Gameloft’s Asphalt 7 Featured On Samsung Galaxy S III
No further details were given, but we do know for sure that the sequel to Gamelofts popular Asphalt 6: Adrenaline will be Asphalt 7 and it will run on the Android 4.0 Galaxy S III. Looking at the screenshots given it appears that Gameloft has taken a lot of the good feedback of what worked in Asphalt 6 and brought it to Asphalt 7. I have played Asphalt 6 on iOS and have to say it is the best racing game I have played on iOS. Gameloft also has a sequel coming out for N.O.V.A. 2 (another one of Gamelofts blockbuster titles) called N.O.V.A. 3. No word on release dates and pricing, but Gameloft is probably gearing up to show us more soon.

CM9 better known as CyanogenMod Ice Cream Sandwich, is an after market build of android. CM7 (Gingerbread) was ported to the HP Touchpad not too long ago.
