Lately, Nokia’s mobile gaming division has been quite busy. We’ll try to recap all the things that happened during the last week or so. Let’s roll…
- First we saw Nokia Games Publishing releasing Yamake, an easy to use set of tools that allows players to create their own games from a range of mini games. Users add text, pictures, audio and video clips to compile a new game, which later they can play or share with their buddies through N-Gage Arena. Full release is available from here.
- Then, THQ Wireless announced it will bring Team17′s Worms World Party to N-Gage (release), while Glu Mobile unveiled initial line-up of its upcoming N-Gage titles. Three games were mentioned in the release – Speed Racer, Super Slam Ping Pong! and The Dark Knight.
- Finally, PopCap Games announced it will bring “connected mobile Java games” to Nokia’s SNAP Mobile platform. Award-winning Chuzzle is the first game to be re-developed by PopCap under a multi-game agreement.
In the meantime, Nokia is showcasing (booth #5628) the latest in mobile gaming at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, California. Here’s the link to that release as well.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
