Nokia N-Gage now live

Those of you longing for a better mobile gaming experience will be pleased to know that Nokia have now made the new N-Gage gaming service live on their web site. Currently only of any use for owners of Nokia N81, N82, and N95 phones, the N-Gage service will be rolled out to N73 and N93 owners in the coming months. N-Gage, of course, used to be a phone in its own right, but after performing dismally, it was pulled by Nokia. The new N-Gage platform seeks to resurrect the concept of mobile gaming, but on existing phones, rather than on a dedicated gaming phone. Gizmodo had a sneak peek of N-Gage back in February at the Mobile World Congress event, and described it as like X-Box Live for mobile. You can create your own player profile on your phone, which will store details of your games, scores and your friends. Your profile can then be shared with others, creating a social experience, and you can play online via your phone with other players.
