Final Fantasy III and Hot Springs Story are top-reviewed iOS games for March
Critical acclaim
If you were wondering what the best reviewed iPhone games on the web last month were, here's the Quality Index round-up for March to fill you in.
The Quality Index boasts over 55,000 reviews from websites like 148Apps, Pocket Gamer, and Slide to Play, and uses a unique metric to create a single definitive score for each iPhone title.
Following Speedball 2's triumphant return to the video game arena last month, another wily 20-year veteran Final Fantasy III has dusted off its magic wand, chosen its finest walking shoes, and promptly summoned up the #1 position in March.
Kairosoft's follow-up to its well received Game Dev Story, meanwhile, traded consoles and coders for saunas and solariums, Hot Springs Story more than content to bathe in the limelight of third.
The Angry Birds flock, for once, had to settle for something other than the top branch on Qi's chart, though the Rio-based spin-off still garnered muchos kudos.

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 10.
