Nokia announce three new N-Gage titles

Nokia yesterday announced three new titles for their N-Gage game deck: High Seize, Mile High Pinball and Payload.

With inspiration from 'Treasure Island' by Robert Louis Stevenson, High Seize is set in the Caribbean in the 17th century. Developed by RedLynx, creators of the highly successful Pathway to Glory, the game is a strategy title which is combined with an "epic fantasy storyline". High Seize is exclusive to the N-Gage.

Also an N-Gage exlusive, Mile High Pinball is aunique take on the pinball genre. "Mile High Pinball takes pinball to new heights", said Pasi Pölönen, Director, Games Publishing, Nokia. "With gaming sessions ranging from few minutes to a half an hour, Mile High Pinball is perfect for anyone looking for fun, high-quality gaming on the move. We believe this game will appeal to a very large audience.".

Payload, the first N-Gage title to be developed by Tantalus Interactive, is a futuristic action game that "combines unique mix of strategy, combat and traditional racing". Set in the distant future, players are members of courier teams hired to transport the precious crystalline mineral fuel source. As the players make their way to their goal, they will encounter gangs of marauders, and rival teams, attempting to steal their payload. Only successful runs will earn the cash and kudos required to progress through to the more challenging levels. Remove the future element from the mix and the concept sounds just like the Smuggler's Run titles on Sony's PlayStation 2.
