App Store has crossed one billion mark in downloads since it opened last July. As a promotional campaign to celebrate this momentous achievement, Apple has released the list of twenty most downloaded iPhone and iPod Touch applications, both in free and paid categories. No prizes for guessing that games comprise 30 per cent of total download in the free category and 70 per cent in the paid category. But you’d never guess which one tops the list of most downloaded paid apps. Why it’s none other than the fallen console giant Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D. Despite being the most costly application on the list, an honor shared with Sega’s Super Monkey Ball, Activision’s Crash Bandicoot has managed to grab the top spot. The racing game equals the performance of Tapulous’ Tap Tap Revenge, which is the most downloaded game in free category. The overall topper in the free category is Facebook.
Other games to have made it to the top list of paid downloads are:
• Enigmo (Pangea)
• Bejeweled 2 (PopCap)
• Moto Chaser (Freeverse)
• Flick Fishing (Freeverse)
• Tetris (Electronic Arts)
