NgageThe New York Times reports this week that Nokia will give the ol' N-Gage, its failed mobile phone/game machine hybrid brand, another try this year.

This week, Nokia, based in Espoo, Finland, will revive N-Gage as a multiplayer gaming service that will work on its popular line of smartphones. The service will offer games from major publishers like Electronic Arts, as well as smaller developers like Digital Chocolate that focus on the mobile gaming market.
