Just noticed Nokia’s Yamake (”you make the game”) for their N-Gage platform, and that’s somewhat like GameMaker, which is kind of a cool idea actually, but so was the concept for the Phantom, but the question still remains, will it float? My vote’s on the no, and not only because the predecessor was the definition of fail but because their doing it Gizmondo style this time. Double fail makes it not fail?

“N-Gage 2: now with xbox live but not quite!”

Isn’t that a little too blatant a rip-off of xbox live? When I saw this I actually felt somewhat embarassed myself for Nokias Game/Phone Frankenstein.

I really try to stay somewhat open-minded about the games industry but it’s just too easy to bash the N-Gage (it’s “not good” and looks like a taco) and this was one opportunity I didn’t want to miss! Oh well, I really do hope they fare better with this next version of the phone.
