Hero of Sparta continues to be the App store's hottest seller, priced at $0.99. This hack-and-slash adventure released in December 2008 features some pretty impressive 3D graphics and slick storytelling cut-scenes. The game will give you about four hours of solid gameplay, or about 6-10 for obsessive types -- not bad for the price. This one is recommended for fans of the God of War, Gauntlet, or Diablo franchises.
