The Next Gen N-Gage platform is due to go live some time in November, so we still have a fair while to wait until our gaming main course arrives. However, to whet our appetites, All About N-Gage has been serving up some Next Gen hors d'oeuvres, looking at the best S60 games that are compatible with Next Gen N-Gage phones and are available right now.

So far we've covered Snakes, K-Rally, Frozen Bubble and Return To Mysterious Island, and there should be a new hors d'oeuvre every day or so for the next few weeks.

We might even throw in the odd app or two, if it's fun enough... :-)

In case you missed it, the Next Gen N-Gage compatible models announced so far are the N73, N81, N81 8GB, N93, N93i, N95 (both Euro and American) and N95 8GB, with more models due to be added as time goes by.
