megami tensei online IMAGINE

 I've known about this game since its release in Japan.... It was a commercial failure from what I hear.

Apparently they licensed it and released it in the states. I got an email telling me that I'm invited to the closed beta (I think about a million other people got the same email). Since I'm somewhat crazy about all things megaten I decided to take the jump and participate. 

The game has rather modest system requirements. I run it in a window while I'm doing web browsing/writing/chatting etc and there's not even a hiccup, so that's a plus in this age of over specced computer games (and they wonder why people are moving to consoles?). Very stylish,with occult+cyberpunk influence like the good old SMT universe. though it's in beta stages so the character selections are limited at the moment. They seem to have an interesting story going on, leading Shin Megami Tensei 1's storyline to SMT2. I'll try to figure out what's going on as I play on.

I don't know how long I'll be able to play this with my schedule being what it is. I guess I'll enjoy it while it lasts. If there's anyone who wanted to take the plunge to the megaten-verse yet couldn't because of the console barrier, here's your chance. You can find the keys to the beta floating all around the net. If you can't find one for some reason, leave a message and I'll try to send an invite.
