N-Gage hacked to work on any Nokia handset

 Just a day after the N-Gage preview/soft launch on the N81, the service has been hacked to work on any Nokia handset. You can either opt to download the hacked version, or follow some fairly easy steps so you can nonchalantly tell your friends you hacked your phone and, if they're lucky, you can hack theirs.
One thing you should keep in mind, however, is that this isn't the full launch -- or really the relaunch, we haven't forgotten about side-talkin' -- of the N-Gage platform; all your online data will get erased when the real thing rolls out.

 Crash Bandicoot will be coming out on Nokia’s N-Gage mobile gaming platform this fall. Nokia has reportedly teamed up with Vivendi Games to bring the marsupial to your handset. As someone who has played this game on the Playstation I can’t even imagine what it will look like, or how it will play on a mobile phone. I guess we’ll all find out pretty soon.

N-Gage to live on as multiplayer gaming service
Added on 2007-08-27 12:38:00

 Nokia's N-Gage was a bad phone and an even worse gaming platform. It quickly became more of a joke than an actual handset, had its 15-minutes of internet fame, and died out within the same week. For some inexplicable reason, Nokia refuses to let the memory of their mistake fade. They're not reviving the N-Gage as an actual platform, but rather as a multiplayer gaming service. The ghost of the N-Gage will haunt many of Nokia's Series 60 devices, starting this fall. Nokia also announced plans to eventually spread the N-Gage to the rest of the series, like some sort of credibility-destroying disease. Features of the new N-Gage include a friends list and a ranking system. These are fairly basic features, but Nokia insisted on citing the inspiration for their inclusion: "one avid female gamer" claimed she didn't like losing to better player online. This may be the first documented incident of anyone ever being dissatisfied with losing in an online game. The Internet was unavailable for comment.
We honestly don't know why Nokia would chose to revive a name that is so rife with negative connotation. The article claims Nokia seeks "redemption." Only time will tell if Nokia vindicates their failure or if N-Gage history will repeat itself a third time.
