Slasher

App Maker: Josef Wankerl
Reason: Offensive

The app showed a picture of a menacing knife, and when the iPhone was shook, it would play the Psycho theme. The game was originally allowed to be released in August 2008 but was pulled after just one day of heavy criticism in the U.K., where there had been a wave of recent stabbings.
