Tetris comes to N-Gage

It goes live alongside World Series of Poker: Pro Challenge

Tetris comes to N-Gage

Imagine our surprise when we were exploring the First Access N-Gage application yesterday, only to find a couple of new games have been made available.

One we've heard about before. World Series of Poker Pro Challenge is a conversion of Glu's existing Java mobile game, and puts you head-to-head with a bunch of poker stars, including Chris Ferguson, Johnny Chan and Shannon Elizabeth.

For N-Gage, there's an online rankings feature, enabling you to compare your huge (or otherwise) wad of winnings to other players.

But the second new title to be added to First Access this week hasn't been announced before. It's a little-known puzzler called Tetris, from EA Mobile.

Yep, even Tetris has been souped up for N-Gage, although the extra features appear to be just online rankings (but with a game as addictive as Tetris, that's a pretty powerful addition).

Anyway, both games are available now from within the First Access application, which has so far launched for the N81 and N81 8GB handsets.
