The title is also running on the refined Baldur's Gate II Infinity Engine, allowing gamers to experience the original adventure with the sequel's refined graphics options and other engine tweaks.
IGN reports that the new version of thegame will feature new content, more quests and a new party member. The early build of the iPad version runs smoothly though the interface has not yet been revamped to be more touch friendly. Those changes are still in the works, though pinch and zoom has already been implemented. The iPad version is expected to launch this summer.

There are very large catalogs of adventure/rpg/strategy game that would work very nicely.
The ipad also has a native aspect ratio that matches many older computer games.
I hope that this is a success that compells other developers/publishers to rethink their old library of games that are currently doing nothing.
Baldurs gate will be great on touch screen. Ideal candidate for touch interface.
