In celebration of the App Store’s first birthday (it’s July 11th — have a cake ready), Apple has launched a new section at the iTunes Store detailing the service’s top games and apps, as determined by an unspecified metric.
Whoever put together Apple’s list of “our favorite games” has good taste, though, as there’s some real winners in there. Zen Bound and Edge are right up there on the front page next to critical darlings like Rolando and Real Racing, and even Com2uS Corp’s recently released Baseball Slugger gets some love.
Apple’s top 12 favorite titles in the U.S. App Store are as follows:
- 2XL Supercross ($7.99)
- Baseball Slugger: Home Run Race 3D ($2.99)
- The Sims 3 ($9.99)
- Let’s Golf! ($1.99)
- Edge ($4.99)
- Rolando ($5.99)
- Zen Bound ($4.99)
- geoDefense ($3.99)
- Real Racing ($9.99)
- Touchgrind ($4.99)
- Peggle ($4.99)
- Fieldrunners ($2.99)
