Welcome, PG.biz readers, once again to the weekly iPhone Quality Index (Qi) games round up, winging its way to you every Friday on these hallowed pages.

If you still aren’t familiar with Qi, let me introduce you formally...

Launched in beta by the publishers of Pocket Gamer.biz, Steel Media, Qi trawls the web for game and app reviews from the world’s most respected online and print sources.
Qi then applies its own magic formula to each site (such as 148Apps, Macworld, IGN, Slide to Play and TiPB) to establish a single definitive Qi score for each iPhone app and game.

Top of the innings

Swinging onto the Qi charts as the #1 best reviewed game this week, Baseball Superstars 2011 has posted an outstanding 9.5 batting average after two reviews.

The third in Gamevil’s ultra-popular series on iPhone innovatively blends role playing elements into a classic sports simulation to produce a home run experience for all.

In its summary of Baseball Superstars 2011, AppSpy pitched the following snippets of praise for the reigning king of the Qi diamond: “Streamlined gameplay management options. Deeper interaction between game modes. Classic cute super deformed artwork.”

Puck off

And speaking of long running sports franchises on iPhone, the latest addition to Gamerizon’s Chop Chop series, Chop Chop Hockey, has skated straight onto the Qi ice with an excellent 8.4 rating from two reviews.

Offering three-on-three action (of the PG kind, thank you) in glorious Retina display-supporting arenas, Chop Chop Hockey should appeal to NHL fans and non-fans alike.
Gamezebo described the cold cartoonish competition as “an awesome arcade experience that’s perfect for short gameplay sessions and, at the end of the day, is simply great fun to play.”

A-mazing stuff

Hexage’s Evac is the other notable game release of the past seven days, its terrific 8.3 Qi score generated from two critiques.

With more than a glancing nod to Pac-Man, art style-wise, Evac manages to successfully merge puzzle, stealth, and action gameplay across 24 well crafted levels.
