Chris Buffa (Modojo): In a shocking twist, the number one paid iPhone and iPad game does not involve Angry Birds, Temple Run or Minecraft. That said, FDG Entertainment's Slayin literally came out of nowhere and grabbed the top spot, thanks to addictive gameplay, retro graphics and simplistic controls. It's also excruciatingly difficult, packing the sort of challenge that rekindles fond memories of the toughest NES and Super Nintendo games. On that note, this guide will help tip the odds in your favor.

The game industry has reached a point in its long life where it now exists in two different universes at the same time: We live in an age where consumers demand perfection and with that demand comes “next-gen” titles that both look brilliant and play even better.

AppAdvice: Slayin ($0.99) by FDG Entertainment is an arena-style arcade RPG that reminds me quite a lot of Spellsword. As with most games in the App Store these days, it uses retro pixellated graphics, which work well for the genre.
