Nokia N96 game Review – Defend London

Name: Defend London
Genre: WWII war/action
Summary: There are tones of new games released for the nokia n96 and even more for some other phones but many of them are crap and many of them are just too simple. Also most of the games released are in .jar file format but they are designed for less powerful phones but when games are made in .sis format they tend to have the ability to produce some detailed games. Defend London is just one of these game that I talk about and the story is all about defending England from oncoming planes, ships, guns and vehicles. You normally control a vehicle with a few guns and you have to defeat all the enemy’s before they can kill you. Really the game is a little boring but the graphics are mad saying that I really mean the background graphics are mad but it makes for a good game.
Overview: If I had to compare this and any n-gage game about half the time I would say this is a better game. A lot of people say that n-gage is lame and I didn’t really share their view until this game. Most n-gage games cost about £4 or £5 but this game is only 3 Euro so you all can enjoy this very nice game for the price. The one thing that you should make sure of is to turn the graphics to full to get the best effect. Read more
Nokia N96 N-gage Review – Sims3

Name: Sims3
Genre: RPG
Summary: There have been a few sims games out for the nokia n96 but I never played any of them so I can’t compare it to any of them so I’ll compare it to other n-gage games. Before I tested this game I read lots of reviews say how boring and lame this game was so naturally I thought its going to be a bad game. When the game first loads you get to customise your characters and then its traits and then its of to its virtual world and you can get on with life. From the reviews this is where I expected the game to be useless but I was wrong the game has all the available options that you could ever want from buying a new house to listening to music. The main complaint everyone had with Sims3 is that it was boring but if you thing its as boring as any sims game but they still appeal to many people and I can’t see why this one won’t.
Overall: The first thing I should tell you is that the game play is a bit slow but the game runs very smoothly and the graphics are fine. The game is surprisingly small at 2MB and and there’s a great trial that’s about 15mins of game play but can be a bit of trouble to download so I have the .sis file in the download. Overall its a good game and will probably entertain you for a good while but you mite get bored of it quite quick. Read more
Nokia N96 Game Review – Happy Lines

Name: Happy Lines
Genre: Arcade/Puzzle
Summary: Games for mobiles are made to entertain you while your alone with your nokia N96, but many games are now designed to be played competitively and that ends up making a game which is over complicated. Happy Lines is a back to basics arcade game with the simple goal of making five-in-a-row, the normal problem with arcade games is that they are repetitive and quite slow but on the upside they generally require more thought. Happy Lines isn’t like that, in Happy Lines you have to connect 5 balls my moving them to the required place but every time you move one 3 more balls appear on the screen, once you have five-in-a-row they disappear and give you more time and once you have filled the time bar you win and go to the next level, but if you don’t create five-in-a-row before the time runs out or you lose. In the end its like connect four with tetris and a clock and I was completely surprised how it was.
Overview: I think this is my favorite arcade game ever, most arcade games I play I tend to put down every few minutes but this proper addictive. I think most games are should be fun, challenging, long lasting, cheap and they should work flawlessly. Happy Lines ticks all of those boxes and with all its little animations and other visual effects this game is a real pleasure to play and only costs $6. The game does have a trial for anyone interested but I should warn you that it is addictive. Read more
