    Omium - 2 Player Shooter

    by NimbleBit

    Omium is one of the more unique multiplayer games available for the iPad. Think of it like Space Invaders, except one player gets to control the ship, while the other player takes control of the invaders (or, affectionately called in this game, the 'Bad Guys'). Make sure you have two players ready to go for this game: there's no single player mode.

    Hit Tennis 2

    by Focused Apps

    Hit Tennis 2 deserves some points for pulling off, for the most part, a legitimate two player tennis game. At first glance, the game looks a bit odd, but after laying the iPad down on a flat surface and training yourself to focus only on your side of the screen, the game actually does a good job of pulling off the multiplayer.

    MultiPong

    by Febo Studio

    MultiPong is an interesting take on the traditional Pong game, but expands the playing field to include up to four people playing the game at the same time. How does Pong play with four people? Pretty crazily, to be honest. Add in powerups (including multiball!), a single player mode, and a pretty decent graphics and physics engine, and you have a decent game for a group of people to play.

    Foosball HD

    by Illusion Labs

    Foosball HD is currently the best Foosball game on the AppStore. Designed for multiplayer, the game allows up to four simultaneous players in two on two play. Some argue that the controls are hard to learn initially, but all it takes is practice to eventually master them. Toss in a very nice physics system, and decent graphics and music, and Foosball HD may just be what you need to relive your college dorm experience.

    Dizzypad HD

    by NimbleBit

    DIzzyPad HD offers several additional modes as in-game purchases. The best is a multiplayer battle mode that has two players guiding their own frogs across lily pads with the goal being to eat the other player's frog as many times as possible. Timing and reflexes are crucial to win out in this multiplayer game.

    SCRABBLE for iPad

    by Electronic Arts

    Scrabble for iPad in itself isn't a split-screen multiplayer game. But toss in a few iPhones or iPod Touches with the Scrabble Tile Rack app, and you instantly have up to four gamers playing Scrabble at the same time hooked on your iPad while using the iPhone/Touch. Sounds excessive, but it really is an interesting and fun experience.

    Music Library Quiz (for iPad)

    by Andrea Vettori

    Music Library Quiz is a pretty decent trivia app that plays songs from your library and tests you on either their cover art, song title, artist, or album title. Split screen multiplayer means that two folks can go head to head against the same song library and see who can answer the questions the fastest. A fun diversion for the musically-inclined.

    LED Football Player vs. Player

    by touchGrove, LLC

    LED Football Player vs. Player is a faithful representation of the classic 1978 LED game. In addition to satisfying any nostalgia urges, this app also supports two-player simultaneous play with one player taking the offense, and the other player taking defense. Definitely one of the more interesting games to check out.

    Glow Hockey 2 HD

    by Natenai Ariyatrakool

    While MultiPong focuses more on power-ups and unique upgrades such as the four player same device mode, Glow Hockey 2 is all about providing as much customizability as possible to the old school, table hockey game. Providing a ton of different themes, paddles, pucks, and multiplayer modes (including two players on one device), Glow Hockey 2 is sure to have something for everyone.

    Spit (aka Speed)

    by Josh Yudaken

    Spit is an iPad take on the popular two player card game called Speed. Seeing how Speed is based entirely on reflex and superior perception, I was interested in how the iPad kept up with fast hand movements. Overall, it gets the job done, but there were some times when the iPad didn't pick up movements from one or both players. However, fans of Speed (and have someone else to play with) may find this App worth checking out.

    UNO™ HD

    by Gameloft

    While not strictly a real-time multiplayer App, Uno still allows up to four players to play the same game on one iPad. Unfortunately, there's some fundamental flaws with the implementation. Seeing as how part of the game is being able to hide your cards, Uno employs a type of honor code in which players aren't supposed to easily peer over to another corner of the iPad to see cards when it's not their turn. However, if you can get past this, the actual gameplay is decent.
