Pocket Gamer takes a look at the new Nokia N81 and N95 devices, but focuses on the important stuff: How are they for games?

“The [N81's] slider, which is currently available for purchase, is surprisingly well-equipped for gaming. Along with a traditional orientation that situates the phone upright for play, the device can be tilted on its side for a landscape presentation. This option won’t be available for all titles since it isn’t native to the device; instead, it’ll be supported on a game-by-game basis.”

The writer goes on to discuss the N95, the pre-installed game demos, and the overall N-Gage experience that is coming soon, including a quick overview of N-Gage Points.

Definitely worth checking out. Another article on the same site covers EA Mobile’s private briefing at the recent CTIA show, including coverage of Nokia and N-Gage.

Finally if you’d rather watch than read, the latest episode of the Smartphones Show includes a hands-on review of the new Nokia N95 8GB. See it here.
