N-Gage Report of the Week: Beating Back Boredom

S60 Ambassadors - November 25th, 2008 - Written by Daniel Shugrue

Clintonjeff shows us how N-gage Reset Generation can be used to pass a dull moment:

You’ve ever had one of those moments when you and your friends are hanging out together and are just genuinely bored ?

Well it happened to me a couple days ago. A group of 4 friends were over at my place, 2 of them had N-gage compatible handsets, the other 2 had other phones, but had their laptops with them.

I randomly suggested “Hey so you guys heard of this game called ‘Reset Generation’ on N-gage ?” . My friends have grown used to me talking about N-gage every now and then. I’ve been a supporter of the platform ever since I got my N-gage classic back in 2004. They also know that I’m an S60 Ambassador. On a quest to save the world from the horror that is Windows Mobile. At least I try :P . So they’re also pretty used to being updated on S60 news thanks to yours truly, from time to time.

“Reset what ?” they answered back. Time to show off N-gage ! I whipped out my N96 and showed them a little bit of the game. They thought it looked fun in a sort of crazy way. I asked my friends with the N-gage compatible handsets to use my WiFi to download the trial to their phones so maybe we could have some multiplayer action. Not to be left out, I guided my other 2 friends to the free pc online version of Reset Generation so they could join in on the fun. A couple minutes to register N-gage usernames and we were taking turns at playing each other. Rescuing princesses, dropping blocks, they were hooked on Reset Generation. 4 people having a go at once. One of my friends was a huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan, so he chose the Hedgehog as his character. Another pal, was a huge Tomb raider fan, so decided to go with the Babe Gunner Character. For me ? The monster hunter character’s way cooler than the rest.

We played around for about an hour before taking a break. They really got hooked onto the game. We’ve even played a couple rounds since that day.

I do believe I got my friends N-gage’d on Reset Generation. More people to join in on the multiplayer fun!

Thanks Clintonjeff!  Your Star Wars gamepack will soon be on the way, courtesy of Mr. Mike Macias.  Keep up the good WoMing!
