$9.99
No prizes for guessing why this one is in at number one, although it has to be said that $9.99 for something that's ultimately quite limited is quite steep. It's a single map from World at War, and it has zombies in it. It's online, it's four-player multiplayer, and it's fun.
$2.99
Pop Cap dropped in Facebook Connect code, and then added the ferociously addictive Bejeweled Blitz mode that's so popular on Facebook itself. Not familiar? You have to get the most points in one minute, and you're ranked against your friends. Begin playing at your peril...you will love hours, and hours of your life.
$6.99
The Sims juggernaut shows absolutely no signs of slowing down. The iPhone version is remarkably full-featured, and includes 73 different goals and wishes for your characters.
$4.99
Released this past weekend, this is the good old fashioned version of Monopoly, and it includes four-player multiplayer over Wi-Fi or by passing the iPhone around. Alternatively it has a three-player Bluetooth challenge.
$4.99
The oldies are still the best. EA recently updated the iPhone Tetris with a novel "Magic Crayon" mode that lets you replace any falling Tetris piece with a different one that you draw yourself. Sounds too easy, but it's remarkably effective, and adds to the pacing considerably.
$2.99
An episodic, cartoon-style, adventure/dating sim where the content is completely updated every week. Each new episode replaces the content previously available at no extra cost.
$4.99
It's Scrabble, but it also has asynchronous multiplayer, so you can challenge friends through Facebook Connect. If you're in a Wi-Fi hotspot with another Scrabble-loving iPhone over, you can go head to head too.
$0.99
Disney's driving-themed puzzle game lets you create your own levels using ramps, levers, pathways, chutes, and conveyor belts to guide your cars around the level.
$4.99
It's the fancy, global-themed version of Monopoly with real estate in Paris, Rome, and Barcelona. Bizarrely "real" Monopoly isn't included as part of the package. If you want that, you have to drop the $4.99 to buy the more popular game.
$6.99
EA has been experimenting with the pricing on Rock Band. When it launched it was $9.99, but for the time being it's now much cheaper. You get 20 songs when your download it, plus you can download extras from inside the app itself.
$4.99
It's a dueling game where you wave your iPhone around to cast a spell. It connects with another nearby player using either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. There are 14 spells in all, making for what is essentially a complicated version of Facebook Connected rock, paper, scissors.
$4.99
It seems inevitable that the price for this one will bounce up and down all over the place in the coming weeks. It looks great, is an excellent bit of fan service, but is ultimately a little limited. Will be interesting to see if THQ adds anything extra to it in subsequent updates.
$0.99
Created by InXile, the folks that did the excellent Bard's Tale remake on PS2 a couple of years ago, The Impossible Quiz is a lateral-thinking logic quiz that can be infuriating if you're not completely in tune with how it "thinks." The current version features 100 questions, but there are more coming, we're sure.
$9.99
A remarkably full-featured port of Madden NFL 10 complete with all 32 teams, 300 plays, customizable passing routes, and even full commentary just like the console version.
Free
Huh? How is a "free" app in the highest-grossing list? Eliminate is clearly the most effective "freemium" game of the moment. Although the game itself is free, you have to pay for in-game "energy" in order to compete online in this online, multiplayer first person shooter. If you get hooked, it can start getting expensive.
$6.99
One of the most visually impressive racing games on the iPhone so far, Asphalt 5 is a little bit Need for Speed and a little bit Burnout, with tilt controls, licensed cars and fast paced arcade racing action.
$0.99
All in 1 Gamebox currently includes 14 different games in a single app for $0.99, and new additions are promised on an ongoing basis. What do you get in it? Full versions of games that were previously available on their own in the app store for the same price. Titles like iSniper, King Fish, Operation iWolf, and 1945 Ace Destroyer are all included.
$6.99
It's a bit like Elder Scrolls: Oblivion for the iPhone. Our minds? Totally blown. It's a huge, epic role playing game that you can play from either a first or third person perspective.
$4.99
It's Uno. It's just like every other version of Uno out there, which means it's incredibly addictive. Play with nine different rules sets against other players online, or over a Wi-Fi connection.
$0.99
Konami's grand pricing experiment with Metal Gear Solid Touch has finally seen it come crashing all the way down to just $0.99. For completist Metal Gear fans it's a must-play, but it's far from the other portable versions of the game conceptually.
