Top-Grossing Android Games: Defender, Tap Fish Battle For Top Chart Spot

Every week, Gamasutra rounds up the top-grossing Android gaming applications, as current that day in the Android Market. This week's U.S. revenue charts see Defender and Tap Fish leading today's rankings, as World of Goo and Blood & Glory also report top earnings. These charts allow end users to see who is making the most money in the Android Market that day. It differs significantly from the Top Paid Games chart, which is ranked by sales, and therefore is dominated by lower-priced titles that sell more copies. Data comes courtesy of Google's public sales information. All titles in the Android Market's "Games" category are considered in chart rankings. This week's top-grossing Android titles are: 1. Defender (Free) 2. Tap Fish (Free) 3. Live Holdem Poker Pro (Free) 4. Zynga Poker (Free) 5. Smurfs' Village (Free) 6. Blood & Glory (Free) 7. Life is Crime (Free) 8. World of Goo ($4.99) 9. Paradise Island (Free) 10. Fashion Story (Free) DroidHen's popular strategy title Defender reclaims top honors in the Android Market's revenue charts, dropping last week's chart leader Tap Fish to second place. Glu's one-on-one fighter Bloody & Glory enters the top ten at sixth place following a recent update, as 2D Boy's PC-ported puzzler World of Goo earns eighth place in its debut week.
