    Most apps that catch my eye will be featured on the front screen when opening the Appstore app.

    A good professional looking icon will grab my attention and then i'd look at the user reviews. I wouldn't necessarily dismiss the app if it had a few bad reviews as most are just user issue.

    Price isn't normally an issue as I tend to avoid the free ones if its not from a know company for some reason.

    p.s depending on the App I want it to suit the OS. e.g Yahoo's new weather app is beautiful. But seeing as you're a gaming developer Graphics is a major factor for me when choosing a game.
