      Something seems weird with the main games page on iTunes.

      Best Swinging Games has been the bottom row feature for something like 2 months now, while the section above has changed several times.

      I wish I had managed to find some time to finish that swinging game I started last year!

      While I am sure that this makes the purveyors of those games quite happy, I think someone at Apple needs to give that bottom row a kick and put a new category there. Might I suggest either:

      • Best Games That People Think Are Flight Control Clones
      • Best Match 3 Games with Rotatable Gravity
      :)

      • Best games that don't end with "inatown Wars", "inigore" or "ocket God".

      LOL on both posts. :D

      I agree, I noticed the swinging games a couple days ago and quickly realized that it has been there a couple months. It's not like they can't come up with some other pseudo-category on a whim.

      They could even leave the category name alone, but change the interpretation of the word "swinging". :)

      I wonder apple should make a category "Games that I never ever tried" to give a push to those with extremely poor sales :)

      LOL! I just changed my game's name from "Card Drop" to "Card Swing" hoping it gets featured with the rest! :)

      It's been there for months!

      Can they have Tower Defence next again? Or is it copywrited now ... o_O. Silly Apple.
