The list, it seems, it sorted by revenue, because there's a relatively poor showing for cheap casual games. Nothing in the top six is below $5, and they're all franchise titles.

The fantastic Spider: The Secret of Bruce Manor tops the group, joined by a healthy selection of games from a mix of studios, large and small. Just one of the top ten is a big-name franchise title.
