community gaming features via the N-Gage Arena come as standard.
    In addition to showcasing the first set of next generation mobile games
on a range of Nokia devices, the Nokia N-Gage booth will feature previously
announced games such as Mile High Pinball, Habbo Islands and Shadow-Born.
The new games line-up includes:
    Creatures of the Deep
    Creatures of the Deep takes you on a fishing adventure like no other.
Travel through some of the world's most exotic angler destinations, cast
your line and catch boatloads of fish, sea creatures, and underwater items
to store in your virtual live-well. The single player career mode will
challenge you with dozens of quests as you freely roam the expansive
fantasy and real-world fishing destinations. Sense the subtle bites on your
lure with vibration feedback. Also, E3 visitors are invited to take part in
the "Catch the N-Gage Fish" contest for the chance to win a 6-night/4-day
fishing package for two at the Crocodile Bay Resort in Costa Rica.
    ONE - Who's Next?
    In 2004, ONE set the standard for graphics performance in mobile games.
Developed by Digital Legends Entertainment, ONE now brings the global
fighting community and Nokia Nseries multimedia computers together. The
sequel shown at E3 2006 features more advanced graphics, including
real-time reflections, light glow and game play at 30 frames per second.
Controls and playability are also pushing the boundaries, including
adaptable controls and all new scenarios, some designed for landscape mode
gaming. The graphics are best appreciated live at the Nokia N-Gage stand,
booth #900 in the South Hall.
    Pocket Aces: Texas Hold'em
    Nokia ups the ante with a mobile version of this Sin City staple -
Pocket Aces: Texas Hold'em. This poker game in your pocket lets you wager,
raise the stakes and bluff your way to the top, or hit rock bottom -
against friends and strangers alike. Single player and multiplayer Pocket
Aces offers online tournaments, online head-to-head match ups, and
rankings. Winnings in Pocket Aces have real value; players create their own
gambler identity and use their winnings to customize their fully 3D avatar.
In addition, the avatar learns the user's poker strategies, and eventually
becomes capable of playing on it's own!
    Pro Series Golf
    Do you have what it takes to compete on Pinehurst No. 2? Want to tee up
alongside the historic views at the links of Doonbeg? Play Pro Series Golf,
the most expansive multiplayer-mobile professional golf game ever, where
you can challenge your friends or golfers around the world via the N-Gage
Arena. Play as one of six professional golfers including Sergio Garcia, KJ
Choi, Retief Goosen, Annika Sorenstam, Colin Montgomerie and Casey
Wittenberg, and drive your way to victory.
    Space Impact
    This addictive Nokia arcade franchise flies to the next generation. You
can customize your fighter with various weapons and battle more than 30
unique enemies, including explosive ballistic cannons and deadly energy
leeches, while navigating across 10 action-packed levels. Dodge enemy
projectiles to increase your power meter, or unleash devastating combo
attacks. Win the missions to earn money and buy upgrades between battles.
More than 30 different ship parts can be used to trick out your Skyblade.
Collect extra upgrades by completing missions, or acquire exclusive
power-ups from the N-Gage Arena.
    System Rush: Evolution
    Chase, shoot and fly your way to freedom in Nokia's most distinctive
futuristic interactive 3D racing game sequel. System Rush: Evolution - the
latest and most visually stunning racing game to appear on a mobile device
takes place in an authoritarian planet-wide "lock down", where players are
pitted against new network defenses and hacker bosses. The player possesses
a new form of experimental technology to shatter the 10 newly installed
network "firewalls" and prove to the corrupt governments that the flow of
information will never be halted. Our hero is 'hardwired' into the system,
effectively becoming a part of the network.
