Much like last week, this week’s top grossing charts were lead on both iPad and iPhone by Colorado-based Backflip Studios and its free-to-play animal care game, DragonVale. Another Chinese developer also did well this week, with Hoolai Games’ 胡莱三国 (Hu Lai Countries) snagging the No. 10 spot on the iPhone charts. The quirky running meets zombies fitness adventure game Zombies, Run! also had a strong debut in the No. 24 spot.

[Update] DragonVale – This week’s top grossing iPhone and iPad app is Backflip Studios’ DragonVale.

[Update] Fairway Solitaire HD – Big Fish Games’ Fairway Solitaire HD appears to have some staying power, still making appearances on the charts two weeks after its debut, a rare occurrence for most of Big Fish’s titles. This week’s No. 30 top grossing app, Fairway Solitaire HD is free to download, but the entire game must be unlocked through a $2.99 in-app purchase. The iPad version of the game includes 350 holes, four mini games and 32 trophies to collect.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions - Closing out the top grossing iPad charts in the No. 47 spot this week is Square Enix’s Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions.
