UPDATE – Well now. Despite not actually mentioning anything about regional differences on the store, it seems Apple has gone and awarded different games different titles in different territories. So in Australia, the above games are the winners. But in the US, Tiny Tower was the winner on iPhone, followed by Tiny Wings and Touchgrind BMX. On iPad, Dead Space won, with the runners-up being Contre Jour HD and, whaddya know, Sword & Sworcery
