Games

Civilisation (Atari)
Sid Meir's classic epic. Take a tribe of people from prehistoric times to the edge of space as you guide them though millions of years of evolution, constantly battling for supremacy of the planet.

Drive3r (Atari)
3D action driving game, continuing the driving/adventure franchise onto the mobile Game Deck.

FIFA 2005 (EA)
Given that FIFA 2004 is one of the strongest titles on the N-Gage, an update could be simply the new teams, or wholesale changes. We'll find out next year.

King of Fighters (Hudson Soft)
The first 'beat em up' on the N-Gage, and what a franchiseto exploit! The fighting engine on the Neo Geo Pocket version would work wonderfully on the N-Gage, so let's hope for a solid conversion. Three on three tag team? Thank you very much!

Glimmerati (Nokia)
Glam Racing Game, and another Nokia in-house title. Prepare for 5 laps of Birmingham's inner ring road as Slade take on The Sweet. Or something. 3-d action promised for Q1 2005.

Rifts (Nokia)
Kevin Siembieda's acclaimed pencil and paper RPG is brought to electronic life in conjunction with a powerful 3d graphics engine. Nokia have been chasing games house, but to pull off this is a good indication that they'll happily chase new areas for the N-Gage.

SSX: Out of Bounds (EA)
Strap a plank of wood to your feet and race dow nine original tracks in EA's winter wonderland for daredevils.

Xanadu Next (Falcom)
Another new publisher for the N-Gage platform, and another celebrated RPG. For all those people who were saying last month 'where's the RPG's,' they'll be asking, which should I get? Hopefully Gaming headlines review team will help with that nearer the launch dates. ES
