  * DOOM
  * SpaceMarshals: Turn based team shooter games can be fun
  * Space Age: The graphics remind me of the original XCOM games
  * Legend of Grimrock: Looks like old "Lands of Lore" games?
Occasionally I'll see something on the App Store that strikes my fancy. But usually I just check out TouchArcade every month or so and see what the top rated stuff is and go from there. I end up with a lot of older games that way, but it's all NewToMe™ So that works.

The one routinely annoying thing on the iPad Pro: When it wants to capitalize something, it's gonna do it, like it or not. Back-spacing, holding SHIFT and typing the letter again has no effect. See the "So" up there. The only way to get around it I've found is to type the letter twice, then cursor back and remove the capitalized one.

I'm not sure if it's an option in auto-correct settings I can disable but it's not enough of a nuisance to bother to check yet so there's that.
