Alright well here's the experiment of the afternoon. We've all seen at least a little bit about Majestic being published by EA. Pay $10 a month for threatening faxes! as a few people have said. EA has made the "pilot chapter" of the game free online (Thanks Jack & Blues) for everyone to play. Thing is you gotta sign up (free) for EA.com. Here's a description of what's going on from an earlier news item:

It's played in real time. If a character in MAJESTIC says they'll get back to you tomorrow, they will literally call you tomorrow. This pace of gameplay is very different from most games, which operate at an accelerated pace. What's so powerful about this concept is that once we've established that the game can connect with you through devices such as instant messaging or the phone, anytime an IM window pops up or the phone rings it could be from the game. This adds to and builds the sense of anticipation that the user feels, which for MAJESTIC has become a key creative element.

Someone wanna play this thing and tell us if it's a turd? I'm probably gonna give it a shot this evening.
