The Quality Index boasts over 60,000 reviews from websites like 148Apps, Pocket Gamer, and TouchGen, and uses a unique metric to create a single definitive score for each iPhone title.
While the mesmeric Lionel Messi and his Barcelona brethren deservedly lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy on Saturday, the backroom staff over at X2 Games has reason to celebrate, too, as its universally praised First Touch Soccer took home Qi's trinket for top iPhone game of May.
The star of Squeenix's captivating RPG prequel Chaos Rings Omega Veig, meanwhile, had to overcome opponents in the Arc Arena and evade the attentions of Kiloo's highflying Frisbee Forever to claim second place on our leaderboard this month.

N.B. While we only display the average score to one decimal place, the list is generated to further significant figures. We just don't show them all.
And, naturally, this is a static graph based on live listings which are subject to constant change as new releases and reviews emerge.
In order to provide a regular marker of the critical zeitgeist, however, we will continue to round up the best of the iPhone games released each month to provide the definitive Quality Index top ten.
