Top-Grossing Android Games: Defender Takes On Tap Fish

Every week, Gamasutra rounds up the top-grossing Android gaming applications, as current that day in the Android Market. This week's U.S. revenue charts see Tap Fish and Defender leading today's rankings, as Life is Crime and My Country also report fast sales. These charts allow end users to see who is making the most money in the Android Market that day. It differs significantly from the Top Paid Games chart, which is ranked by sales, and therefore is dominated by lower-priced titles that sell more copies. Data comes courtesy of Google's public sales information. All titles in the Android Market's "Games" category are considered in chart rankings. This week's top-grossing Android titles are: 1. Tap Fish (Free) 2. Live Holdem Poker Pro (Free) 3. Defender (Free) 4. Smurfs' Village (Free) 5. Zynga Poker (Free) 6. Life is Crime (Free) 7. My Country (Free) 8. Texas Poker (Free) 9.
