Latest iPhone Games Chart Reveals Something for Everyone

One of the most popular pay as you go and pay monthly mobile phones on the market with gamers has to be the Apple iPhone 4, which boasts more than its fair share of addictive titles downloadable thanks to the App Store.

However, whether you are happy to pay for these apps or are looking for something free, it can be difficult to know where to start with so many different options available. This is where the weekly iPhone games chart, as put together by FingerGaming, can come in pretty handy.

Topping the most recent listing is the ever popular Angry Birds, which is available in a free demo version that will inevitably lead many to shell out for the paid upgrade due to its incredibly addictive nature. The aim of the game is to use your slingshot to strategically launch your birds into the air and kill off the docile pig creatures that populate each level. Sounds silly? Well, give it a try, we can pretty much guarantee you'll soon be hooked!

At number two is another freebie, which allows you to grow an island populated with animals in a bid to create the world's best safari park. Tap Zoo lets you set up your park with a range of animals, allow them to breed and unlock all kinds of other attractions to tempt visitors.

If action is more your thing, Call of Duty: Zombies takes the well-known shoot 'em up franchise of the same name and introduces the element of the undead to proceedings. Alternatively, you might like to test your finger skills with Fruit Ninja, where the multi-touch screen of the iPhone is used to slice through randomly-generated fruits in exchange for points.

Zombie Farm takes a similar premise to Tap Zoo in that it allows you to be the caretaker of a piece of land that is populated by creatures you must look after - only this time, instead of cuddly animals, its zombies. If, on the other hand, you want something more strategy-based, why not try Doodle Defense, which lets you instead build an army to stop enemies attacking your base.

At number seven in the chart, is a puzzle game that comes with some great reviews. Burn the Rope was referred to by TouchArcade as "a pretty great experience" and TouchGen as "a definite must buy". Board game fans, on the other hand, might prefer The Game of Life, an adaptation of the table-top classic which has been around for years.

Number nine is another puzzle game that has been massively popular on the iPhone and iPad for some time now. Plants vs. Zombies lets you set traps to stop the oncoming zombie apocalypse from getting through your garden and into your home using - you guessed it - some strategically placed plants, seeds and seed-spitting flowers.

Finally, Cut the Rope rounds out the top ten, offering more puzzle thrills for iPhone users who are looking for a new way to pass the time with their pay as you go or pay monthly phones.

So with games now available for all types of players and new titles being created all the time, perhaps the Apple smartphone is the handset for you - particularly if you think you are fast with your fingers!
