- Critics’ Choice: Comparing N-Gage Review ScoresYesterday
-
If you’re familiar with Gamerankings.com, you’ll know that is a Website that averages all the scores for a particular game from many different reviews, giving you a consensus of game reviews. Unfortunately that site doesn’t cover much in the way of mobile games, particularly N-Gage.Enter the PocketGamer.biz N-Gage Quality Index. This new article on Pocket Gamer has handily assembled a critic’s consensus for all released N-Gage games, giving you a chance to see what all the reviewers thought of the N-Gage games at a glance.
Taking top spot is Reset Generation, which always seems to review very well, with Creatures of the Deep and Metal Gear Solid Mobile coming in neck and neck in a tie for a second place right behind it. Twenty other games are also scored on the same chart.
The author also averaged *all* of the star ratings from the N-Gage players who rated the game on their device, in what surely must have been a painstaking and exhausting task. Quite interesting results there too: ONE and Creatures of the Deep were tied for being the most popular N-Gage games of 2008, according to the star ratings.

- AAN Review of Crash BandicootJanuary 7
-
The first review that I’ve seen of the recently released Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D for the N-Gage platform has been posted over at All About N-Gage. This time the reviewer is Tzer2, who takes the game out for a spin. Here’s a snippet discussing the graphics:“The courses are graphically rather spectacular for a phone game, and contain the massive jumps familiar from many cartoon racers. There are some very nice touches such as sea monsters that try to eat you while jumping, and the level scenery generates a nice coherent atmosphere.”
So what did you think of Crash? Remember, you can download a free trial that lets you play the tutorial and one quick race directly from the games tab within the N-Gage application, or else from our website’s game page.
