Hit Machine Takes on Beatles Rock Band

OMGPOP, a leading online social multiplayer gaming site, announces Hit Machine (http://www.omgpop.com/games/hit-machine), a new multiplayer music game. In the tradition of playing along with your favorite tracks, Hit Machine brings the console music gaming concept online, multiplayer, and free. With the ability to play live against six other people competing at multiple difficulties, it makes music gaming truly a social experience accessible from any computer anytime.

We have licensed over 50 songs from some of the coolest and most visionary bands and labels for this game, stated Dan Porter, CEO for OMGPOP. We have really focused on a wide variety of musical genres that appeal to the incredibly diverse tastes of today'ss youth. With tracks ranging from Indie to Electronic to Rock, the game is designed not just to rest on old classics but to allow people to explore tons of new music as well.

While OMGPOP might be the underdog in the music game space and is releasing the game in the shadow of a multi million dollar Beatles advertising blitz, it does bring its unique skills in engaging multiplayer gaming and its millions of members, which should help the game build and spread awareness. The game is available at http://www.omgpop.com as well as numerous game sites. OMGPOP currently generates over a million gameplays daily on its own site.

The music game (http://www.omgpop.com/games/hit-machine) is free to play, however the company is also in discussion with multiple artists to add downloadable paid tracks.
