Maelstrom fattens Metaboli

GOD service line-up bulges.

Metaboli has bolstered its games on demand service today by adding Maelstrom to its impressive catalogue of downloadable PC titles.

The latest addition joins other recent recent releases including Rogue Trooper, Raving Rabbids, and the Dawn of War Anthology.

It follows a successful year for Metaboli, which beefed up its 2007 offerings recently thanks to an exclusive deal with THQ to bring the publisher's latest and greatest online.

Word has it that blockbusters S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Supreme Commander will also be added to the service in the future, as well as more imminent additions such as Just Cause, TrackMania Sunrise Extreme, and Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened.

All you have to do to play is choose whether you want all the latest releases, which will cost you GBP 12.95 a month, or if you can make do with a slightly cut-down library for GBP 6.95 each month.

Once you've joined, you'll be able to play until your heart's content, finally delving into a fully-patched game you may not have had the PC to tackle when it was released.

As for those of you that subscribe from Eurogamer, well, your favourite is currently Rise of Nations, followed closely by Company of Heroes. However, at number three is the slightly shocking entry of 7 Sins, Monte Cristo's adult-based simulation that gamers were too frightened to buy in the shops.
