When we last leftour intrepid iPhone gaming app charts, Tumblr had stolen my powers of tracking, leaving me to resort to an image-based solution. This week the rankings are back, which is why it took me so long to get them up. How about that Wreck-It Ralph?
The computer-animated sensation makes its mark on the iPhone charts this week, which makes the fact that there is no way in heck I can make it to a theatre to see Wreck-It Ralph any time soon all the more frustrating. Perhaps my children will grow out of their biting each other phase and slip into the sitting quietly portion of development before it’s out of the theatres.
Stop laughing, parents.
