I-Pad - Games

Hope some of you kind people can help.

I have recently bought an I-Pad and want to play the games that I currently play on Facebook (on laptop), however they won't load on the I-Pad. I know that I can buy the Apps but wanted to continue the games I am currently playing on FB.

Someone suggested it may be because I-Pad 2 doesn't have Flash, if this is the case can I get round it?

As you have probably guessed I am not very computer minded, so a simple "untechie" explanation needed please!! lol.

    Some facebook games have their own ipad App that links with facebook.

    Others don't and there is little you can do except hope the software company will provide an App in the future.

    No reason why some have and some haven't. Bejeweled Blitz has and Zuma Blitz hasn't. Shrugs.

    You're correct in that a lot of popular facebook games use flash and so won't run on the iPad. There's no workaround for this unless (as silver car said) they have an app available.

    Have you considered looking for new games to play? SavyGamer seems like a good place to start.
