As the end of the year draws nigh, just about everyone is putting together their wrap-up stories that are, let’s be honest, pretty predictable if you’ve been following tech news for 2011. But at least one story caught our eye this morning: Mobilewalla‘s app scores. Mobilewalla is one of many app aggregation services, though unlike a lot of Android specific sites, it doesn’t distribute its own apps. Instead it keeps a close eye on the various app platforms and offers up an updated database of apps that anyone can use. This year, the top ten list is dominated by games.

The top ten breakdown is as follows:

Pixlr-o-matic: 97.5 out of 100

Super Stickman Golf: 97.5 out of 100

Smurfs’ Village: 97 out of 100

Crime Story: 96.4 out of 100

Marvel Comics: 96.3 out of 100

MADDEN NFL 12 by EA SPORTS™: 93.6 out of 100

Dragon, Fly! Full: 92.3 out of 100

Earth And Legend: 92.4 out of 100

Great Little War Game: 92.2 out of 100

SHADOWGUN: 91.8 out of 100

Note that these scores aren’t based on downloads, but a sliding scale of user reviews, position within the app category, and social media buzz. Interestingly, the top five rated apps are free, while the bottom five are all paid games. High-profile titles seem to be the order of the day, with the only real surprises being Smurfs Villiage. (Really? Smurfs?) There’s only two non-games included on the list, though they’re highly placed. Retro camera app Pixlr-o-matic dominates with a nearly perfect score of 97.5, and Marvel Comics gets a lot of attention, considerably more so than ComiXology.
