N-Gage is dead.............
In October, 2003 Nokia launched its first gaming non-camera phone, N-GAGE with an in-built radio fm, 3D gaming and some other features. After a no. of months, we got to see the launch of its expansion, N-GAGE QD with no radio but with a comfortable mmc slot. Nokia was criticized and was said to take wrong path as the phone did not have a camera either.

The phone was not a great success for nokia but is very popular among gamers.
And finally nokia has announced that it will not make another n-gage in the future. that was very sad seeing the death of a phone that really changed the outlook of the people towards mobile gaming.

The latest update is that there will be no n-gage 3 but n-gage official games are likely to be produced but not for the n-gage.They are for the n-series phones like N91. There are no games to be launched for the n-gage now.

Nokia will now produce next gen., high resolution games for the next gen. mobiles. Nokia is also likely to give the other pfones a compatibility to the n-gage official games so that these phones will be able to play n-gage games.

All the other n-gagers, feel free to share your emotions here.

Hi guys,
This is my own blog which i started for informing you about the video games industry in India. the gaming industry in india is at its early ages. It is developing slowly and slowly. the country have second largest population of the world but it stands nowhere in aspect of gaming.Piracy is all where which SUCKS!!!
There is no SONY or MICROSOFT in india selling their consoles. SONY sells its consoles in association with Milestone Interactive based in Mumbai. But MICROSOFT is not there yet. Although, there is an announcement by the company that XBOX 360 will debut in India in the month of October or November, which is a festive season in India. Clearly, there is no NINTENDO in India as well.
In the World Cyber Games 2005, India ranked in the forties. There is no doubt that there are a large number of committed gamers but they need money, tournaments, and support so that they can buy games and participate in tournaments.
The main problem is of money, as this is a comparatively poor country therefore piracy grows, which ultimately supports disengagement of the gaming giants in India.
