Bike Baron and Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation are the top-reviewed iPhone games for October
If you were wondering what the best-reviewed iPhone games on the web last month were, here's the Quality Index round-up for October to fill you in.
The Quality Index boasts over 110,000 reviews from websites like 148Apps, Pocket Gamer, and Gamezebo, and uses a unique metric to create a single definitive score for each iPhone title.
Age is neither a barrier to success in the world of stunt cycle racing nor an insurmountable obstacle in the sphere of iPhone game development, it would appear, as Mountain Sheep's 2.5D physics-based racer Bike Baron finishes on the top of the Qi podium in October 2011.
For the fifth consecutive time, meanwhile, UK publisher Chillingo has a representative on the Quality Index end-of-month round-up. Following in the exalted footsteps of DrawRace 2, Anomaly Warzone Earth, Swords and Soldiers, and Rocket Bunnies is Super Crossfire, a frenzied shoot-'em-up that blends well-crafted retro sensibilities with a futuristic warping mechanic.
Not one but two Gameloft hits secure spots on our coveted rundown, too, with the cerebral The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn - The Game joining the more instinctive Call of Duty-esque Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation in the Top 10.

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.
