The most popular downloaded game app currently on the iTunes store for both the iphone and ipad is Angry Birds. This is a game where you launch 'angry birds' from a slingshot and try and destroy various structures and enemies. This link shows some of the physics of the game. It is a well done analysis as to the believability of the game dynamics. This page would make a good intro for a physics class for the concept of projectile motion. This could also be a great intro for parabolas in an algebra class.
