In case you missed it, last night N-Gage received another game, the Sims 2: Pets. Basically the N-Gage version of Nintendogs, which is a hit on the Nintendo DS platform, Sims 2: Pets allows you to create your persona, and then adopt the puppy of your choosing, which you play with and teach and nurture. Alot like Tamagotchi’s, only with better graphics.
If you think that sounds like a really lame game – you’re wrong. Seriously, it sounds pretty lame, but in reality, I found it to be rather addicting, for a number of reasons. First, who doesn’t love puppies? Second, there’s a wealth of different activities to do with your new pet, and you get immediate satisfaction – there’s no need to perform the same task over and over again to see the effects. I did not purchase it yet, so I don’t know if you can arrange playdates with other puppies, or better yet, visit a Dog Park in the ether, but even without those, it’s definitely a fun game. Christina’s already informed me that I’ll be buying it for her to play on her N81 8GB.
I also found out today that there will be a new Batman…er…..excuse me, ‘The Dark Knight’ game coming to the N-Gage platform later this year. Now, I have to say publicly that I think not naming these new Batman movies with the word ‘Batman’ in them is as lame as it gets, but as a die-hard Batman fan, I’m willing to look past that.
In any case, over at the N-Gage blog, Ikona has reminded us that Glu Mobile will be putting together a special version of its upcoming The Dark Knight mobile game, complete with N-Gage specific levels and other content. Can’t wait, I’ll be purchasing that one, for sure.
Thus far, what’s your favorite N-Gage game, and what are you looking forward to the most?
