Let’s talk a bit about cell phone games and see which won at Nokia Games Summit awards ceremony. We’ll tell you only about the highest prize winner, which received no less than 40,000 EUR from Nokia, to help in the further development of the game.



There were 3 winners: Ghostwire from A Different Game from Sweden that won the big prize, Melokey from Jadestone and C4M that won 20,000 EUR, and Watchers by Eclipse Interactive winning 10,000 EUR.
Watchers is a conspiracy adventure game using Nokia Maps in which you have to find clues and solve mysteries. Melokey is a musical game with social networking elements, with which you learn to play songs against opponents and win the admiration of fans.

Coming back to Ghostwire, from what we checked, this is a cool and very entertaining game that teaches you about becoming a ghost hunter not limited to the game. Actually, you need to move your cell phone around your place and thanks to an “advanced technology” enabled by the application, you’ll be able to see the ghosts hiding in your room, on the handset’s display.
We recommend you to use a cell phone with a large screen to see the ghosts clearer, as they don’t look like real people and it’s hard to find the contours of their transparent shape.

A Different Game is a young team of game developers formed by Martin Forsling, Tom Söderlund, Torfinn Offernes and Anders Bergman, who wanted to create an adventure game that provides you with special tools that help you communicate with the world of the dead.
In order to detect and visualize ghosts on the display, you need to scan the surroundings. After interacting with ghosts you will have to solve their problems, and if you encounter difficulties you can go online and meet the other ghost hunters who can give you some useful advices based on their previous experience.

We can’t wait to try this game!
