Reset Preview
All About N-Gage has another preview of Reset Generation up, this time from Evan Zelfden, who attended the Reset Generation unveiling at the Cartoon Art Museum a couple weeks ago. He really keys in on the cross-platform nature and portability of the application as a widget that can be embedded in websites and across the Internet.
He notes:
“While the game will cost between $10 and $14 on the mobile, the PC version will be completely free to play. And not only can you play it on the official web site, you can embed it in your Facebook profile, or your blog, or anywhere else on the internet.
“This is where the game’s architects expect word-of-mouth to play a part. Foe notes that it’s a game that’s created its own promotion. The ultimate hope is that PC players will like the game and want to play it when they’re not chained to desks and desktops. Which means they’ll need to purchase a Nokia N-Gage-compatible device in future. It’s a long-range strategy, but it’s at the heart of the cross-platform approach, it explains why Reset Generation is free for PCs, and also why so much effort was concentrated on good, addictive gameplay.”
It’s another great preview, so please take a look.

Ah, um, it’s not actually by Rafe Blandford (and I mistakenly credited it to Ewan Spence for a few hours to complicate matters further).
It’s actually by a guest writer called Evan Zelfden, his name’s at the bottom of the page.
Apologies for the confusing credits on the articles.
