Games for N93?

Hello everybody. I just got a N93 a couple of days ago after I gave in my N73. Loving it so far. I was wondering if there are any games that make good use of the capabilities of the N93? The more advance kinda games (You know what I mean) ? I'd love to see some good games for the N93 which make the fullest use of the phone's processing and graphics capabilities.

Thanks!
 
For when they bring the new N-Gage platform in first quarter 2007, and it seems both N95 and N93 will be able to take advantage of these advanced games.
 
here is the article:http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/item/Nokias_Next_Generation_gaming_platform_the_future_of_N-Gage.php

especially important is this part:
"If these 3D chips are intended for use with the Next Gen platform, then we can make an intelligent guess about two of the phone models that might support the Next Gen: the Nokia N93 and the Nokia N95. Supporting this theory is the fact that the N93 comes pre-loaded with a demo of one of the next generation games, a sci-fi racer called System Rush Evolution which clearly makes good use of the 3D chip (the demo can be installed on other S60 3rd Edition phones without 3D chips but it runs unplayably slowly on them).

Interestingly, the N93 and N95 also contain TV Out sockets which can be used to play games (or surf the web, or any other function of the phone) on television sets, with the phone itself acting as the joypad and games system rolled into one. Perhaps this might become another standard feature of the Next Gen platform? In the past this wasn't really an option because phones had such low screen resolutions, but the latest models are good enough to display on a TV and getting better all the time."

Also supporting this is the fact that the N93 was used as demo device showcasing the future games, including the very impressive looking ONE fighting game at E3, seen here:
 
I don't want to rain on your parade(s), but you can forget about playing any games except snakes and SRE. That's because the N93 does not allow simultanious buttonpresses. That is, it does if you first press a number button then a joystick button, not the other way around. Nor does it allow pressing two joystickbuttons at the same time (e.g. move and fire), or two numberbuttons at the same time =(

I'm totally frustrated by this. There ARE nice games, most notably SkyForce, and the NES, SNES and GB emulators by Vampent. There's also a (slow) GBA emulator, there's a Sega-emu and a MAME one. Also ColecoVision. And there's C2Doom. All of them look great (also on TV!!), but none of them are playable, because of this bug.

One: Who's Next looks absolutely spectecular. It CAN be rendered by the N93, but it CAN'T be played!!

I can only hope this is a firmware bug. They way this bug works leeds me to believe it is. I have tried contacting Nokia in numerous ways about this, but I haven't had a satisfactory answer. I ask everyone who cares about this to PLEASE try and contact Nokia too, so they might get the message and fix this with the new firmware release. It would also help if Symbian-related websites would pick up on this problem.
 
Ofcourse, as it is a demo right now, but nothing hardwware wise is stopping the N93 from playing it.
rendering alone almost always shows that system or device is capable of playing a game. Sometimes the framerate might be slower,,,but able almost 95%.
 
Well, probably by the time N95 comes out i'd be so hyped about the release I might just give myself in to get a N95 so thats the end of life for me But i'd love to keep my N93

Too bad about the dual button press bug. You reckon it could be fixed any time soon?
