad; not only is it not optimized for the high-resolution display, but the game can't even render properly on a big Retina screen. On the plus side, Experiments runs fine, despite also being unoptimized.
Fruit Ninja HD Lite
Fruit Ninja is a well-known slice-and-dice game where you swipe through various kinds of fruit as they sail through the air. You get bonus points for chopping through four or more fruit at once, but you have to make sure to avoid the bombs that get tossed in every now and then.
In the free version, you get Classic mode in which you only get to let three fruit hit the ground. The paid version, available for $2.99 (currently on sale for $0.99), includes a Zen mode where you cut up as much fruit as you can within a limited time frame, split-screen multiplayer, and special fruit like the freeze banana, which slows the movement of everything on the screen, making for easy targets.
The Fruit Ninja experience really excels on the big screen, despite not being a universal app (and thus no cloud sync) and graphics that haven't been updated for the new iPad. The core gameplay is there, and so is Game Center support, which is all you really need to show fruit who's boss.
Angry Birds Free
Angry Birds is the quintessential physics game for iOS, wherein a group a birds suicidally fling themselves into rickety buildings so that the pigs inside that stole their eggs can suffer a terrible, terrible demise. Every level you get a selection of birds that you slingshot towards structures at varying angles and velocities. The birds available each level can have different properties - for example, the yellow one dive-bombs when you tap the screen while it's in mid-flight, while the blue one splits into three. You're scored based on how few birds you use to clear the level, as well as how much destruction you cause in the process. The only thing that really matters is that all of the pigs in each level get eliminated.
The free version of Angry Birds gives you a total of 24 levels, but you'll need to drop $2.99 in order to get tons more. Keep mind that there are a lot of different free versions of Angry Birds available, including a seasonal one and one based on the Disney movie Rio. Try 'em both if you're looking for variety. Keep in mind that you'll have to put up with some pretty obnoxious banner ads while you play the free versions.
Angry Birds is a lot easier to play on the iPad since you've got more room to adjust angle and the strength of your slingshot. So far, it looks like only Angry Birds Space is optimized for the Retina iPad, unfortunately. Rovio is particularly bad about charging extra for the "HD" versions of their titles, so don't expect a universal version any time soon.
Best free action games for iPad
Jetpack Joyride
Jetpack Joyride is a side-scrolling evasion game with simple one-button controls and a great sense of style. You play as a rebellious bureaucrat named Barry who's tired of the work at his top-secret military lab, and decides to snag the company's experimental jetpack for a jaunt through the facilities. Holding your finger on the screen puts the gas on the jetpack, letting you elevate over obstacles such as laser security systems and incoming missiles. Along the way, you'll also be able to snag other experimental vehicles, including the Crazy Freaking Teleporter, and the Profit Bird which is powered by pure concentrated sarcasm.
You're rewarded coins based on how far you make it through before wiping out, but can also pick up loose coins throughout the level. You even earn more through completing missions, like high-fiving the scrambling scientists on the ground floor. Those coins (which are also available through in-app purchases) are spent on new jetpacks, outfits, and recently gadgets.
Jetpack Joyride will be sharp as a pin on the new iPad thanks to Retina-optimized graphics, plus there's Game Center support for leaderboards and achievements. It's a universal app, but I've had mixed results with cloud sync; it managed to get my rank and cash from my iPhone game, but didn't register some of my previous gadget purchases.
Wind-up Knight
Wind-up Knight is a whimsical running game where you're on a gallant quest to save the princess, as is often the case. The hero continually moves forward, while you're in charge of slaying evil chickens, protecting your little toy head from falling debris with a shield, leaping over yawning chasms, and rolling under treacherous traps. You have to make sure to be speedy too, since the knight is only wound up so much, and he'll run out of steam if you dally or don't pick up fresh cranks.
Gathering all of the coins in a level and finding a hidden cards rewards you with notes which can be spent on items like new helmets and swords. As you might expect, those notes are also purchasable through the App Store. Though you're welcome to buy later levels through in-app purchases (and they push a 30%-off bundle deal pretty aggressively in your first play-through), you can unlock them if you absolutely master every chapter in each book. This is really challenging though, which will be a turn-off for casual players that aren't willing to pay for the other books, but a great incentive for hardcore gamers.
Wind-up Knight enjoys seamless iCloud sync and is a Universal app, so you can keep playing on your iPhone while away from the iPad. Game Center is around for the sake of achievements, but there's nothing in the way of multiplayer, which is too bad, because I'd love to see how my friends kit out their knight and their top scores on each level as I'm playing it.
Despite its kid-friendly graphics (which are polished and gorgeous, though only partially optimized for iPad-sized Retina displays), Wind-up Knight has some great grown-up humor; even if you're pretty sure you won't buy the later books, it's worth giving a try just for the GeoCastles gag.
Cordy Sky
Cordy Sky is a jumping game where you're an adorable little robot trying to get from the ground of an alien planet to a docked spaceship so you can continue on your intergalactic mission. Small bouncy platforms aid your ascension, but be careful, otherwise you drop down to the earth and have to start all over again. Luckily, you have a fellow robot called Volt that can grab you if you drop too far, but only if you've collected the appropriate token while climbing skyward. Your trip is split up into five sections, the end of each being marked by a fuel cell you need to get the spaceship running again. Controls are are either through virtual buttons, tilt, or swiping. I prefer to use tap controls on the iPad version rather than tilt, but the option's all yours.
As you go, you collect gears, which can buy one-time boosts, permanent power-ups, or vanity costumes. Of course, you can always just buy gears through in-app purchases, but you can get by perfectly well on your own. Don't let the cute graphics fool you, though - this game has plenty of challenge to it.
Cordy Sky on the iPad is universal, and I managed to get the important stuff imported from my iPhone game. A stray forum mention said that the game was updated to optimize the graphics for the new iPad, but I haven't been able to find any official confirmation.
Best free role-playing games for iPad
Dark Legends
Dark Legends is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game set in a modern world of vampires, zombies, and other supernatural menaces. It's made by the same guys behind Pocket Legends, but this iteration is decidedly more gory. The branching quest structure is simple, and has a nice combination of time-based tasks with static rewards, and combat missions that you can enjoy through either online multiplayer or solo gameplay. The control scheme is the standard virtual joystick layout with quick access to vampire powers on one side, including a one that lets you pounce on an enemy and drain them dry once you've worked up enough bloodthirst with your melee weapons. When you're not questing, there are shared areas in which you can hang around and shop, as well as player versus player arenas where you can test your mettle.
Going through missions uses up limited energy, which regenerates over time, or you can instantly recharge with the premium platinum currency. Platinum can also be used to buy some pretty classy-looking vanity items.
Although the polygon count isn't particularly high in Dark Legends, the textures are optimized for the new iPad. There's no Game Center support, but since you're logging on through a separate account whenever you play, you can pick up and drop off between iPad and iPhone as you see fit.
Six-Guns is an open-world multiplayer western. You embark on missions for beleaguered commonfolk, handling the likes of bandits and supernatural nasties to bring some iotum of peace to the wild west. Combat is straightforward third-person revolver shooting with a virtual joystick and a few buttons. You're rewarded for your deeds, of course, and can use the coin you earn to equip new weapons, fresh threads, and buy new horses to expedite your trips between towns.
In addition to being able to buy in-game currency through in-app purchases, you can also get Sheriff Stars, which access high-end gear and auto-complete missions, though you can also earn them through watching ads. You're even able to buy experience points and health boosts, if you're having trouble getting through a particular quest.
Six-Guns is optimized for the new iPad's Retina display, and since you're logging in through Gameloft's service, there's no problem picking up where you left off on any iOS device.
Heroes vs Monsters
Heroes versus Monsters is a party-based hack-and-slash fantasy role playing game with simple controls, a cute style, and tons of customizability. You command a party of four heroes with an intuitive drag-and-release control scheme. All of your standard classes are there, like warriors to soak up the damage, clerics to keep them alive, and various kinds of damage-dealers ranging from archers to fire mages. Scouring the world, you find new monsters to slay, more loot to plunder, more heroes to recruit, and along the way you gain experience, level up, and unlock powers best-suited to your playstyle through an extensive tree of powers.
The coins you earn through gameplay let you buy phat new equipment for your party, but you can also buy your gold pieces through in-app purchases. All of the gear you equip is nicely represented on your heroes. The only real downside I've seen so far are that you'll also have to deal with an ad along the bottom which so far as been for the same app time and again. It's also worth noting that Heroes vs Monsters is pretty much a complete clone of a premium title called Battleheart; if you're willing to shell out three bucks, you might rather it go to the those who cooked up the original idea.
There's also a significant border around the outside, which I assume is a relic from the iPhone port, since there's no support for the high-res Retina display on the new iPad. There's Game Center support anyhow, and it's universal, but no cloud syncing, unfortunately.
Best free racing games for iPad
Forever Drive
Forever Drive is a sharp, polygonal top-down racing game with a cool abstract art style. The controls are simple and fluid, with options for tilt, tap, or d-pad. You're scored based on how many stars you pick up and how tightly you hug highlighted shoulders, but don't get too wild; you have a limited amount of time to get through as many tracks as possible. That means you need to drive smart and avoid the civilian traffic that explode in a Tron-esque display if you so much as nudge them.
One of the core elements of Forever Drive is the track builder. It's pretty simple - you draw a line from one end of a square to the other, pepper some scenery along the sides, and the highlighted turns, varied elevation, stars, and extra traffic are added in automatically. You then have the option to share these tracks online, which then randomly compose the arcade mode of other players. When you play, you get fed a series of user-built tracks which you can rate up or down after you're done driving them.
There are also weekly leagues where you have a chance to win in-game currency, with which you can buy a few unlocks, but the vast majority of car bodies, variations, and paint jobs are earned by gaining experience points throughout gameplay. If you're impatient, you can always buy credits through in-app purchases.
Forever Drive is a universal app with cloud saving, so no worries about saving your progress on the iPhone version. Game Center leaderboards are supported, plus OpenFeint if you're into that kind of thing. There aren't big-screen Retina graphics just yet, as the developer just got the new iPad recently, but maybe we'll see an upgrade soon.
Road Warrior Racing Free
Road Warrior Racing Free is a side-scrolling racing game set in a gritty Mad Max-style future. As you race through arid badlands, you try to make use of your car's side-mounted miniguns, missile launchers, and other assorted weaponry to take out the competition, while hoping they don't do the same to you. You don't have to worry about acceleration while playing since the game puts the foot the floor for you automatically; all you have to worry about is blowing up anybody who tries to pass you and possibly doing a sweet frontflip while diving off a mesa. You're offered up a variety of different maps every time you play, each one with a different level of difficulty and special rules, like no weapons.
You earn in-game cash as you play, which can be spent on new weapons, armor upgrades, new chassis, paint jobs, and lots of other items to pimp your ride. Of course, you can also buy the in-game cash to speed up your advancement.
Right now, Game Center support is limited to leaderboards, but the developer is promising live multiplayer soon - it's already on Android. It doesn't seem like there's any cloud saving support even though it's a universal app, but that hardly puts a dent in Road Warrior Racing's badassery.
GT Racing: Motor Academy Free+ HD
Motor Academy Free is a more down-to-earth, mostly-realistic racing game. Starting off, you earn various licenses by learning how to drive different classes of cars. After that, you're off to the races, winning tours, special invitation events, and completing contracts. The coins you earn there let you buy a variety of recognized brand-name cars, like Bugatti, BMW, Bentley, Jaguar, Ford, Chevrolet, and Audi. They even kindly give you the option to rent cars for a round if you don't have enough to buy it outright. Even this racing game has some RPG mechanics in it, including quests which you complete, and leveling up to unlock new cars and courses.
Coins are earned through regular gameplay, while in-game cash is mostly bought through in-app purchases, which you can trade in for new cars or select upgrades to parts like brakes and suspension.
There's no cloud syncing here, so get comfortable playing on either your iPad or iPhone for the long haul. There's also no Game Center hooks, but Gameloft still does a decent job of handling online multiplayer on their own.
Best free board games for iPad
Poker by Zynga
Poker by Zynga is a simple but polished Texas Hold 'em game for iPad and plays cross-platform with folks on Facebook. The game has been out for a long time, so boasts a full feature set - you can add friends, find tables within your comfort range, and even give other players gifts for display, like drinks, or a box of tissues if they're having a particularly rough run. The one downside to Poker by Zynga is that you'll have to have a Wi-Fi connection active in order to play, and as fun as it is playing with real people, they can just as often be aggravating.
Though you're given a stack of chips to start, and can earn more through various ads and daily giveaways, you'll have to shell out real cash for chips when you run out, just like a real casino.
The iPad version of Poker by Zynga doesn't use Game Center since it relies on its well-established Facebook users to keep playing, and there's no mention of Retina iPad support, but it's not particularly needed to enjoy the game. Keeping up with games across iPad and iPhone was easy as pie since they're both connected through your Facebook account.
Shadow Era
Shadow Era is an unabashed homage to Magic: The Gathering, a fantasy tradeable card game where two heroes command armies and arcane powers to slay their opponents. Every turn, you're given the option to discard a card, which adds to your resource pile. The more resources you have, the more allies you can summon and spells you can cast from your hand. Creatures under your control have power and health values which can be influenced with enchantments, but the real fight is between each side's individual hero cards. Each one has 20 health, and whoever dies first loses.
Shadow Era sells booster packs and whole decks of cards through in-app purchases, which you can mix and match as you like to create a deck best suited to your play style. You can also earn the premium in-game currency just by playing and leveling up.
On the iPad, there's a ton of screen real estate which allows you to see the whole board at once with minimal camera angle switching. The card graphics have been fully optimized for the new iPad's Retina display, plus on top of standard Game Center support, Shadow Era has its own cross-platform multiplayer network so you can play with your cards no matter which device you happen to be using.
BoardBoxBoardBox is a highly-polished collection of classic board games, including chess, checkers, go, tic-tac-toe, reversi and backgammon. There are a bunch of interesting variants, including some more exotic games like Chinese chess, and a handful of very nicely rendered boards and pieces to pick from. There's a handy little sidebar included which lets you save games and look up rules through the Wikipedia article. On the downside, there's no AI player for those days that you're on your own, and when it's eventually included, it will be an in-app purchase to activate. At least all you really have to put up with are small banner ads at the bottom of the screen, which can be disabled for $5.99 (which seems like a lot to me). There's no iPhone version of BoardBox, so you'll have to take the whole iPad with you to play on the road. Though there's no Game Center support, online multiplayer is available over e-mail - clunky, but it works.
Best free word games for iPad
Charadium II HD FreeCharadium II HD is another take on Pictionary where you try to draw something after picking one of a small group of words, and your partner online has to guess what it is. Both players are rewarded points for how quickly they answer, and can even lose points if it takes too long, but at least you're given hangman-style hints as time goes on. Stars are showcased in your profile, which are given by other players that are particularly impressed with you. Charadium II Free is a really nice alternative to Draw Something, and in my opinion, the better option of the two for a number of reasons. For one, Charadium II replays are viewable online, which allows you to share them on Facebook or wherever else you like. Secondly, Charadium II doesn't try to nickel-and-dime you for individual colors; once you upgrade from the free version, not only do you get a full pallette, but also a bunch of different brushes, letting you get really creative. Finally, there are lots of great game modes, including live public rooms where anyone who's online can jump in and guess what's being drawn, private games with your personal friends, and the standard drawn-out turn-based matches. Besides having the usual "lite" version trappings of holding features hostage, you'll also have to deal with the occasional video ad and banner. At least they don't harass you for microtransactions. The full version isn't insanely priced, though a tad high at $2.99. Game Center is ripe with achievements for this one, and as you plow through them, you go up ranks (which don't seem to do much of anything other than look pretty in your profile). Charadium II HD Free supports the new iPad's Retina display, so your fine artistry and that of others will really pop on the big screen. It's not universal, but I don't think this is the kind of game you really want to be playing on your iPhone anyway.
Words with Friends HD FreeWords with Friends pits you against friends on Facebook and elsewhere to a friendly word scramble game where you're given a set of tiles with letters (each with a corresponding score), and you have to arrange them on a board to make the best word you can. The board is peppred with bonus squares which can multiply the value of letters or whole words if you're lucky enough to land on them. Each side goes back and forth planting words and picking up new tiles until the whole board is full or there are no more new tiles to draw. Although I understand that Words with Friends is the most popular and polished Scrabble-ish game available for iOS, and as a wordy dude, I should be into these kinds of games, I actually hate them with a burning passion. Why? Because people win by jamming letters together for the highest points, and hoping the server accepts whatever they put in. In that way, I definitely prefer real Scrabble, since you're relying on proper vocabulary skills and only occasionally having to put up with friends pulling seemingly made-up words out of thin air; in Words with Friends and all video games like it, obtuse words outside of any normal vocabulary are the norm. That said, even if you're losing, odds are good you will learn all sorts of new obscure words - just don't expect the round's outcome as any kind of reflection of skill. Words with Friends HD is monetized through ads and two kinds of in-game purchases: the Word-O-Meter, which helps you find better words, and the Tile Pile, which can let you know which letters are still left to pick up. Of course, they'll also kindly remind you to upgrade to the ad-free pro version for $2.99. In any case, It's great being able to see the whole board on the iPad version; on the iPhone you're continually zooming in and out. There's no Game Center here, but Words with Friends HD Free is cross-platform with Facebook, which opens up your pool of opponents considerably. Despite not being universal, a common log-in system means you can pick up your matches across devices and stay in sync.
Prose with Bros FreeProse with Bros is best described as online competitive fridge poetry. Two partners, either found through Facebook or a random pairing, are given the same set of 50 words. They have to arrange those words into the most interesting combination possible, and once submitted, other players get to vote on which of the two they prefer. Random pairs show up for you to judge as soon as you launch the game; you can even have a creepy robot voice read the entries out loud to you. After 12 hours of voting, the winner is decided. Even if you don't win, you can still earn Kudos from other users, which are shown off in your profile. Previous prose is saved in the cloud for posterity, just in case you need to show it off later. I'm a huge fan of this game, and have seen some pretty hilarious phrases cobbled together. The best part about Prose with Bros is that there isn't any catch - no microtransactions, no ads, no nothing, just fun. There used to be a paid and an ad-supported version, but they took out the ads in the last update in April. Why? Maybe they hate money. I'm cool with that. Prose with Bros is universal and syncs games nicely across devices once you're registered. There's no Game Center support to help you hook up with other iOS bros, but finding them through the Facebook integration is easy enough. The graphics aren't exactly mind-blowing, but you don't need much for a word game.
Best free simulation games for iPad
GodFinger All-StarsGodFinger All-Stars is a fun little world control game where you tend to a little planet full of villagers. By spinning around a cross-section view, you make sure they're happy and productive, and check in on them time to time to collect the gold they generate. That gold goes to upgrading their homes which can house more people, who then, in turn, produce more money. Of course, you have to tend to their needs, like providing rain and sun for the farms, as well as altars to worship you from. To accomplish all of this, you execute gesture-based miracles with long presses and swipes. These miracles burn up Awe points, which regenerate over time, or can be bought through the app store. GodFinger All-Stars recently included a fun little endless climber side-game where you can earn some additional gold by hurling one of your followers through the heavans. Over time, you complete missions, gain experience points, and expand the surface area of your planet. You can have a lot of fun around your world by raising and lowering the ground, decorating the area, and flinging your hapless devotees beyond the horizon. Godfinger All-Stars isn't universal, but it saves all of your log-in information on their own network, and lets you visit the planets made by your friends, even without Game Center support. It doesn't seem like things are optimized for the new iPad just yet, but these guys put a ton of emphasis on graphics, so I expect an upgrade soon.
The Sims FreePlayThe Sims FreePlay is a classic life simulation game where you tend to a collection of virtual people, each with a variety of needs and colorful spectrum of personality quirks. You do everything from steering their conversations with other Sims, decorating their home, getting them to work, and making sure they bathe regularly. A recent update even added the ability to play as and care for child Sims. As you guide your Sim to accomplish daily tasks, you gain experience points, level up, and unlock new items. Unlike the old Sims games that had a handy fast-forward button, activities in The Sims FreePlay all happen in real-time, so when you put your little people to sleep, they're gone for 8 real hours. As you play, you earn Lifestyle Points, which can be used to immediately satisfy your Sim's needs and quickly complete tasks. Those can be bought through in-app purchases, alongside the game's currency, Simoleans, which your Sims earn through various kinds of work. The UI is scaled very nicely to the iPad, but unfortunately the graphic elements aren't optimized for the new iPad yet. Also, I didn't have any luck getting my saved progress from the iPhone version over to the iPad, so don't count on any cloud sync here.
My ClinicMy Clinic is a comic hospital business sim where you manage and staff a fledgling facility, treat incoming patients, and research new treatments. The ailments you treat range the whole spectrum of goofiness, such as emergency calls for sore throats and dealing with broken nails of debutantes. At any given time, you'll have a random assortment of patients that you can chose to see, each with varying treatment times, experience rewards, medicine costs, and payment structures. Patients have one or more critical moments throughout their treatment time where you can buy and apply specialty medicine to speed up recovery time. Once treated, you get paid based on how quickly you treat the patient. The more often you treat a particular case, the better your doctors get at it, and can finish them lightning-fast once they become experts. As you complete missions, you're regularly rewarded with various power-ups, which can improve staff efficiency, speed up equipment delivery time of new equipment, help you find new doctors more quickly. Earning experience points and leveling up will unlock new types of patients that visit your hospital, as well as the research paths and equipment to treat them. The game developers are based in Russia, so every once in awhile you'll see some broken English, but on the whole, these guys have managed to strike a great level of humor and sufficiently tweaked the FarmVille game mechanic to keep things interesting. You occasionally earn gold coins through gameplay, though they're primarily used as premium currency that you buy with in-app purchases. Coins can speed up task completion, be used to buy vanity items for the front of your hospital, and a few other odd higher-end items. There's only an iPad version of My Clinic, so no bouncing back and forth with your iPhone, unfortunately. Game Center support is included so you can create medical associations with your buddies, and hire them in your hospital. That way, you earn a cut from their cashflow if they're lower level than you. There's no mention of Retina iPad support, but as is, the game looks just fine.

Best free iPad games
I'm not a huge trivia guy myself, but I'll dig into it for version 2.0. :) I'm actually curious to try out You Don't Know Jack HD Lite now...
Well if you'd prefer I could call it one of the best free puzzle apps then. =) #25 on iPad puzzle charts right now. Thanks for checking it out.
Can't believe you made such a huge list and missed out PewPew: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pewpew/id314964252?mt=8

hey isheeple check this out http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/02/if-android-is-a-stolen-produc...
Wow, nice post. Will tweet.
Thanks for the great guide - I'm excited to try some of these!
Just a possible suggestion for another category which may have repeats, but would be great to gather in one spot: Party titles. Whether they're multiplayer apps (like Scrabble with the Tile Rack app for players) or things that utilize AirPlay Mirroring to take advantage of an Apple TV (racing games where the iOS becomes the controller or FPS where the players use the iOS device and split-screen on the TV), it would be great to have a catalog of available, quality titles. Free or Freemium or Paid, just something organized and thoughtful to help!
This probably ties in a Trivia category too, but this could be the drawing/Pictionary types games, or the Monopoly-type games, or even the card games; just something with a group dynamic. I've really struggled finding apps that are great for small get togethers, and it seems incredibly old-fashioned now to pull out a board game or a stack of trivia cards and pass a piece of paper around the room; especially while we're all on our iPhones when it's not our turns anyway!
Love the catalog. Thanks for providing it!

I put my site and email in the allocated spaces. Is this acceptable? I hope this is allright. TheVeryBest2You 13 7
You should warn parents that most of the "free" games on your list allow (i.e. encourage) the purchase of "coins" or other items so parents could get stuck with a bill in the hundreds of dollars for a "free" game.
I don't begrudge free enterprise, but most of these games come with risk of cost.
Fantastic collection of free games for the iPad!

"God's purposes are so vast and glorious, beyond all guessing now, that when they are achieved and consummated, all our sufferings and sorrows of today, even the agonies that nearly break our faith, the disasters that well nigh overwhelm us, shall, seen from that fair country where God's age long dreams come true, bulk as little as bulk now the pieces of a broken toy upon a nursery floor, over which, thinking that all our little world was in ruins, we cried ourselves to sleep."Dr. Leslie Weatherhead
