We joke about the iPhone being the Best Portable Device For Games™ but it has had quite a good year, games-wise. Apple has just released the top download charts for iTunes games.
Of course, what these charts don't tell us how many people are still playing the games they downloaded. The App Store can be a seductive realm of digital temptation - especially if you have trouble adding up multiples of .99 in your head - and 'most downloaded' certainly doesn't mean 'best game'.
That said, there is a pleasing correlation with these lists and what is generally accepted as the definitive iPhone games guide (*cough*).
