After getting to know about this game since May, Crash Bandicoot is finally out!

The game kinda reminds me of Mario Kart but with lousy graphics. Yes. I am actually quite dissapointed with  the graphics as I have seen better looking N-gage games before this and I expected this to be the same.

Gameplay is great. No lag…. although I keep getting the same power-ups(missile, oil and shield) oh yeah in this game you get power-ups to help you attack other players or to speed up.

Anyhow, I would recommend you to go download the trial and only buy it if you think it’s worth yea.

Download it here at Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kard 3D page.

Yes! It’s out!.. but it has not been made available on the N-gage website yet.

The only way to download the game is through the N-gage app on your phone. Go and view the showroom and you will get to see the Resident Evil game.

Watch this video of the game.

I’ve actually gone through the hassle the download the file off the app and you now can click on the download button below to get the exe file.

Was surfing the N-gage site just now to find out that 2 of my favourite games are coming to the N-gage platform!

Go head-to-head with Spielberg’s BOOM BLOX! Slide on ice blocks, blast blocks with bombs, and bounce off springs to solve brain-twisting puzzles and level the playing field. Enjoy non-stop fun as you advance through forty levels and reach your target score. Master the in-game puzzles then design your own custom creations with the level editor. Blast ‘em with BOOM BLOX!

This is how it looks like on N-gage.

Check out the trailer for BoomBlox (Wii version) to get a rough idea how the game will be like.

The 2nd game is Metal Gear Solid, which I think does not need anymore introduction.

METAL GEAR SOLID MOBILE features dramatic 3D art displays and camera work that greatly surpasses the quality standard of today’s mobile games. Players will face the extreme tension of solitary infiltration in this version of the tactical espionage action game.

Here’s a screenshot.

Check out the trailer for MGS Mobile on N-gage.

Hooray for N78 and 6210 Navigator users as Nokia has extended the compatibility of N-gage platform to these 2 devices.

Now more people can play games like Reset Generation, System Rush, ONE, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.. and many more!

Click these 2 buttons below if you have any one of the 2 mentioned devices.

Alternatively, you can point your phone browser to n-gage.mobi/d and select your phone model from the list.

Other phones compatible with the platform include the 5320 XpressMusic, N79, N81, N81 8GB, N82, N85, N95, N95 8GB and N96

Hello there… I guess it’s fun to list out what I do daily with my N96… as in the main things I do… calls and SMS not included in this list.

So every morning, my alarm wakes me up.

I usually set a few alarm times so that it will make noise at different times to slowly wake me up.

Then off to work I go.

When I’m stucked in the traffic jam, I will check on all my bookmarks using the built in browser. Sometimes I hope I get stucked in the traffic longer so that I can check each and every site that I bookmarked. lol

When I am in the office, I will lift out the kickstand, switch on my video podcasts and place my N96 under my LCD monitor so that I can watch while doing my work. Dual screen? Soft of.

When I’m off work, I sometimes go meet my friends for dinner or movies. Then I’ll open Friend View, update my location and status.

When I reach home, I’ll battle some N-gage online players from another country in a game of Reset Generation or ONE. I seriously love Reset. Super addictive.

Right before I go to sleep, I’ll update my podcasts subscription list to check if there are any new ones. I’ll then let my N96 to download the podcast files over wifi and off to bed I go.

What do you do with your phones everyday?

Photo above is not real ok… ahah just did it to support this post.

Anyway… Jaakko Kaidesoja, head of Nokia’s gaming operations told Reuters in an interview that Nokia is working on a touchscreen support for N-gage and will roll out the optimized N-gage client early next year.

Other than that, he also said that the firm will take 1 month to consider whether or not to expand N-gage to the Nokia N73 since it has limited computing power… but if it works out, N-gage will be able to cover more of the user base since Nokia has sold 20 million of it, making it the world’s most sold smartphone.

Now that we are done with that…. let me ask you a question.

“Are you an N-gage player yet?

If not, go and create a player name, install the N-gage client and get yourselves some games to play!

While you are at it, add me too.. my player name is “smashpop”…. currently playing Reset Generation and ONE.

Hi all, I have been filling up my free time with a lot of light saber action these few days and I have finally completed the new Star Wars game on the N-gage. Woot!

Ok let me tell you about the interface and graphics in today’s post.

The menu has a few layers… starting off with Play, Journal, Ranking, Help, Options, N-gage, About and Exit. Each option branches to sublayers and that again, branch to another sub sub layer.

Moving from one option to another is super fast and doesnt lag at all.(A lot of games do… probably cos this is specially made for N-gage)

Oh one thing I like about this game is that one can set the volume by pressing the volume buttons on the side of the phone.. (again.. 90% of the games out there dont allow tihs)

The graphics is superb… seriously, I have never played a game on a mobile phone with such good quality graphics.. can you see how real it is? the last photo looks just like a scene from Star Wars movie…

The sound effect is superb… every action is matched with a sound with totally no lag at all… the swoosh created by the light saber, the background music, and the explosion sounds… made it feel more like a movie than a game…

Graphics & audio wise, I rate it 9.5/10.

Next post: Gameplay!

The most anticipated N-gage game of the year has been released!

Reset Generation is the first cross-platform game whereby users can play it in their N-gage enabled devices as well as on the PC! The game is most likely to appeal more to those whom has been playing those old school game on cartridges and blowing up walls using bombs or saving princess at the end of the games they played.

The gameplay is similar to Bomberman but this one has a lot more other features and the producers has actually put in elements of many games in it. Play it and you might spot some familiar looking characters in it, eg: hedgehog, plumbers, princess, bomber etc.

Go download Reset Generation via the N-gage application now or you can play the web version at ResetGeneration.com
