N-Gage + Java

Last night saw a suitably glitzy ceremony for the 2008 Meffy Awards in Cannes, with an array of prizes for mobile entertainment content, services and technology.

Nokia walked off with the games prize for its N-Gage fishing sim Hooked On: Creatures of the Deep. We gave it a Pocket Gamer Gold Award in our review, so the prize is thoroughly deserved.

Meanwhile, Bluetooth gaming controller the Zeemote JS1 (which we got hands-on with earlier this week) picked up two awards last night, in the Technology Innovation category, and the Quality of Experience category.

Congratulations to that, too. Even before it launches, the JS1 has received plenty of awards and critical acclaim, boding well for its likely success when it becomes available to gamers.
