Available For Download

System Rush: Evolution (DEMO) is the 2nd part or sequel to Nokia's original N-Gage game, you guessed it 'System Rush'. Your role in the game is that of a hacker who's hell bent on shutting down the networks responsible for the planet wide information 'Lock Down'.

The Demo of System Rush Evolution comes with 2 hackable levels. The levels are full 3D rendered and you have the joy of controlling your vehicle around the 3D worlds on your travels you'll find power ups such as 'Bit Stream' left behind by the keeper that you can use to catch up to the keeper and destroy him by slipstreaming behind him to siphon all his energy. The game is designed to be played with '1 thumb', you'll need quick reflexes to avoid incoming danger or to align yourself with the Keeper's Bit Stream to gain more speed.

This file includes several language packages.

The game is released on the Nokia n93 page but works with other series 60 3rd edition handsets. It has not been tested on all 3rd edition handsets, give it a go, the worse that can happen is it wont work!

Nokia 5500 Sport - Music edition

Mon, 9 Oct 2006 17:39:13 +0100

Yes Nokia have done it again, released a music 'sport' edition of one of their handsets, despite the nokia 5500 being a fairly new series 60 handset.

Other than a bundled 512mb microSD that I assume is for some music ;) , a new carrying strap, and a different colour to give it the 'Sporty' look the phone is identical to its predecessor.

I quite like the phone, it's small, robust, sport and best of all it's a series 60!
