E.a are gonna be releasing top sport titles on the n-gage when it is released! Titles such as fifa and tiger woods! That will probably make a few more people buy it!

all well and good, but EA already sell Tiger Woods and Fifa 2003 for regular phone users, which are very basic 2D conversions of the regular games, so I'd expect thats all the N-Gage versions will be, except they'll be in a different box.

but what phones are they for? You never know, they might of made a bit more of an effort? Id like to see some demos of them just to check them out.
The nokia website (www.nokia.com) has details on the N-Gage, but all it really is is a Game Boy Advance that can make phone calls and I don't think it will catch on. Thats my opinion anyway.
The games that Daedaus was talking about can be played on all the current Nokia colour phones and probably other makes too.
Will there be a big difference between the ones available now and ones for the N-Gage? I doubt it.

I see it has some demos on it now. They look better than i expected, but your right in saying they are along the lines of the gameboy. Suppose we cant expect too much from nokias first venture into gaming.

we can expect alot more. if you've seen the demos of EA's games then maybe you should have a look at the other games. If you know anything about N-Gage, you'll notice the full 3D graphics on all the other games, such a Tony Hawks and Tomb Raider (both exact conversitons of the Playstation version). However, due to the lack of any dedicated 3D graphics chip, the frame rate is very slow and alot of the games tend to jerk and make your eyes strain to see it clearly (tho personaly i think this has somehting to do with Nokia's absolute stupiditly because of their decision to include only a 4096 colour display on the N-Gage rather than a 65,000 colour screen, which is standard on many mobiles today).

yeah, it seems whilst they have got a good quality of game, its the systems specs. which dont allow you to play it at its full potential, a problem i keep hearing people talk about!
I think EA would be able to use the 3D engine on the N-gage to make some good games!
