Thanks to its multiplayer update and price cut, Infinity Blade (a game we've described as "Punch-Out meets Shadow of the Colossus") cracks both the top-selling and top-grossing lists this week. Also reappearing on the list are the always-popular titles The Game of Life and Where's Waldo. See the rest of both lists below, along with links to the App Store and our reviews, below.
Top-Selling Apps
#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.

#3: Angry Birds Rio
Our Score: 4/4
Our Bottom Line: Angry Birds Rio doesn’t change the formula, but it doesn’t need to. Angry Birds Rio is a blast.
#4: 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.

Our Score: 2/4
Our Bottom Line: The Smurfs’ Village doesn’t offer much gameplay beyond building a Smurf enclave and some middling minigames. But for a casual distraction, you could do worse.

Most useful iTunes review: "Every time I finish invading the app crashes and I don't receive any money, brains, loot, powers, or credit but I still have to wait 2 hours to invade again?"
