Yet again, the best download games available this week end up being the cheapest. It's been a running theme for some time, but it seems that precious few of the games that demand more of our money are any good.

They are important of course, but every now and then a game tune can be so catchy and memorable - despite the game itself not being elevated to a kind of legendary status in our minds. This list has a few of those types of titles this time around.
Have you ever been sitting in an airport waiting for your flight but it just keeps getting delayed time and time again? Surely you could do better at being an air traffic controler and get all the flights in on time without delays and more importantly without the airplanes crashing.

Part of iOS’s legacy is that it helped launch a number of new genres tailor-made for the device’s touchscreen. In addition to tower defense and physics puzzlers, one of the most popular emerging genres is line-drawing games, where you trace a path on the screen with your finger to lead your characters to their goals. Today’s featured series, Flight Control, was the first to popularize this genre, and made a household name out of Australian developer Firemint.
