Reset Generation: One of the Most Innovative of 2008
Pocket Gamer.biz has put together their list of the thirty most innovative mobile games of 2008, across all platforms, and we were pleasantly surprised to see Reset Generation named on the list. Here’s just part of what they had to say about it:
“Reset Generation scored a perfect 10 when reviewed on Pocket Gamer - a score that’s since provoked some debate among developers thanks to the game’s hardcore nature. However, nobody would deny that the N-Gage game was truly innovative…. [A]s a signpost for how a mobile game can extend outside mobile, it was hugely significant.”
When asked for a comment, executive producer Scott Foe said, “We’re ecstatic to have Reset Generation represent Nokia Games Publishing on Pocket Gamer’s list of Most Innovative Games for 2008, and we applaud all of the titles mentioned. Bars are never set, and records always need cutting: We have bigger plans for the future.”
The multi-platform title Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was also named on the list at #6. The current article only lists the top ten, so we’ll have to wait on pins and needles over the next week or so for the rest of the list, to see if any other N-Gage games made the cut.
What do you think are the most innovative N-Gage games? Which other ones deserve to be on this list and why?
Update: The next part of the list is up, adding Space Impact Kappa Base.

why the hell are EA and Gameloft using online features in there java and iphone games yet when it comes to n-gage they are just dumping lazy ported games with rankings only on us ?
It’s like they dont care for n-gage and don’t see a long term future here even though it’s perfectly set up for online feature’s
