Looking for the best iPhone games to download from the App Store? Whether you've recently picked up an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus or you own one of the older models, here's a run down of the best games you can download for your Apple smartphone.
No matter how many models Apple unleashes upon he world or how big their screens are, there's one thing you can always count on your iPhone delivering: lots and lots of games. The latest numbers suggest there are well over a quarter of a million games currently sat on Apple's marketplace and, unless you fancy taking off a couple of months to peruse each and every one, finding the store's top picks is quite an undertaking.
That's where we come in. We've compiled a list of the best iPhone games from the past twelve months – games that, almost by default, you should pick up for your handset. Games that span the genres, doing everything from keep you entertained for a few seconds to dominate your attention for a couple of hours.
This time around we've added another addictive F2P title to the list - don't worry it's not Candy Crush. It's a little rhythm action game called Planet Quest that needs to strip dancing people of their fancy dress costumes in time with the beat. It's a lot less weird than it sounds, trust us.
So click through, pick your favourites and start downloading. You can guarantee they'll be a thousand or more new games on the App store clamouring for your attention by the time you get to the end.
