An introduction to the n-gage platform

Thanks to an alliance with major mobile operators and games producers (Capcom, Electronic Arts, Vivendi Gamer Mobile, Thq wireless, Glu Mobile, i-play, Gameloft, Indiagames, Digital Chocolate) the platform will foster the development and distribution of games specifically designed for mobile devices. The Dirk Spanner title, a detective adventure, will for instance use typical features of mobile phones such as maps and cameras to examinate objects.
