The Most Popular iPhone And iPad Games Right Now

Every week, some of the most popular apps shoot their way up the App Store charts, either because of their free-to-play nature or the way they can hook someone with a unique approach to gameplay. It also never hurts to have a good sale, or even a giveaway, for that matter.
With this in mind, here are some of the most popular iPhone and iPad games.
 

Infinity Blade 2 (Chair Entertainment, free)

With Infinity Blade 3 currently available for purchase, what would make Infinity Blade II a more popular download? Simple - Chair Entertainment is giving it away for free.

Clash of Clans (Supercell, free)

One of the most popular free-to-play games on the App Store right now, Clash of Clans is beyond addictive. In this combat strategy game, you'll build your ultimate home base while beefing up your army and setting out to conquer other areas, defeating your friends and gaining some cool bonuses as a result. Sure, there are some microtransactions that make the game sweeter, but the bulk of the game won't cost you a cent - and that's a sweet deal for a battle like this.

TwoDots (Betaworks One, free)

TwoDots may look like a simple game, but don't be fooled. It's a fun puzzler where you try to connect as many dots as you can on an enclosed grid in order to meet the criteria needed for each level. It starts out easy enough, but soon becomes difficult. Thankfully, some extra lives and power-ups are available as microtransactions in case you need a little boost.

Candy Crush Saga (King, free)

You knew this was going to be on the list, right? Even after all these months, Candy Crush Saga remains diabolically popular, with its match-three set-up tied into an enjoyable - albeit costly - formula to complete each level. It's also a great social game, as you can interact with friends, try to beat high scores and beg for lives.
