The iPad Quality Index boasts over 40,000 reviews from websites like 148Apps, Pocket Gamer, and IGN, and uses a unique metric to create a single definitive score for each iPad title.
Sunny Delight
This month's iPad Qi games chart was dominated by the dazzling brilliance of charming platform-adventure Incoboto.
A sun-kissed delight with genuine heart, this unusual story of a boy who befriends a sun had the critics radiating beams of goodwill to iOS users everywhere.
Flying close to the heavens at #3, though, is Namco Networks America's jet-powered flight sim Sky Gambers: Air Supremacy, which shot up the Qi rankings at near-supersonic speed after its launch a few weeks ago.
Ready to send you back to earth with reckless abandon, meanwhile, is the outlandishly named AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!, which lets you fall with style, scoring points and skipping heartbeats as you go.

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 iPad games released each month to provide the definitive Quality Index top ten.
