The team over at NokNok has put together a review of Brain Challenge, the mental exercise game for the N-Gage platform.
What’s different about this review is that it’s a nice, quick video review, so you can enjoy gameplay footage and commentary while seeing what the game really looks like.
Take a look here.
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.”

Keynote Title: “Play with anybody everywhere — context, the new paradigm for game play”
With an installed base of millions of N-Gage compatible devices, mobile gaming plays a key role in the company’s recent move into the services market. Through Ovi, Nokia’s gateway to Internet services, people will be able to easily access games, communities and other content with their mobile device. With over three billion mobile phones globally, the mobile device is quickly becoming the platform of choice to enjoy games and a wide range of digital content. Vanjoki will present Nokia’s move into context aware services and the impact that mobile devices are having on entertainment around the world and the role that N-Gage will play in evolving mobile games experiences and the industry.
