Download Speeds and Gaming with Awomo

I am currently trying out a new service from Awomo which claims to be the world's fastest game download service. They are giving away a free download of Tomb Raider: Legend while they are in Beta (isn't everybody?) so thought I would give it a try.

Meanwhile I have just tested my download speed at Speedtest and found that my 10mb Virgin Media cable service is running at 2.7mb. Not overly impressive then.

Anyway, the nifty thing about this Awomo service is that users can start playing their chosen game while the rest downloads so I'm gonna give it a try now.

So it didn't quite work as hoped. My Samsung 26" TV claimed to not like the 'mode' and just went black. This must be a video card thing?

I'll get back to this later on. Jobs first, play second.
