Talk about a slow news day. Other than gamesindustry.biz reporting on Sony's denial of Playstation 3 overheating issues at TGS and some industry discussions about the future of gaming and market shifts, not much is happening around the world of gaming.

Gameloft hits the Asphalt one more time

Gameloft, a leading developer and publisher of mobile phone video games, announced the launch of the third installment of its Asphalt series. Asphalt 3: Street Rules takes players into the heart of the underground racing world first the first time on mobile phones. The game offers a choice of nine cars and three motorcycles, all licensed from brand name manufacturers like Lamborghini and Aston Martin, and takes players to all four corners of the globe. With the first two games in the series, Asphalt: Urban GT and Asphalt: Urban GT 2, having surpassed a combined 3 million downloads worldwide, Asphalt 3: Street Rules has the potential to be a very popular choice for mobile gamers. The game is already available through 160 telecom operators and 150 partners in 70 countries around the world and direct from Gameloft. For more information on the Asphalt series and to find out what phones the games are compatible with go to www.gameloft.com.

That's all we've got for today, but since we always like to leave you with at least some good stuff to look at, we're ending today's New Pop! with a video. Back at the end of 2005, while there was still a lot of speculation going around as to all the details surrounding Nintendo's new console, now the Wii, a video was released by a fan showing their depiction of the new console. Keep in mind that the video is completely fake, but it's still very cool to see what this person was able to come up with. The video is six minutes, twenty-one seconds. Enjoy!
