After much deliberation – well, approximately a year’s worth, to be fair – Andrew eventually whittled down the thousands upon thousands of iOS games released in 2010 to 10.

The Top 10, we named it.

And standing proudly aloft AppSpy’s best of the best compilation was Chaos Rings, a JRPG built by the veritable dream team of Square Enix and Media.Vision.

The reasons for its incredible acclaim? Fast-paced combat, impeccable character development, and sublime visuals to name but three.

Therefore, the news that a prequel entitled Chaos Rings Omega is launching on iPhone next month should leave you positively frothing at the mouth. Ok: very excited then.

Japanese games magazine Famitsu, who broke the Omega story, also reports that a sequel to Chaos Rings is on the cards, having been approached by Square Enix to run a teaser ad on its pages for the yet-to-be-formally-announced follow-up.

Yes, it’s tentatively called Chaos Rings II.
