Brain Challenge Review
Pocket Gamer gives their noggins a workout with this review of Brain Challenge. Read the whole thing here.
Another Music Store
Nokia’s keeping it busy with the other services too. This time, we’ve opened another music store, this one in Singapore.
Hello gamers, it’s a beautiful day for play, and for rounding up N-Gage news.
• First up the “official” N-Gage news. I have received a mysterious tip that a certain Dr. Mordecai Egan has quite an extensive blog regarding alien abductions and visitations. Normally such matters are handled by Nokia’s Crashed Saucer Recovery Unit, and not the N-Gage Blog, but I’m told the man is associated with the Space Impact project in some manner, so perhaps this requires further investigation on your part.
• In other news, The Great Gameloft Giveaway is still in full swing this week, so jump on in and play a Gameloft game for your chance to enter fantastic prizes. Operators are standing by.
• Next up, Tzer2 on All About N-Gage has posted up some N-Gage related videos, including the Human Snake viral, the Making of the Human Snake Viral, and what looks like (and I’m only guessing, first time I’ve seen it) an N-Gage tribute from our test department.
• All About Symbian wants to know what N-Gage games you’re looking forward to, so they have a new poll up. With close to 200 votes already in, Star Wars and ONE are in the lead. No sign of Project White Rock on the list, although it will be unveiled at a press event this Friday.
• Symbian Guru has posted a two-piece post about Nokia, the N95, and some of its competitors: “What are the next challenges for Nokia? Software, software, software, that is the first and biggest challenge.” Check out parts I & II here.
• And finally, N-Gation has posted up its review of Electronic Arts’ Tetris for the N-Gage platform, nothing: “My first impressions for the game were great nother Tetris game? Soon as that downloaded and installed – My mind was completely changed. It’s a fantastic game.”
Enter our drawing for a brand new Nokia handset and Gameloft prize pack. All you have to do is download and play a Gameloft game for your N-Gage, and submit one high score.
We are giving away a brand new Nokia N81 8GB or Nokia N95 8GB (the choice is yours!) every week for the next five weeks! Not only that, you will also get a Gameloft Prize Pack crammed full of more N-Gage and Gameloft gaming goodies! Just the perfect thing for the gamer on the go.

The Asia-Pacific region had its special promotion (a Hooked On: Creatures of the Deep code bundled in some N81 boxes), now it’s Europe’s turn. According to the Kickoff site:
Install the N-Gage application on your compatible Nokia Nseries device and you will get a free license for the full version of the EA SPORTS™ famed football franchise FIFA 2008.
All you need to do is to follow the instructions to download the application first, then the game and finally request the activation code.
This is a limited offer with a limited number of available codes, so act now!
If you ever wanted to play Breakout with human beings — or just wanted to see Nokia throwing some more support behind N-Gage — you’ll want to check out this new viral video thingy called Get Out and Play!
It features a “chiseled bloke,” in the words of Pocket Gamer, starting a giant Snakes procession through an unnamed metropolis, and includes an interesting stop-motion version of the classic tile breaking game.
What are your reactions?
As part of an upcoming special event focused on Gameloft titles, we’d like to give you the opportunity to put questions to a representative Gameloft, one of our third party publishing partners on the N-Gage platform.
So if you have any questions about individual Gameloft games, the company’s future efforts on the N-Gage platform, or general questions about Gameloft and mobile gaming, please add them here as a reply to this post. Gameloft titles for N-Gage include Asphalt 3, Brain Challenge, Block Breaker Deluxe, Dogz, Brothers in Arms, and Midnight Pool.
We will go through the questions, sort them and edit them, and submit them to Gameloft as part of this upcoming event.
Thanks in advance!
Update: The Questions period is now closed.
Do you want to develop mobile games? Do you want to win prizes or even have your game published by Nokia? Then you came to the right blog post.
We are pleased to announce the Mobile Games Innovation Challenge, your chance to rock the gaming world. Originally announced at GDC, the Challenge has just gone live, inviting you to submit your mobile game concept.
We are looking for the best, most ground breaking concepts from the brightest and most creative minds in our industry. This is your chance to shock the mobile gaming world and possibly have your game concept published by Nokia.
For those of you in the Asia-Pacific region that are eligible for the Hooked On: Creatures of the Deep special offer included with your Nokia N81, I have an update for you from the promotion team:
1. The last batch of Activation Codes was sent on March 14, and many players have received them and are enjoying the fishing adventure of a lifetime
2. The next Activation Codes will be sent for players who have registered after March 14. However due to technical issues these codes cannot be sent out until after the N-Gage Go Live date.
We appreciate your patience, and look forward to comparing fishing trophies with you in the N-Gage Arena.
