Atomanic is a great new puzzle game from BitRabbit. If you're looking for another Match Three/Falling Blocks style game, don't bother. Atomanic asks you to move atoms around an increasingly difficult playing field to build a specifc molecule. We'll have a review in the next few days.
Nokia's N-Gage Arena Launcher has been updated to version 2.5.

New features include Public Group Chat, Friend Rankings, Login Message and Filtered Content.
NesGame caught my eye, not because it's another NES emulator for Series 60, but because of the limitations it has for it's "demo before purchase" part of the shareware cycle.

Nokia has created some 'computer gaming deckchairs'. "The hi tech deckchairs come equipped with N-Gage games phones on extendable arms, a mini parasol to avoid sun glare and drinks coolers allowing gamers to get their quick fix of gaming while away sunning themselves on the beach.

And now the reason Nokia are showing up at GenCon 2005 is clear. Warhammer 40000: Glory in Death is coming to the N-Gage.
