Video game technology has made amazing leaps since its arcade beginnings. It seems like before long gaming systems will support an infinite number of bits. And while this allows for lightning fast frame rates, movie-quality soundtracks, and graphics so realistic they threaten the uncanny valley, sometimes it's nice to return to a simpler time. Even though I'm practically wetting myself in anticipation of the LittleBigPlanet full game release later this month, I still have my NES, and I'll admit I still love all that 8-bit goodness. Reset Generation invites gamers to "return to the playground of our youth," and I am RSVP'ing "hell yeah!"

Spoofing off several popular gaming icons such as Mario and Sonic, this title mixes in action elements and puzzle mechanics to deliver one funny-as-heck gaming experience. And best of all, it's free."
Since this is a first-party Nokia title, you're unlikely to find this unique game on any other console or phone. The humor alone is great, but Reset Generation also has a complex, challenging multiplayer mode. It's easily worth playing for hours on the Web for free, but if you have a Nokia phone, Reset Generation is also a must-buy for the road.
