Nokia signs Play Us TV deal for N-Gage

We're not quite sure what it means, though

Nokia signs Play Us TV deal for N-Gage
|

Nokia has announced a partnership with Swedish media company Bringiton, involving the latter's TV show Play Us.

Not heard of it? Neither had we. But it's apparently been sold to nine countries, and involves a team of female Counter-Strike players travelling the world displaying their first-person-shooter skills.

Yeah, really.

What does all this have to do with N-Gage, though? It's not really made clear in the press release, other than talk from Bringiton of "the unique opportunity to blend gaming with television to provide the ultimate form of entertainment".

That could just mean Nokia advertising N-Gage within the show in some way, of course, but I'm wondering if there could be an N-Gage-focused show on the way at some point.
