This looks REALLY suspicious and I would advise that nobody registers or downloads the
Firstly the parent company as listed at http://www.awomo.com/?q=node/10 appears to have an address which is The Queen's residence, Windsor Castle
Secondly, the company GDI Game Domain International plc doesn't appear to exist - try finding a stock ticker. To be a PLC in the UK you must be a public limited company with shares traded on the London Stock Exchange.
Dodgy! Unless this can be cleared up and proof of the company's details validated I would steer clear of this.
New Game Download Site Offers Play-As-You-Download Service 104
arcticstoat writes to tell us that despite the many game download sites already available, another one has decided to give it a go; only this time, with a twist. UK-based Game Domain International is launching their AWOMO service that will allow you to play the game before it's done downloading. As an added incentive to get people to sign up, you can try out the beta now and get Rome: Total War for free. "The trick, according to GDI, is its 'unique technology' that 'lets you start playing before the game has finished downloading, meaning you can be up and running, jumping and fragging in minutes rather than hours.' Although some other download services allow you to start playing a game before it's fully downloaded, you usually still have to download a big chunk of data before you can start, and GDI reckons that it's cracked this problem. According to GDI, AWOMO takes a look at your PC's spec and connection speed, and then hooks you up with a sufficient buffer to stop your game stalling during gameplay. The company is confident that 'the delivery system accurately predicts the data you require next and ensures it's already there waiting before you need it.'"
