FPS on the iPad, opinions please

Has anyone bought any of the many FPS out there for the iPad? BIA 2, NOVA, Modern Combat, etc?

FPS didn't fly on the iPhone, I'm wondering if it is any better on the iPad.

I think that in general, the iPhone screen size is too small to accomodate the numerous buttons and HUD in most FPS games. I found it frustrating to try and see the game with my fingers obscuring a third of the screen. The gameplay videos for NOVA and BIA look great on the iPad, although I haven't tried them yet.

Re: FPS on the iPad, opinions please

I've played Call of Duty: Zombies and Duke Nukem 3D on the iPad. And although I'm a huge fan of FPS games both on consoles and PC.... I just could not get used to the touch screen controls. I wish I could, I'd love to play those games. But I felt super handi-capped with the controls. Perhaps I'm just terrible at picking up this control scheme. I felt like I was spending way too much time aiming. It was like my character was drunk.
