whereswaldo2

In this weekly feature, FingerGaming rounds up the top-grossing iPhone and iPod Touch applications, as current that day on the iTunes App Store. This week’s top titles are:

  1. Where’s Waldo? The Fantastic Journey ($2.99)
  2. Call of Duty: World at War Zombies ($9.99)
  3. Dragon’s Lair ($4.99)
  4. Labyrinth 2 ($4.99)
  5. Bejeweled 2 ($2.99)
  6. Super Monkey Ball 2 ($4.99)
  7. Tetris ($4.99)
  8. The Sims 3 ($6.99)
  9. Need for Speed Undercover ($4.99)
  10. Monopoly ($4.99)

After leading the App Store’s top grossing charts for three consecutive weeks, Activision’s Call of Duty: World at War Zombies drops to second place in today’s rankings. Ludia’s iPhone adaptation of the Where’s Waldo? series of puzzle books tops the App Store’s charts by revenue and by volume in its first week of release.

EA’s iPhone port of Dragon’s Lair is on the move after an impressive debut last week, taking third in today’s results. Recent releases like Illusion Labs’ Labyrinth 2 and Sega’s Super Monkey Ball 2 also place high in this week’s charts, as PopCap’s Bejeweled 2 holds steady at fifth place.

Scrabble, Madden NFL 10, and Implode! are nowhere to be found among today’s top titles, despite strong showings last week. Monopoly also sees a sharp drop in popularity after placing third last week, landing behind Tetris, The Sims 3, and Need for Speed Undercover at tenth place.
