Games might not be your first consideration when choosing a PDA or smartphone, but they've got to be in the top ten. Having a few good games is as crucial as having your contacts and calendar: they're what you turn to when you're on the train coming home or waiting for a late appointment to start. They help us unwind and relax for a few minutes.

This year has been a great one for mobile games, with fun titles coming out for every platform. Faster processors and bigger screens meant a more engaging experience, while improved communications options let us battle with other gamers across the world.
