#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: Madden NFL 11
Our Score: 3/4
Our Bottom Line: Madden 11 if a few yards shy of absolute greatness, but it’s a good sequel to last year’s standout football game.

Our Score: 3/4
Our Bottom Line: This version of Tetris is a lot of fun, especially with the new Magic mode.
#4: Monopoly

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.
#6: The Sims Ambitions

#8: Fruit Ninja
Our Score: 3/4
Our Bottom Line: As far as simple pick-up-and-play games go, Fruit Ninja is among the best.
#9: 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.
#10: Scrabble
Our Score: 4/4
Our Bottom Line: If you’re a fan of Scrabble, then this is a great portable version. It’s everything you could ask for and a little bit more.
