  • Nokia Announces Virtual Pet Title For N-Gage, Creebies [12.15.07]
  • NokiaNokia has announced Creebies, a new virtual pet title to be available through the N-Gage mobile games service in early 2008. The title gives each player their own 3D "Creebi" to care for, entertain, feed and even breed.

    Supplied with a trailer and some virtual cash, players will be able to customize their Creebi and home with various accessories. The 3D pet can take on its own personality and appearance based on the attention it receives, and can grow and become more independent, and players must keep an eye on its individual health meters, which will let them know when it is hungry or feeling ill.

    Creebies can also interact via Bluetooth technology - for instance, they can play games together or breed. Players can show off their newborns to others or send them to new homes through the Adoption Center in the N-Gage Arena.

    "Nokia Games Publishing has brought a quirky game to N-Gage that appeal to all ages," said Dr Mark Ollila, Director of Technology and Strategy and Head of Games Publishing, Nokia. "With Creebies anyone can have the pleasure of owning a pet without the trouble of cleaning up the mess."
