MMORTS "Brainstorm" launches closed beta

Hello all! 

I just found an innovative game called "Brainstorm" that might be good downtime play :) It's a browser-based MMORTS (picture Civilization, but you get to play against and ally with REAL people) that uses real-world trivia as your source to build and protect. It's "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" with city-building instead of super-sleuthing. 

They just went into closed beta this week, but it's only closed because there's a 2500-player cap. The game cycle will last 30 days while the players scramble to form alliances and construct the first/best Oracle, a paragon of collected knowledge. 

It's insanely addictive (think Risk meets Jeopardy) and just loads of fun. You can sign up at http://www.genia.com and you'll automatically be able to play.

I was able to do an interview with the CEO of the company, so here's more information if anyone's interested! (Or if you want to give me ideas for new articles, that's great too ;) ! ) This just went live in the last 5 minutes. :3 I have another recent interview on that  site with the studio head for the Warhammer 40K mmo--that one seems to be popular, lol!

 

Interview with Genia Games' CEO Martin Ouellet

 

"Last week I was invited to interview the incomparable Martin Ouellet, founder and CEO of Genia Games, for the closed beta launch of Genia's new social RTS Brain Storm. Ouellet’s company is unknown for now, but he’s no stranger to starting from scratch. He built his first startup, Taleo, through daring strategy, eventually leading the industry in cloud computing and human resource management software. After Oracle’s monumental acquisition of Taleo, Ouellet and a portion of his team formed Genia Games, plunging into unfamiliar territory armed only with a willingness to learn and a visionary concept that would become Brain Storm.

In the unspecified future, humanity has found an alternative to fossil fuels: Genium, an unknown mineral fed by knowledge and capable of producing infinite energy. The world's realistic response is to erupt in conflict and greed--the player's goal is to build their city, make alliances, steal knowledge from their enemies, and win the game by creating the ultimate knowledge repository. With a team wholly new to game development and a concept out of this world, Brain Storm promises intelligent entertainment and innovative edification. Check after the jump for the full interview."
