N-Gage promotion in Hong Kong

[Neil Koch]

Thought some of you might be interested in how Nokia is promoting the N-Gage in other countries. In Hong Kong, they have had a model going around dressed like Lara Croft:

I've also seen the taco in a couple of movies, most notably "Heroic Duo" (this movie actually came out over the summer, so they must have sent them a early version to use).

Heh, cute stuff. The Hong Kong version looks better than the original ;)

I guess it's reached that point:

They're using hot chicks and guns to sell their game system. That's sure as shit the only way I'd buy one: a hot chick or the threat of bodily harm.

The girl is a model/"actress" named Rosemary Vandenbroucke, just in case you were wondering.

And actually, I think Core stole the design for Lara's outfit from a Jackie Chan movie called City Hunter:

There is also a part where Jackie turns into various characters from Street Fighter II (sorry about the poor quality pic, that's Jackie as E Honda):
