We're well used to hearing about Infinite Interactive and Irrational Games / 2K Australia picking up awards left, right, and centre for their latest games, but it's great to hear that Firemint have picked up on from the International Mobile Gaming Awards 2007's "People's Choice Award" for World Rally Championship 3D. Firemint has received critical acclaim in the past for their titles such as The Fast & the Furious: Fugitive 3D and Madden NFL '08 3D, so I'm sure they've pretty chuffed with yet another greatly received title...
