Angry Birds
The undisputed heavyweight champion of gaming apps, Angry Birds is the addictive iPhone app everyone loves.

So angry that they are prepared to launch themselves at the pigs in a giant catapult in a bid to get their eggs back. Although there is a problem-solving aspect to the game, its mostly just tiny balls of explosive feathered fury and fun. You can download it for $0.99 here.
