N Gage goodness

[ghostangelofcky]

So I recently just picked up a minty n-gage, the org model. Now as a phone it's kinda funky but the games seem pretty cool. So far I have...

Red Faction
THPS
Tomb Raider
Sonic N
Colin Mcrae

Anyone else have one of these, what are som other good games and ones to stay away from?

Well, if you liked those games, you should check out Rayman 3, Ashen, and super monkey ball.
I haven't played that many other ngage games, but I can tell you that Virtua Tennis is really awful, and I find Call of duty unplayable because it's so choppy. Pandemonium is okay as a diversion, but it's not much of a game either.

Ghost Recon is a surprisingly fun game. Graphics aren't too hot and it's even slower paced than the PC version, but it still retains the enjoyable squad based action fun.

and you quite simply MUST play Pathway to Glory :)

Moving this to Modern Gaming.

I've got an N-Gage QD, and around 30+ titles for it (thanks, GameStop/EB Games, for marking them down to next to nothing!). Personal favorites: Requiem of Hell, The Roots, Ashen, Xanadu Next, Glimmerati, Atari Retro (Palm OS game compatible with Symbian OS), and Atari Masterpieces volume 1. Games that I don't have but look promising: System Rush, Asphault: Urban GT 2, Atari Masterpieces volume 2, Payload, RIFTS, and Mile High Pinball. Games to pass on: Crash Nitro Racing, Bomberman, Red Faction, Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey, and Operation Shadow. Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey is rendered in polygons, and the machine can barely keep up. It makes the whole experience slow as molasses. Operation Shadow is like the classic arcade game Commando done in an over the shoulder 3D perspective. Graphically, it's not too bad, but gameplay wise, it's dull. Bomberman is like a cheap freeware game, and Crash Nitro Racing is ugly as sin and doesn't work too well with the vertical screen.

Sign up to Nokia's official N-Gage forums. That'll let you download game demos, along with the free game Snakes. It's a good game, with the classic Snakes gameplay but with Tron/Tempest 2000 style 3D visuals.

The Asphalt games are damn good racers as well. I'd also recommend getting a good MMC storage card (256 MB should do) and loading that bitch full of emulators. Picodrive (Genesis), the SMS/GG emulator (can't remember the name, but it's by the same guy), and the MAME port are all particularly good.
