Five games that will shine on your new iPad 2

New hardware inside the iPad 2 changes the playing field for games on tablet computers. This is a very good thing for both serious gamers and casual players.

Features like the gyroscope (which enables 360-degree motion control), a rear-facing camera and a faster A5 dual-core processor introduce capabilities only previously available on the iPhone 4. We had the chance to demo the iPad 2 after its unveiling in San Francisco to get a first-hand look at how some of our favorite games will be transformed.

Here are five classic games that will be made new again on the iPad 2.

Real Racing 2 HD $9.99

Firemint’s ambitious racing game is among the most technologically advanced titles available on any device. The iPhone version allows for 16-player online races, as well as a similar single-player mode. And while Firemint was working on an iPad-compatible version in Real Racing 2 HD just like it did with the original, the developer wasn’t planning to do much in the way of altering the core of the game. That is until it saw the iPad 2 and what it was capable of creating. Today Firemint unveiled a version of the game specific to the iPad 2 that takes advantage of the A5 chip’s purported nine-times increase in graphical capabilities. After seeing the iPad 2 in action, it’s likely that Firemint’s expanded Real Racing 2 HD iPad app could be the best-looking game on the platform. Owners of the original iPad should also see improved performance.

The "Hannah Montana" alum will host "Saturday Night Live" this weekend. Buzzy promos show Miley mocking herself: Just like the spoof of her from the "SNL" sketch called "The Miley Cyrus Show," the 18-year-old calls the hosting gig "pretty cool."It was a short getaway, but Sean Penn and Scarlett Johansson made the most of it.
The pair left on a private jet from Van Nuys airport Tuesday morning, then were spotted having dinner in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, that night, according to sources. Early Wednesday morning, they returned to Los Angeles where Johansson is shooting the film "We Bought a Zoo" with Matt Damon.

On the menu during their Mexican meal? Penn, 50 and Johansson, 26, reportedly enjoyed lobster and, of course, margaritas.

Earlier this week, the twosome were seen sharing a casual lunch at the popular Los Angeles Cuban restaurant, Versailles, where Johansson had her leg draped over Penn.
On February 5, the couple raised eyebrows when they stayed unusually close to each other at a party celebrating "Black Swan" at the L.A. hotspot Sunset Tower Hotel, then reportedly left together.

"They were flirting with each other all night, pretty much ignoring everyone else," a source told PEOPLE at the time.

Johansson's rep told PEOPLE at the time that they the two werenot dating.

Neither of their reps have commented on the pair's most recent sightings.

Johansson and Ryan Reynolds, 34, split in December after two years of marriage. In August of 2009, Robin Wright, 44, filed for divorce from Penn. The couple had been married 13 years.
