Over on All About N-Gage, we've reviewed the arcade racing game Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D, and we've also published the results of our readers poll on the best N-Gage game of 2008, along with the personal picks of the AAN/AAS staff.
N-Gage Vouchers Hit The Road
How do you let people know that their mobile phone plays games? Well if you are Nokia and the country is Indonesia, you hire a promotional bus (reports the Mobile Games Blog). As the bus tours the country, staff on board will demonstrate to people how to get the N-Gage client on their phone and download the demos themselves. And of course show them how to purchase the games using pre-pay vouchers.
AAN asks for your favourite N-Gage game of 2008
Over on All About N-Gage, we've just started a poll to find people's favourite N-Gage game of 2008. Head on over to the survey thread to vote, and remember this is just a silly bit of fun! :-) You may also want to check out the results of AAN's end-of-year readers poll, where we asked which phone they used for N-Gage, and which announced game they were most anticipating.
Resident Evil: Degeneration
It's the first N-Gage survival horror title and it involves killing large numbers of zombies in a wrecked airport. But is it any good? Find out with Ewan as he goes a-blasting in Resident Evil: Degeneration. Along the way he finds the game design too 'square', the default controls too frustrating and the graphics too limited. Yet, despite all this, he still recommends it overall as 'fun' for all would-be zombie vigilantes...

N-Gage Friday: Festive Feature or Here To Stay?
What happens when you have regular releases, and everyone expects a game on a certain day? You have a good feeling building around your platform. Will Nokia continue the regularity of the N-Gage game releases in 2009? Ewan think aloud on what could happen in the New Year.
Resident Evil Degeneration available on N-Gage platform
Yes, we know we're very late in reporting this, but better late than never... The new installment of Capcom's infamous franchise Resident Evil: Degeneration is available on the N-Gage platform. Based on a recent CGI film of the same name, RE:D is a horror survival game where you have to fight zombies in an airport. Not very seasonal, but there you go! You can get the game from the N-Gage application's showroom section, if you can't see it select "Options" and "Update Now" and then "Available Games", and you may also see it in the "Latest Games" section.
Crash Bandicoot Smashes Onto the N-Gage Platform
Crash! On the N-Gage. Or more precisely Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3-D makes an appearance just in time for Christmas. The themed arcade karting game based on the Crash Brandicoot characters makes a return to the N-Gage, after a rather poor effort on the N-Gage classic. Thankfully Vivendi's little racer is far more fun this time around. The free demo is online now, and the full game is 8 Euros.
Review: Metal Gear Solid Mobile for N-Gage
It's possibly the best game on N-Gage - ever. Or so we reckon, with Ewan Spence giving Metal Gear Solid Mobile a much-earned 90% score and a Megagame award on All About N-Gage. From the atmosphere to innovative gameplay and plenty of surprises along the way, MGS Mobile is solid stealth combat and fully worthy of its place in the Metal Gear Solid canon.
