Phantom Floats Digital Distribution Site
by Nick Breckon, Dec 16, 2008 4:47pm PSTPhantom Entertainment--formerly known as Infinium Labs, the infamous company responsible for the vaporous Phantom console--has announced the launch of Phantom Games, an online digital distribution hub.
The new service will allow consumers to purchase from a catalog that spans "over 2,600 PC games," including new releases such as "Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2," according to the company. The site is currently down for maintenance.
Phantom first announced the service in 2006, following several years of derision over the oft-hyped, but never produced Phantom game console.
In the interim, Phantom stayed busy by producing the Phantom Lapboard, a combination mouse/keyboard/tray that allows users to "work or play games from your couch, easy chair or any comfortable setting in your home or workplace."
Along with the launch of Phantom Games, the company also noted that it has secured enough cash to begin mass-producing the Lapboard.

I was able to download several demos and they all went fine. I use avast! antivirus, no problems with the downloader app being detected as a virus. I also did a full purchase on one of the cheapy games (3.99 Grimm title), and that went perfectly fine as well

I downloaded a Ghosts n’ Goblins demo and had no difficulties; I’m running ZoneAlarm. Anybody tried running a bigger game like Gears of War yet?

I wish this company would just sell off the design to a reliable company and then fold it's doors.
