Several older games inspired by gameshows or tabletop games reappeared this week with every single one holding spots within the top 50. New Titles Within Top iPhone Paid Apps List UNO -- The first highlight for the iPhone is the familiar game of UNO. Though its HD version has risen up in the past (currently, it is also #24), the iPhone rendition currently ranks in at #18. Costing $0.99, this digital remake of the well-known card game is doing well because of a big update on August 18th that added in an online multiplayer mode with the added ability to play against users at the same skill level.

The Price Is Right -- The last highlight for iPhone is another older game, The Price Is Right. Developed by Ludia, players compete against either each other or AI opponents in a digital rendition of the long running television game show, trying to guess the prices of items, or at least get as close as possible without going over it. That said, the app has not been updated since February 27th, and its rise is due to Ludia placing the app on sale for $0.99. As such, the iPad version has risen as well to hit #33. As for Ludia itself, the company is a Montreal-based games developer of cross-platform titles for platforms such as iOS, Facebook, and PC.

Family Feud HD -- Ludia makes a second appearance today with another old game, Family Feud HD.
