The best Nokia games in 2010 has been something of a mixed bag, largely due to the demise of N-Gage. However, the Nokia Ovi Store has made sure those with a gaming habit have been happily kept content with action. Here we give you our run down of the best Nokia games in 2010.

The choice of game you play often depends on the type of person you are and also how much time you have to dedicate yourself to the action. However, one thing is for sure, games are fun and allow you to while away those boring bits when travelling or just just when you need to kick back and relax.

We've trawled back through the host of games we've revealed this year to find our top scoring favourites. See if you agree by downloading the top choices:

Ovi Maps Challenge

Ovi Maps Challenge is a fun way to enhance your knowledge of the world and its countries. What could have been a repetitive title is instead fun, very playable and educational. It might lack the addictive must play nature of some games, but Ovi Maps Challenge comes well recommended. It’s free too!

RiverRaider

Remember River Raid on the Atari? It’s back, on the Ovi Store. For something decidedly old-school looking RiverRaider delivers retro style gaming to touchscreen Nokia smartphones in this utterly playable water-based ship shoot-em-up. Summing up this game, what it lacks in the wow factor it makes up for in being very playable.

BalanceToyBricks

BalanceToyBricks is a game that has its description firmly explained in its title. You attempt to balance toy bricks on a precarious piece of wood, without letting them drop down. BalanceToyBricks is a fun Ovi Store game well worth downloading to your touchscreen Nokia. It’s challenging, addictive and a joy to play. And it’s free!

Shark or Die

What has to be the best name for a game all year sounds more like the title of a lost Rocket Form the Crypt album! However, Shark or Die is in that elusive category of games where you get to play as one of the bad guys. Here, the bad guy is a meat hungry shark with as much of an appetite for human flesh to make Jaws look a lightweight.

Bash A Mole

An invasion of the tunnelling critters have bombarded your lawn, and its up to you to show ‘em! We’ve been here before but Bash A Mole really shows how it’s done. What's more, Bash A Mole is an addictive, free title with great graphics and fun gameplay. There isn’t much to it, but what there is presents a fun diversion worth having.
