Out Road
Terrible
Do any of you have any fun imitations to show?

Yes, many of them suck, as with regular videogames.
But as usuall, if you take the time to learn what' s good and what' s not then you' ll get some really fun experiences.
Old classics like Sonic The Hedgehog, Tetris, Arkanoid, Metal Slug etc. are excellent on cell phones.

Maybe its because my Sony Ericsson T630 is ancient now and sucks for playing games. Anyway I have my DS for mobile gaming.

I don' t understand how anyone could stand playing games on a vertically oriented cell phone screen unless it was Galaga or Pac Man or the like.

Ask the guys who bought the N-gage, they seemed to love it.
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

True, my N93 though has a screen that can tilt horizontally but the games are still gay, DS so much better....Ofcourse

Lots of games support tilting the screen.

Jesus christ, that game looks like a right old rip off. Even the title is similar.

Apparently they sold 1 Million a while back and Nokia thought it was time to Celebrate. No joke.

I think selling a million pieces of crap is something to really celebrate.
