Clash of Clans is a free to play iOS game developed by Supercell. Clash of Clans is compatible on the iPhone, iTouch, and iPad platforms. The premise of the game is to establish a base and protect it by building up defenses. Erect walls, build cannons, and various types of towers. After you feel secure or after your shield burns out, you can attack other players and steal their loot. This game is very fun and very addicting. Please make sure you keep your charger around. While you are online you cannot be attacked, but if the screen falls asleep and you don't have a shield you will be. This could easily be rated a five star game, but I have a few points to knock off. First, it is an iOS game only. I do have an iTouch and an iPad, but they are only Wi-Fi and not 3G. 3G users get to manage their villages at anytime. If this game were available on the Android devices, I would get much play time logged into it. Second, gems are a valuable asset to have when you can find them. Being a free to play game, the option to buy more with real world money is available. This allows for the players that hav the means to purchase will always have an edge over the non-paying players. The ability to purchase gems with in the games economy should have been considered in the game design. Personally, I would have done something along the lines of making the players buy gems with gold AND elixir. For instance, 100,000 gold and 100,000 elixir would buy 10 gems. Finally, finding friends should be a little easier. They only way to find friends are by searching for the clans name or sifting through the leader boards. This game is perfect to have for your iPad and is the best experience over the iTouch and iPhones.
