Shouldn't Nokia be making a few 3D games itself untill other people start making apps. Because right now I'm extremely bored when I'm trying to play games on the N900. I mean coulnd't they have hired 1 person just to make games for a while? Its not as if they don't have the hardware to make them work.
2) 1 person making games - hahahahahahaha......hahahahaha oh I'm sorry what were we talking about
3) Open Arena FTW.

And better, even if it's only 2D, ScummVM !
Just try a game like monkey island 1, 2 or 3, full throttle, day of the tentacle, beaneath a steel sky, discworld and many many others (all the point & click from lucas arts, from sierra etc...)
These games are far better than a lot of games I've seen this last decade

@ oscillik: "if you want games so bad, code some yourself" ... Well, we also wanted an N900 so bad, but we couldn't build it by ourselves, could we?

You probably think it requires an army of programmers to make a game. Well, they probably made bounce revolution in 2-3 days.

I also take offense to you calling UQM, bejewelled (well, gweled) and Doom (three games i personally maintain for Maemo 5) "hardly working working other games (which you can hardly call games).." These have been played and enjoyed by millions on other platforms. 3D engine alone does not a good game make.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

Well, they probably had to get an idea, get to know the API, make some graphics and music, do some testing and so on. Probably more than 2 or 3 days. Perhaps the final code could be only 2 or 3 days, but for the whole project takes a lot longer.

But yeah, I agree, it would be nice to get some more games.

And you should read what I write before you post. I'm not asking the community to 3d games, but NOKIA. I know it would take weeks or months for non pro's to make a game. BUT for pro's with access and funding it just doesn't.
And another note, I'm not even asking for a brand new game, for god sake, even "asphalt racer" is something.
