After the short life that the N-Gage enjoyed as the mutated offspring of a cell phone and a Tiger Electronic hand-held system, it has officially become reborn. Owners of Nokia phones N81, N81 8GB, N82, N95 can pre-load the software for this Monday’s official launch. The N-Gage software will act as a Steam or Xbox Live service for all the games that the network has to offer. Hopefully, we’ll be seeing games like Pocket Kingdom: Own The World come back to the service and make cellular gaming less of a joke then it currently is. At least it doesn’t cost $59.99 for the service.
