Nokia-n8-plays-latest-3d-games-titlesOne of the reasons we can’t wait for the Nokia N8 is because of its styling, but it turns out that the Nokia N8 is not just a pretty face. It’s also capable of some pretty serious gaming, thanks to its hardware graphics chip. We’ve seen demos of the Nokia N8 running Need For Speed Shift, Sims 3 and Monopoly – join us after the break to check out the video…

The Nokia N8 is an amazing handset – it’s got arguably the best camera we’ve seen on any smartphone, is capable of high-definition video recording, and also features the latest Symbian ^3 operating system.

The graphics chip required to get the best out of Symbian ^3 also makes the Nokia N8 a capable gamer, however, with the handset running 3D titles with no issues what-so-ever.

The latest games to be spotted running on the Nokia N8 include EA titles Need For Speed Shift, Sims 3 and Monopoly – just like you’ll find on regular computers or games consoles.

Control of the Nokia N8 also looks to be fun, taking advantage of the handset’s built-in accelerometer to let you control the latest 3D games by simply tilting the phone, or even shaking the device in Monopoly by shaking your Nokia N8.
