The year is 2146. Global warming has long since made ice and snow only a distant memory, something seen in the history books but not really understood. That all changed with the discovery of the Warp Gate, that opened up the galaxy to exploration. And everywhere we went, there was snow. And where there was snow, there was Project Powder to shred it.

Project Powder, developed by free casual MMO portal Outspark, isn't the first extreme sports MMO we've seen, but it's the coolest. Combat? Duel against other players on the slopes! Crafting? Make snowballs! Exploration? There's a whole world out there ready to be explored -- and shredded. Okay, maybe it's not the deepest MMO out there, but if you just want to get together with your friends, form a team, level up and compete against the top 'boarders in the galaxy, Project Powder may be just the game for you. Closed beta begins June 24th, and you can sign up on the Project Powder home page. Get to level 5 in closed beta, and you get a special hoodie that you can wear in open beta that shows just how cool the open beta newbies will never be.

Hello yes it is a great MMO I am a closed beta tester. This game rocks!!!!! I would highly sugest that snowboarding game fans keep an eye out for it's release. I won't go into details of the game since it still has'nt been released. When it is released it will be a free to play game. I will reply the best I can without releaseing details about the game.

As far as we're aware, there is no NDA covering Project Powder, so you should feel free to say what you like about it. We here are also in the Project Powder closed beta test, and it truly is an amazing game. Unfortunately, now that we have played it for awhile, we're not sure whether or not it really counts as an MMO -- lobby-based racing games with no persistent world don't really match our definition of MMO.

That said, we're having a whole bunch of fun with it. MMO or not, it's a very cool game. The fact that you only rent the gear you buy with the money you earn racing, and don't get to keep it past a week or a month, kind of gives us pause.
