[In this weekly feature, Gamasutra rounds up the week's most popular paid and free iPhone and iPod Touch games, as current on the iTunes App Store.] This week's top paid iPhone game titles on the App Store, as captured on July 30th 2012, are as follows: 1. Spy vs Spy (Robots and Pencils, $0.99) 2. Where's My Perry? (Disney, $0.99) 3. Where's My Water? (Disney, $0.99) 4. Temple Run: Brave (Disney, $0.99) 5. Angry Birds Space (Rovio, $0.99) 6. Shellrazer (Slick Entertainment, $0.99) 7. Minecraft: Pocket Edition (Mojang, $6.99) 8. Fruit Ninja (Halfbrick, $0.99) 9. Amazing Alex (Rovio, $0.99) 10. Offroad Legends (Dogbyte Games, $0.99) A newly released iOS version of First Star Software's classic competitive PC title Spy vs Spy leads as the iPhone's current best-selling title, overtaking Where's My Perry? and Where's My Water? to earn top honors in this week's charts. Slick Entertainment's recently released shoot 'em up Shellrazer trails Angry Birds Space at sixth place, while Dogbyte's racer Offroad Legends makes its chart debut this week at tenth place. Here are this week's top free iPhone games: 1. Where's My Perry? Free (Disney) 2. Catapult King (Chillingo) 3. Zombie Run HD (RetroStyle Games) 4. 9 Innings: Pro Baseball 2013 (Com2uS) 5. SongPop Free (FreshPlanet) 6. Offroad Legends Warmup (Dogbyte Games) 7. Jurassic Park Builder (Ludia) 8. Flow Free (Big Duck Games) 9. Stickman Games: Summer Edition (Robert Szeleney) 10. Matching With Friends Free (Zynga) A free version of Disney's Where's My Perry? featuring a batch of exclusive levels not found in the paid edition heads up the iPhone's free charts. Dogbyte adopts a similar tactic with its popular free app Offroad Legends Warmup, leading to a boost in sales for the paid version. Chillingo's Catapult King takes second place after being named Apple's App of the Week, meanwhile, as the Temple Run clone Zombie Run follows at third place in today's rankings.
