Games dominate Verizon Wireless top-selling apps
By , Contributing Editor
During a keynote presentation at today's BREW 2008 conference, Verizon Wireless' Lee Daniels put up a list of the Top 20 selling applications for the operator last month. And games are flying high.

Seven of the Top 10 were games. The full list folllows – in order with games in bold:

1. Sony Music Box

2. ESPN MVP

3. Surviving High School 08 (pictured)

4. Univision Tomos

5. Pac-Man by Namco

6. Tetris

7. Little Shop of Treasures

8. Guitar Hero III

9. Diamond Detective

10. Zuma

11. Diner Dash 2

12. Univision Ringtones

13. Scrabble

14. Smarter Than a 5th Grader

15. WeatherBug

16. Mobile Banking

17. MyCast 5 Weather

18. AccuWeather.com Premium

19. America's Best Mobile Pix

20. TONEMAKER

So there you have it. I was taken with the number of games based on casual web games, and the lack of console / film titles bar the all-conquering Guitar Hero III.

Not that this is a surprise, but good to have the data to show it.
