N-Gage.com: When you first joined the Medal Games tournament, how did you like your chances of winning?:
Zergus: I found the announcement in the E-mail newsletter. To be honest, I wasn't even sure about my chances. I didn't know how to play pinball, I knew I will have no luck in Reset Generation and I suck at trivias! So here's a special space (__ <- space) to mention the name of a person that helped me with strategies. He prepared me and I won! :)  One funny thing, almost everyone said that I was going to win. It was really helpful too  ;)  thank ya'll!

 

It looks like you ran away with the point totals. Was the competition ever close? Which players gave you trouble?:
Skywish in Mile High Pinball and Brainimpactrush in Pro Series Golf. Those duels were really tough!

 

What was your best event?  Your weakest?
My best event? I won the second week's Pro Series Golf event which in some ways was special. It was a bit lucky, but it still counts. And the one Claes named me PWNINATOR after first round. It was Mile High Pinball and I won the whole single event.The worst one? All the Reset Generation ones! I couldn't do anything really, maybe that's because I don't like this game :P

 

You were around for the original N-Gage days. What do you think of the next generation of N-Gage now?
It's a bit different than the old one. Different games, different devices, the same community. Looks like the best parts doesn't change :)  How would I rate next generation? Not better than old one so far, but doing really good!

 

What are your favorite next gen N-Gage games?:
Those aren't relased yet  ;)  but if I had to choose from the released games, I would choose these. System Rush: Evolution, it's the first next gen n-gage game that impressed me. Tetris, because it's simple and addictive, and Space Impact: Kappa Base. Just because I like it xD

 

What is one thing you'd do to improve or change the current N-Gage experience?!:
There is more than one thing. Can I write top 3? please please please please (4 hours later) please please!

First is to give out games relase dates. And it's not only mine opinion, most of arena players would like to see some relase dates! Second is also about games. Relasing one or two games a month is not enough. Players needs more games!

Guess what? Third is about games too! N-Gage needs more multiplayer games, more action games, and more games that will take more time to finish. Some games are too short.  To sum up, it's all perfect except of the games.

 

What games would you like to see on N-Gage?:
StarCraft. And RIFTS. And Ashen. GTA game and Unreal  Tournament. Yeah, those are my favorites!

 

Heh, I'll see what I can do. Thanks Zergus, and again congratulations!
