With the release of iOS 10, iMessage has been given a serious overhaul. Along with stickers, animations, drawings, and more, it's now got a bunch of secret, hidden games you can play against your friends, right within iMessage.

Let's take a look at some of the best (and worst) ones:

Words With Friends

Remember Words With Friends? Ahh, 2009 was one great year, wasn't it?

Anyway, enough reminiscing. Words With Friends is still as good now as it was seven years ago - the problem was everyone stopped playing it. Maybe iMessage integration will solve that (if anyone downloads iOS 10, that is).

Now to wait for Draw Something.

Draughts / Checkers

Hey, it's everybody's second favourite game set on a black and white square board! That's right, the game that's like chess but not as good is back, with iMessage integration! Because that's the kick up the backside this ancient games has been crying out for.

I guess it's no worse than Facebook Messenger having chess embedded, is it?

Poker, Battleships(ish), pool, and anagrams

Now we're talking. Cold hard classics, right here. They're all part of a generous package called GamePidgeon. Get it downloaded.

Noughts and Crosses / TicTacToe

Big fan of that tactic where you start in the corner and it's pretty much unbeatable. Use it here, annoy your friends! It's the greatest fun you can have this side of the moon (maybe).
