Top-Grossing iOS Games: Temple Run climbs iPhone charts

Every week, Gamasutra rounds up the top-grossing iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad applications, as current that day in the iTunes App Store. This week's U.S. revenue charts see Temple Run and DragonVale earning top iPhone sales, while Smurfs' Village and Slotomania HD emerge as big sellers on the iPad. These charts allow end users to see who is making the most money on the App Store that day. It differs significantly from the Top 10 Games chart, which is ranked by sales, and therefore is dominated by lower-priced titles that sell more copies. Data comes courtesy of Apple's public sales information. All titles in the App Store's "Games" category are considered in chart rankings. This week's top-grossing iPhone titles are: 1. DragonVale (Free) 2. Poker by Zynga (Free) 3. Temple Run (Free) 4. Slotomania (Free) 5. World War (Free) 6. Smurfs' Village (Free) 7. Kingdom Conquest (Free) 8. Grand Theft Auto 3 ($4.99) 9. Where's My Water? ($0.99) 10. Bejeweled Blitz (Free) Backflip Studios' DragonVale and Poker by Zynga spend their fourth consecutive week atop the iPhone's revenue charts, as Imangi's Temple Run recovers to take third after falling to sixth place in last week's results. Smurfs' Village and World War also move up the charts this week, while Sega's multiplayer RPG Kingdom Conquest reports consistent microtransaction sales at seventh. Here are this week's top-grossing iPad applications: 1. DragonVale (Free) 2. Smurfs' Village (Free) 3. Slotomania HD (Free) 4. Modern War (Free) 5. Slotomania (Free) 6.
