One of the many reasons I have grown extremely fond of my Nokia Asha 311 is that it has reignited my love for mobile gaming.

In fact, you could say that there are 40 reasons, as the chief catalyst for the return of the twitch in my gaming thumb has been the 40 free EA games that come with the device.

Getting the games

It’s not just me either – new owners of all the Asha devices can get the free games: Nokia Asha 202, Nokia Asha 203, Nokia Asha 305, Nokia Asha 306 and the Nokia Asha 311. 

Not forgetting, of course, the two new Asha members that were only announced last week: the Nokia Asha 308 and Nokia Asha 309.

The games, which combined would be worth around €75, are free but you do need to download them from the Nokia Store first, so operator data costs may apply. 

Your Nokia Asha will have an EA Games Gift icon in your applications list. Launching this will take you directly to the EA collection page where you can download the games.

You can download all 40 games and keep them forever, so long as you have enough storage on your phone, and you must do so within 60 days of first opening EA Games gift.

Titles include EA Sports FIFA 2012, Need for Speed Undercover, Monopoly Here and Now and The Sims 3 World Adventures. For a full list of all 40 titles, scroll to the bottom of this Nokia page.

There is bound to be a game that will keep you occupied for hours and hours, no matter which genre of gaming you prefer. 

Here is my personal my pick of the free EA games. I’ve chosen one from each of these categories: puzzle, arcade, driving, action and strategy.

Tetris Revolution 

It has been longer than a decade than I last played Tetris, so downloading and playing this game was a real trip down memory lane. It was also a reminder how incredibly addictive and brilliant the original game was!

In this Revolutions version, the gameplay remains much the same, where different shaped blocks (or tetrominos, if you insist) fall down the screen and you need to rotate and manoeuvre them to form straight lines along the bottom.

However, rather than playing indefinitely, you are set targets (such as forming 40 lines) to get to the next level. The further you progress, the trickier it becomes and you can learn new moves along the way.

Medal of Honor 

You are part of a US Special Forces mission operating deep inside enemy territory during WWII, where you must eliminate their air defences to allow Allied troops to land and provide support.

Gameplay revolves around a series of objectives, such as guarding the supply camp and destroying enemy positions. Along the way, you’re picking up new weapons and learning new tips. 

Medal Of Honor is part shoot ‘em up, part role-playing game and with a script straight out of Hollywood, indeed the original story was developed by none other than Steven Spielberg.

Need for Speed The Run

Need for Speed The Run is a classic arcade style driving game. You can choose to have quick races, or if you prefer to be part of a larger narrative then you can play in ‘The Run’ mode, where you’re trying to outrun the law and a crime family.

By coincidence, there is an epic race across the USA, where you get to race for money, as well as trying to stay out of the clutches of your pursuers. As you win races, you also unlock cooler and faster cars. 

It all sounds rather outlandish, but who cares when you’re such a good time? 

FaceBreaker 

The Marquess of Queensberry probably didn’t have FaceBreaker in mind when he endorsed the rules of boxing. Here, you can brawl, punch members of the opposite sex and aim as low as you like.

To begin you have to choose your character and also which character you would like to fight. From there it is a frantic punch-up to land the all-important knock out blow. I always fought as the dancer Kiriko, just so that I wouldn’t have to punch her.

If you think that boxing is an art, then see what you make of FaceBreaker!

Connect 4 and Battleship 

For this you actually get two classic strategy games in one.

What’s great is that on both games you can choose to play against the phone, or you can play with a friend. On Battleship, in particular, the animation and sound effects are lots of fun.

These are great two examples of classic games reinvented and given a new lease of life on your phone. 

Those are a handful of the free EA games that I’ve been playing on my Nokia Asha 311. Which ones have you been playing?

Marius Masalar has embraced the #SwitchToLumia challenge wholeheartedly, and has spent the last couple of weeks away from his usual device to cozy up to the Nokia Lumia 900.

In Part I of his report on how he found the experience (I love Part I’s, it always means there’s at least a Part II on the way), he discusses how he decided to see if the Lumia 900 could replace his iPhone completely as his ‘daily driver’. He liked the

‘inherently playful’

nature of the design, and the ‘substantial and durable’ feel.

A couple more highlights before I let you read the whole post, including the ‘breath of fresh air’ that are the People tiles (he liked pinning individual contacts to his home screen) and the Messaging tile that was ‘more thorough’ than he’s used to.

Have you made the #switchtolumia? Or was there no need for you to make the switch as you were on board already? How are you finding your Lumia? Share your thoughts in the comments, or drop us a line on Twitter (we’re always listening).

According to a report by comScore, smartphone users across Europe are scanning QR codes more than ever – up 96 per cent in the past two years to 17.4 million users for the three month average period ending July 2012.

The results of the research came from the five leading European markets, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom by using data from the comScore MobilLens service. Data comes from a smartphone audience of 17,390,000.

Smartphone users in Germany scanned the most active QR code scanners, with 18.6 per cent of the smartphone market embracing QR codes – that’s a 128 per cent growth from the year before.

Second is Spain, with 16 per cent, while France, Italy and the UK have all risen to 12.5, 11.9 and 11.4 per cent respectively.

QR codes are used for a variety of reasons, like checking-in to a venue, looking up train time-tables, but it seems that product information was by far the most popular result of a QR code scan. Nearly three in four scans (71.7 per cent) directed the user to a product page across all five of these European markets.

The second most popular QR code was event information (31.8 per cent), making it second most popular result across all five European markets.

According to the research, people like to receive coupons or offers through scanning QR codes. Out of the five, Spain does this the most with 22.2 per cent, while the UK does this the least, with 17 per cent. Overall, though, 19.4 per cent of the five markets use QR codes for special offers.

Here on Conversations by Nokia, we publish QR codes along with some of our app stories to make it as easy as possible for you to download the app. In France, 17.5 per cent of smartphone users use the QR method for downloading apps, while in the UK it’s 11.2 per cent. Across all five markets, though, it’s 13.4 per cent.

We find this research fascinating, as QR codes are such an easy way for people to access information, whether it is product information or an app download. If you’ve never scanned a QR code before, here’s you chance. Scan the QR code to go through to the comScore report.

What do you think this research will say this time next year? Would QR usage have increased further, or declined? Let us know, in the comments below.
