The UK edition of PC Gamer has responded to their first look at AWOMO very positively. Deputy Editor Tim Edwards came along to the Leipzig unveiling and was shown, along with scores of other journalists and industry types, just what AWOMO could do. Even though it was the first build of the system and only at an early stage, they came away impressed.

“Our socks were blown clean off at Leipzig’s Game Convention when we had AWOMO demonstrated to us… The combination of the social networking of Bebo with a sort of instantaneous Steam-style delivery system is precisely the sort of mad science we love to find out about.”

Pick up the latest issue to read more… available at all good magazine outlets and no doubt some rubbish ones too.

The first period of testing is going really well. So well in fact that we have decided to add a whole bunch of new trainers into the system. In the coming days around 500 more of those who have registered will be added. We’re also adding a couple of new games that you’d want to know about. The first of these is the fantastic Flat Out 2 so make sure you are registered and tell your friends. Those of you who have already registered, stay patient. As you can see, we’re expanding the training to cover more people and more games so we will need you. This is going to take time but we know it’s going to be worth it and we thank you for playing your part

Good news! Beta Testing has begun this week! The first testers are already at work with the first four free games! The bad news is that we have started amongst only a very small group of testers, so the chances are you have not yet been contacted. Don’t worry though, there will still be a chance for you to be a tester as we roll the testing out to a bigger audience.
