I still think that title makes it sound like a special place for people with behaviour problems. Anyway, the browser-based casual MMO, SocioTown, has begun its open beta. I’d probably have gone in there and done a first impressions post if the server wasn’t down, but maybe it’ll come back up this afternoon…

Early Bus To SocioTown
By John Walker on November 20th, 2007.
New social MMO SocioTown is due to go into beta testing in the next month. You can sign up for the browser-based Shockwave beta here.
Clearly reminiscent of the more terrifying Second Life and There, it’s Facebook out of control, borrowing ideas of social networking to lure in the wider audience. Although with the name, it really should be a town of murderers and psychopaths. And who knows – perhaps it will be. Check out in-game footage below.
