(N.B. The monthly games chart is based on titles released and reviewed in the last month. The apps chart is based on titles released and reviewed over the last three months. Hence, this is not a cumulative chart and earlier released titles may have higher scores.)
While the mesmeric Lionel Messi and his Barcelona brethren deservedly lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy on Saturday, the backroom staff over at X2 Games has reason to celebrate, too, as its universally praised First Touch Soccer took home Qi's trinket for top iPhone game of May. The star of Squeenix's captivating RPG prequel Chaos Rings Omega Veig, meanwhile, had to overcome opponents in the Arc Arena and evade the attentions of Kiloo's highflying Frisbee Forever to claim second place on our leaderboard this month.
According to the mysterious Dr Deanfield and cerasus.media, beauty isn't necessarily in the eye of the beholder, but rather in the distance between the eyes, mouth, hair line, chin, and ears. Compare your mug with minor celebrities in the Dr's table-topping Beauty Check app and publish the astonishing results on Facebook and Twitter. One of the most beautiful Japanese actresses in, well, Japan is Nagasaku Hiromi, a lady for whom it'd certainly be worth learning and memorising the 159,000 entries and 12,000 kanji in codefromtokyo's English / Japanese iPhone dictionary!
