One of the great things about the Nokia N8 is the dedicated graphics card. It means that games can be a lot more advanced when it comes to graphics. We've rounded up the best Nokia N8 games currently available – join us after the cut to find out more...
With a dedicated graphics chip, the Nokia N8 is capable of a lot more than other mobile phones when it comes to graphics. This can be seen from the host of cutting-edge games that have popped up on the Ovi Store, and we've been spending some time playing them.
Angry Birds Lite
Angry Birds has been around for some time on the Nokia N900, as well as other platforms such as the Apple iPhone. It's now made an appearance on Symbian ^3, and it's truly addictive. Control is through the touchscreen, where you can pull back your angry bird and catapult him in whatever direction you require. Brilliant! We just hope there are more levels soon.

Need For Speed Shift Symbian
Need For Speed is one of the new generation of games to appear for the Nokia N8, and graphically it's better than anything we've seen to date. Cars are incredibly well rendered, and the horizon approaches smoothly and without dropped frames. You steer the car by tilting the Nokia N8, tapping the display to slow down, and it works really well.

Galaxy on Fire
Flying a spaceship at thousands of miles an hour, going round planets and chasing enemy craft, Galaxy on Fire is an enthralling game, helped by the immersive control method. Just don't play it in public, or you'll look a bit strange – tilting, concentrating and spinning round like a loony!

Bioshock Lite
Granted, Bioshock is also available on other versions of Symbian, but it's worth including here as it's an incredibly game, and difficult to believe that it's made the transition from PC to mobile phone. You play a survivor of a plane crash – Jack – and you have to help him escape an underwater utopia gone wrong. Compelling, addictive and utterly excellent.
