Like a sickly thin socialite slipping unnoticed to the ladies for a quick sniff, Nokia has quietly moved its enigmatic
Project White Rock into alpha.
The game, which we
previously reported on as promising to break new ground with its N-Gage-to-PC connectivity, is expected to launch sometime early in the new year.
We've yet to get our hands on the title, but a memo leaked from the testing lead points to some highly addictive stuff. "Testers who have been with the game since the start have insisted on staying with the game for as long as possible," wrote the test project manager.
If true, the fact testers are enjoying the game to this extent bodes well for
Project White Rock, as the endlessly repetitive nature of their job would drink anyone dry of enthusiasm.
The multiplayer focus of
Project White Rock has likely lead it to being such a hit with testers. Exactly how the game functions across both N-Gage-supported handsets and PCs is unclear, but we're looking forward to drafting a preview of our impressions in the near future.

lol, too true, never really noticed the link their before, I must be very innocent.
I hope it's true but it all sounds a little PR-ey if you know what I mean and without solid details this just comes off as hot air really.
Don't get me wrong, my hopes are high (perhaps unrealistically so) but what I really want is to see a good deal more of the actual games. No console in history, be it an actual console, gaming platform or whatever is worth a damn without at least one tripple A title to call it's own. The sooner that arrives after a gaming platform's launch the better.
As far as I am concerned I have seen too little to make my mind up if Project White Rock will be the breakout title the new N-Gage platform needs.
I hope it lives up to these testimonials because at the moment it is the only product associated with the new N-Gage platform that has raised even a modicum of hype.
