With the MWC and now GDC events under our belt, Ewan Spence draws from all the clues that Nokia has been dropping and comes up with a connected, converged epiphany into the future of gaming. The unification of smartphone functions, social networking and gaming is just around the corner, perhaps. Personally, I can't see any real showstoppers.
"Contextual games."
"Games that use everything in the phone, including, I suspect, the camera, the
GPS, your mapping, multimedia, and even the built in ways to talk to the user
- such as the SMS example from 2005 - could well be the ways where the
N-Gage service can differentiate itself clearly in the mind of games players."
