Diaspora launches

British company Altitude have launched their web-based space trading game, Diaspora. The game has been in open beta for several months now, and over 8000 players have taken part in the game during that time, including me. Even back in December the game was highly addictive, and since then a number of new features have been added including improved support for player guilds and 600 missions to carry out when you get bored of blowing up pirates and shuffling cargo backwards and forwards.

The game weighs in at just 9Mb, and is absolutely free! So, apart from your social life, what have you got to lose? Head over to the Diaspora website to download the latest version of the game, or read the press release to find out more...
