Nokia announced a new game at GDC called HinterWars: The Aterian Invasion, notable for being a title on both PC and their mobile N-Gage platform that supports cross-platform play between the two. The game, available as a download from its website, casts the players as one of four races fending off the Aterians. Developed with Symbian by Activate Interactive out of Singapore, HinterWars is intended to promote the N-Gage platform in Asia. "The sheer fact that tens of thousands of players can play at the same time," said Rick Gawdat, head of Nokia's Asia-Pacific games division, "is indicative of a truly compelling game that will be a hit amongst gamers across the Asia-Pacific region.” Though players of the PC version can play along with those on the N-Gage decks, Nokia has added additional features, such as faster experience gain and special equipment, to the N-Gage version to entice players to buy the gaming-focused handset.
