First look: Cafe Solitaire and Cafe Sudoku on N-Gage
Digital Chocolate's connected games head for Nokia's games service
We've known that Digital Chocolate is bringing its range of Cafe games to N-Gage for a while, but now Nokia has released screenshots and info of the first two titles that'll be released on its games platform.
They are Cafe Solitaire and Cafe Sudoku. The former offers 12 variants of solitaire, including Klondike, Freecell and Caesar. Meanwhile, the latter offers infinite sudoku puzzles to play.
Both feature DChoc's Cafe connectivity, allowing you to create your own isometric cafe and avatar, then invite friends and win points from playing the games to unlock new clothes.
However, the publisher hasn't revealed how (if at all) the two games will integrate with Nokia's N-Gage Arena community. For example, will there be extra point pick-ups to boost your N-Gage rating?
Also, it has to be said that the screenshots hint that the games haven't changed very much from their existing Java versions. It'd be nice to think there are some new features for the N-Gage editions – more clothing perhaps, or the chance to actually decorate your cafe.
We'll have to wait and see.
