Another week, another top ten popular games list for you to scope out. Burn the Rope continues to hold its high spot on the list against usual suspects like Angry birds and Cut the Rope. Angry Birds Seasons is slipping, probably because Christmas is over. Should they have released MLK-themed levels this week to keep the game relevant? In any case, check out the rest of the list below.
#1: Angry Birds
Our Score: 4/4
Our Bottom Line: Destructive physics help make this a very charming puzzler, and the great level variety seals the deal.
#2: Fruit Ninja
Our Score: 4/4
Our Bottom Line: As far as simple pick-up-and-play games go, Fruit Ninja is among the best.
#3: Burn The Rope
Our Score: 3/4
Our Bottom Line: Burn the Rope has the inventiveness that makes the best puzzle games interesting.
#4: Cut the Rope
Our Score: 4/4
Our Bottom Line: Cut the Rope is a charming, challenging, and– most importantly– fun puzzle game that nearly anyone will enjoy.
#5: The Game of Life Classic Edition
Our Score: 3/4
Our Bottom Line: Life moves quickly, and so does this satisfying game, as long as you aren’t expecting a revolutionary gaming experience.
#6: Doodle Jump
Our Score: 3/4
Our Bottom Line: Doodle Jump is a great microgame for the right price.
#7: Angry Birds Seasons
Our Score: 4/4
Our Bottom Line: All the fun of Angry Birds, but more challenging, and with pumpkins and presents.
#8: UNO
Our Score: 2/4
Our Bottom Line: This title does its best to bring a childhood favorite to the iPhone/iPod Touch, but the game doesn’t seem like a good match for the platform.
#9: Family Feud
Our Score: 3/4
Our Bottom Line: Even though it doesn’t dispense real prize money, Family Feud is a great app if you’ve ever dreamed of being a contestant on the show.
#10: Bejeweled 2 + Blitz
Our Score: 3/4
Our Bottom Line: Bejeweled 2 is a classic Match-3 game that has proved just as addictive as its original version, though it does not have enough creativity for our top recommendation.
