|

If you were wondering what the best-reviewed iPhone games on the web last month were, here's the Quality Index round-up for February to fill you in. If you weren't, well, here they are, anyway.

The Quality Index boasts over 180,000 reviews from websites like 148Apps, Pocket Gamer, and AppGamer, and uses a unique metric to create a single definitive score for each iPhone title.

Spoilt for choice

Whether you're a speed freak, a stealth fan, or a platform enthusiast, there's something for everyone on this month's Qi Top 10 iPhone games list.

Simogo's unique rhythm-infused stealth title Beat Sneak Bandit crept past the competition to become February's #1 ranked iPhone game, leaving Reckless Racing 2 holding the second-place trophy.

Elf Defense fought off all invaders to secure the #3 spot, while sublime afterlife puzzler Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective positively spooked its way onto our rundown.

Fifth position is host to the surreal platform mayhem of Pizza vs. Skeletons, with space shooter duo Beat Hazard Ultra and Dariusburst: Second Prologue warping into sixth and seventh place, respectively.

N.B. While we only display the average score to one decimal place, the list is generated to further significant figures. We just don't show them all. And, naturally, this is a static graph based on live listings which are subject to constant change as new releases and reviews emerge. In order to provide a regular marker of the critical zeitgeist, however, we will continue to round up the best of the iPhone games released each month to provide the definitive Quality Index top ten.

James pivoted to video so hard that he permanently damaged his spine, which now doubles as a Cronenbergian mic stand. If the pictures are moving, he's the one to blame.
