New deal with Californian mobile games bods brings host of new titles to N-Gage.

We’re smacking our lips with the prospect of the all-new N-Gage platform (due to drop anytime soon) and news that Nokia’s inked a deal with Digital Chocolate is fragging our thumbsticks even more.

The ‘dudes’ from California are no shrinking violets when it comes to gaming, racking up a string of awards for their made-for-mobile masterpieces. Now we’re set to get the latest raft on N-Gage including the not-even-finished yet DChoc Café. Curiously named, the series of games sit in a “virtual cafe” ready for users to get stuck in and play a few board or puzzle games or simply hook up with other gamers, virtually. All sounds very PlayStation Home, albeit in a mobile format and with slightly less hi-def graphics. Still, we reckon it’ll be a good ‘un with additional features including the ability to create custom characters, earn prizes and make game recommendations. All good stuff.
