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 Zombie Gunship and Texas Poker earning top iPhone sales, while Smurfs' Village and Sid Meier's Pirates! emerge as big sellers on the iPad.
