Bounce Boing Voyage now available on N-Gage
You wait weeks for new N-Gage games and then they all come at once! Nokia's first party game Bounce Boing Voyage, a 3D remake of the classic embedded Bounce games, is now available in the N-Gage application's showroom (if you can't see it select Options and then Update Now). You can watch the rather amusing official trailer by visiting the Bounce Boing Voyage game page on All About N-Gage.
Reset Generation: The first Mega Game of the new N-Gage platform
All About N-Gage (like its sister-site All About Symbian) is notoriously picky about which games get its coveted "Mega Game" award, with only perhaps a couple of titles a year getting it. We're therefore very glad to announce that Nokia's latest title Reset Generation has achieved this accolade, and you can find out how it did it by reading Ewan Spence's in-depth review of the game. This is by AAN's reckoning the best N-Gage game so far, and we recommend it to absolutely everyone. If you haven't tried it yet, head on over to the official website where you can play the full version for free.
How to put the full version of Reset Generation on your own blog or website
Nokia's arguably missed a trick by not promoting Reset Generation's embedding ability, which lets you put the entire full game (including multiplayer online) on your own blog or site using a tiny bit of HTML code. You can find out how to embed the game by clicking on this item's headline, and if you've already embedded the game you might want to post a link to your site in the comments thread.
Reset Generation out now on N-Gage and PC
The long-awaited online multiplayer puzzle/strategy game Reset Generation is now available from the N-Gage application's showroom (use the "Update Now" option if you can't see it). UPDATE: The PC version has also now launched, you can play it through your browser for free on All About N-Gage (Windows only, but it works with both Firefox and IE). The PC version is identical to the N-Gage version, including online multiplayer.

The Megascreen: Snake on 3000 computers
After creating the world's largest human snake earlier this year, the fun continues at N-Gage's marketing department as they put the game Snake and some other titles on three thousand computers at the Assembly 2008 happening in Helsinki (or at least the press release talks about 3000 computers, the video only mentions 975). You can see the full video below...
