The Apple Watch has been all the talk over the last 24-hours following its arrival in stores across the world. You can't buy it, but you can play with it and preorder it ahead of the official April 24 release. One of the big talking points about the wearable device is its lack of gaming experiences, with only 10 titles even announced for the Apple Watch at the time of this writing - very few of which are expected to be available at launch. It's a stark difference to the iPhone, where nine of the top ten apps in 2014 were games!

Battery life, screen size and control options being the main sticking points.
