    Or if you're a Megan Fox fanboy.


    I agree with Apple, on some. They should take a couple off however. (Actually, quite a few off) None added.

    No kidding, time management has been HUGE on the App Store. Hell, Sally's Spa has even been plugged on a few major network TV shows.

    Heck yeah! Fun games are fun, i think a lot of the knocking of Sallys Spa is from guys who had a little too much macho wheat in their wheaties and for some strange reason think a game where you manage a spa cant possibly be any good. They dont even give games that arent about shooting things a chance. heck..they probably mainly play FPSes.

    Well, shooting things gets out all the aggression I build up while doing time management tasks in real life :).

    I have nothing about management game but I consider Sally's Spa for girls but that's my personal opinion...

    You should probably consider keeping a more open mind not only about time management games, but about the validity of gender roles..

    Is it just me or is the lite version gone? I never got round to buying the full game, but wanted to play the lite again while I wait for my pay to come through...

    Hint: The female casual gamer market is much bigger than the hardcore iPhone gamer market.

    So you're saying that people aren't allowed an opinion on what's on the list, and that some kind of Sentient Being has decided what goes on the list?

    EVERYTHING is opinionated. Get over it.

    I'd have thought they'd go by sales and ratings actually, rather than their own opinions. Along with anything that's been featured in a major way: newspapers, television, y'know... major media outlets. If it was truly just someone's opinion there'd probably be some really bizarre choices in there.


    ...like Gangstar.

    Did I mention that Canabalt is also perfectly priced at $2.99?

    Because it most certainly is.
