Best Games on Nokia N8

Finally I got time to post about the gaming experience on Nokia Flagship N8. A very first announced Symbian^3 device that just brought a wide range of hottest and popular games within a month or two right after the launch. The games which have already been attracting huge number of users on other platforms including Android and iOS are now coming to Symbain^3 platform. Symbian^3 OS really showed its strength to the developers with the better hardware support underneath.

Nokia N8 having support of better hardware with 680 MHz ARM 11 processor with dedicated processor for 2D/3D graphics acceleration along with support for OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenGL ES 1.1 and OpenVG 1.1, really called the developers to develop for it. We saw superb HD games right after the launch of Nokia N8 from which a few I am going to list down below. More importantly some of these games were came as an update to Nokia N8 absolutely free of cost.

Fruit Ninja

Halfbrick released Fruit Ninja for Symbian^3 devices a bit lately but I appreciate that they didn’t left a well capable platform knowing that there is really a user base on Symbian after Symbian^3 it’s been even more. Fruit Ninja is also one of the popular games on Android and iOS which I, personally, felt lacking on Nokia N8 but got really very grateful after this release.

There are 3 different modes of play with different targets to keep in mind. There are locked blades and backgrounds which you unlock on achieving hidden targets.

It also has been getting popularity on Symbian^3 version. There are, however, some limitations on Symbian version like multi-touch support, which we hope, would be added later. Until then take a look at the following game shots and try your self.
