This Week's Android Charts: Incredibly Late Morning Edition
What’s that? It’s a little late for this morning’s weekly Android game charts? Poppycock! It’s never too late for the morning. Well, I suppose the next morning would be too late. Looks like I made it just in time for Ralph to wreck it once more.
Now that Ralph and the magical Vanellope have finished doing damage over on the iPhone and iPad, it’s Android’s turn to receive the major motion picture kick. I’m still holding out for a full-on Sugar Rush kart racer myself, but anything with Wreck-It Ralph attached to it seems to be doing just fine.

As is generally the case I’m noticing, Android’s top free games move about a lot less than the paid ones. It’s like the iPhone in reverse.
Top Free Android Games – 11/28/2012
1. Angry Birds Star Wars
Last Week’s Position: 1 (0)
While it’s dropped from the paid charts completely, free Angry Birds Star Wars is too good to pass up.

I suspect all of those Temple Run board games all over Walmart have something to do with this.
3. Hill Climb Racing
