Further details of of Project White Rock, the much anticipated N-Gage game, have started to leak out ahead of tonight's event.

Darn Rafe, you always post these ahead of me! I was just adding this story! 😊
Yeah, keep following AAS/AAN, we'll post the latest as soon as we hear about it. Nokia is holding a big event all about Reset Generation tonight, and I'm sure they'll be putting out lots of press material soon...
Incidentally, for the benefit of any N-Gage nerds out there, Pocket Kingdom's website featured a character called Reset Jen, and Scott Foe (who created Reset Generation) also worked on Pocket Kingdom.
Again incidentally, it seems Scott Foe revealed the name to us a long time ago in his song lyrics for the soundtrack:
Oh, and there we were all in one place,
Blasting invaders from space.
With no quarter left to play again.
So break out; beast be altered; axe be gold;
We’ve lost the joystick and control.
A Reset Generation …
The capitalisation is a bit of a giveaway, but no one picked up on it at the time.
