Top 5 Games (Feb 26-Mar 3, 2012)

Welcome to the first of our weekly blog series where we will highlight the new top games apps of the week based on the latest AppScore and the latest reviews for each app. This week's top five apps include adventures on Mars and Persia, adventures as a purple god or stunt jumper, and a galaxy quest to light the skies.

1.		Waking Mars	92
		$4.99
		Discover the lost caverns beneath Mars and master the alien ecosystem that thrives there in Waking Mars. Check out a quote from AppSmile: "Just as Eufloria impressed us with its incorporation of naturalistic aspects into an RTS shell, Waking Mars has built its science fiction adventure around creating and cultivating plant life to reinvigorate the fourth rock from the sun." (March 8, 2012)

2.		Prince of Persia Classic HD	91
		$2.99
		Replay the adventure of the original Prince of Persia in a complete new skin. Check out a quote from The Smartphone App Review: "Overall, this is a very good version of a classic platform game. Imperfect sword fighting controls aside, this is a faithful and good looking update that will challenge and delight in equal measure." (March 1, 2012)

3.		Help Purple	90
		$0.99
		Help Purple explores Purple’s environment to help him clear each stage, rescuing his friends from the ravenous Huge Monster as he goes. Check out a quote from appyzilla: "Help Purple offers a unique gameplay which doesn’t happen too often in the app store. The game combines adventure with clever puzzle strategies." (March 9, 2012)

3.		AaaaaAAaaaAAAaa...	90
		$2.99
		Dive from a skyscraper, spray paint buildings, and flip off protesters in this game. Check out a quote from AppGamer.net: "The whole game just feels like a perfect fit on iPad, particularly if you’re sitting down looking down at the screen. With odd humour that hits you when you least expect it and a daunting sense of falling captured perfectly thanks to the interface and the graphics, AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! (Force = Mass x Acceleration) is a perfect match for Apple’s tablet." (March 7, 2012)

5.		Incoboto	89
		$2.99
		When The Corporation causes all the suns to go out, a small boy named Inco and his strange friend, Helios, go on a galaxy-spanning quest to light the skies once more in Incoboto. Check out a quote from Slide to Play: "Incoboto’s thoughtful design makes it accessible to new players and satisfying to longtime platformer fans. Don’t hesitate to take this journey with Inco and Helios, because there are wonderful things to see and do along the way." (March 8, 2012)
