There's a new sister site to the Unofficial Nokia Gaming Blog, called N-Gage School. Its aim is to show not just how to install and use the new N-Gage platform, but also all the stuff that the N-Gage site doesn't talk about like how to install other kinds of games. It should be building up gradually, but there are already some useful tutorials there so check it out:http://ngageschool.blogspot.com

UPDATE 23/5/2008: Nokia have changed their minds!Apologies for the low number of updates recently, but I've been extremely busy, partly on the All About N-Gage site where I'm one of the writers.However, something really big has now come up: Nokia has stated that if you upgrade from your N-Gage-compatible phone to a new N-Gage-compatible phone, you cannot take your games collection with you.In

You can see a gameplay video of Nokia's old-school shoot-em-up Space Impact: Kappa Base above, and I've also done a review of it for All About N-Gage:http://www.allaboutngage.com/reviews/item/Space_Impact_Kappa_Base_for_N-Gage.phpIn short, this is a great game for anyone who loves classic scrolling shoot-em-ups, and it has enough variety in the weapons and vessel upgrades to make it worth

Well, the new N-Gage platform has fully launched. If you want to know more about it, and how to get it on your phone, try reading the All About N-Gage FAQ which has all the info you need on the new N-Gage platform.Speaking of All About N-Gage, I've been busy writing AAN reviews of the new games.

Hooked On: Creatures Of The Deep is one of Nokia's big first party games for the new N-Gage platform launch, and combines a 3D fishing simulator with elements of role playing games. I've done a couple of gameplay videos above, and a review of HO:COTD for All About N-Gage at the link below:http://www.allaboutngage.com/reviews/item/Hooked_On_Creatures_Of_The_Deep_for_N-Gage.phpIt's a great game

Block Breaker Deluxe is a Breakout/Arkanoid clone for Nokia's next generation N-Gage gaming platform. As with all such clones, the basic idea is to bounce a ball into a row of bricks at the top of the screen, but there are a number of unusual twists and turns to complicate this task such as unusual bricks, special bonuses and enemy bosses.You can watch a gameplay video above, and I've done a

What is First Access? Has N-Gage launched yet?Nokia's new N-Gage gaming platform is now in a public beta test called "First Access", which is open to anyone with a Nokia N81 or N81 8GB smartphone. Because it's a beta test, not all features are available and it only has a limited selection of games.

Apologies for the long silence on this blog, I've had a lot of work stuff to deal with lately, but I'm back and so is this site.To start us off again, here's a list of the games that S60 phone owners really should have (click on the name of a game to see more details about it including a video):1.

Four In A Line is a phone version of the classic Connect 4 board game. It's been made by the acclaimed mobile game developer ZingMagic, who've been making traditional games for portable devices since the days of the Psion Organisers. In case you've never heard of it, the aim of Connect Four is to make a line of four of your playing counters horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The board is

Championship Manager 2008 for Java is a soccer football managerment simulator, based on the famous PC game of the same name. It's been written to include as many options as possible from the PC original, and is probably the most complex and in-depth football management game available on mobile phones.I wanted to do a proper review of this, but to be honest I've never actually used a footie

Dreamway is a 2D racing game similar in spirit to the old Super Sprint arcade machine, with a top-down view of tiny cars racing round a track. Unlike Super Sprint, the track does scroll somewhat, but not much.As well as just racing, if you play the game on Medium or Hard settings you'll see items appear on the track which can help or harm you. In theory there are lots of different types, but in

Lost In The Pyramid is an odd adventure game featuring a rather disconnected series of events that have you ending up inside an Egyptian pyramid.I've done a gameplay video of the first few minutes as displayed above, and a review for All About Symbian (which includes screenshots) at the link below:http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/reviews/item/Lost_In_The_Pyramid_for_S60_3rd_Edition.phpThe game

Meteor is a Breakout/Arkanoid clone for S60 phones. As with most clones, the game has been made more complex by adding various bonuses and special blocks, as well as the occasional flying saucer which drops bombs on you.I've done a gameplay video above and a review for All About Symbian at the link below:http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/reviews/item/Meteor_for_S60_3rd_Edition_Review.phpThere isn't

Sola Rola is, quite simply, the best Java game I have ever played. It's got lovely graphics and lovely gameplay, a low price, and a sense of humour, so you couldn't really ask for more. It's a cute wobbly 2D puzzle/platformer with a strange world full of changing environments, timebombs, lava flows, ropes, rocks, nasty monsters, disappearing clouds, cars, lifts and weird aliens. It starts out

Don't get too excited, this isn't the console or PC game, it's a 2D Java platformer. Tomb Raider Anniversary for Java-compatible mobile phones looks and plays very much like the Tomb Raider games for the Game Boy Color which appeared during the 1990s, with a similar quality of graphics and animation. This isn't a bad thing incidentally, as the GBC games received good reviews.In many ways this is

Can I use Flash Lite games on my Nokia phone?Compatibility depends on which version the game requires, and whether your phone supports that version. The basic idea is to get a game with a Flash Lite version number that's the same as or lower than the Flash Lite version number of your phone.For example: - A Flash Lite 1.1 game will work on any phone which has support for Flash Lite 1.1 or higher (

Can I use S60 games on my Nokia phone?The answer to the question above is "maybe". It depends on whether you have an S60-compatible phone, and whether you have the right version of S60 for the game you want to play.To see if you can use S60 games on your phone, check whether your phone appears on the lists below.(Please note that S60 3rd Edition is not backwards compatible, so S60 2nd or 1st
