EA has received a bit of a kicking in the press of late, with the controversy surrounding the online-only SimCity debacle and the continuing heated debate over Real Racing 3's IAP-fuelled model raising the cockles of many.
It's worth stopping for a second, though, to remind ourselves how EA has climbed to the top of the games publishers' mountain. Put simply, it produces some genuinely world-class games.
Nowhere has that quality been more apparent in recent years than on Apple's wonderphone, so let's take a look at the Top 5 EA games on iPhone.
Let's stop the heated words and remember the good times.

A stunning re-imagining of the brave console original, Mirror's Edge on iOS plays out like an endless-runner but with the structure, variety, and production values of a console game. The result is a wonderfully moreish parkour platformer with considerable style. |
