Turns out that this is only part of the bigger picture, as the Nokia Ovi Blog now reveal Exclusion is a gateway drug game into the Conspiracy for Good project.

Unsure if the Tim Kring link is that good, Heroes was great at points, utterly useless at others .... but the Mainframe Liberator game is quite enjoyable. Exclusion is one that so far I can't quite get the hang of ....

Eta - both great looking games, but Nokia need to actually PROMOTE them if they want to try and establish the Symbian platform for gaming.
