Granted, while sales and user ratings don’t always indicate quality (just look at Britney Spears’ last album), this as close as you’re gonna get to figuring out what’s “best” in the App Store. I myself just got an iPod Touch and am now eyeballing The Sims 3, Cooking Mama, Assassin’s Creed, Oregon Trail, and Doom Classic.

Any good Apps you missed this year?
