So you like to play games but just don't feel the need to start up a separate application on your PC. Well you use a web browser, right? According to a new San Fransisco-based company called GameLayers, you can play a MMO genre game while surfing the net at the same time.

That game is called PMOG.com and you can start playing with your Firefox web browser (Internet Explorer is not supported, oddly enough) and a Firefox extension that serves as the PMOG client. The more you surf the web with the client the more point you collect that you can use for game items. You can set traps or rewards for other players of the game in other web sites. The game itself has a kind of Steampunk theme to it which at least makes it different than the typical fantasy style titles. PMOG has been in closed beta for a number of weeks but today it has officially launched. Our big question; how does GameLayers plan to gain revenue from this model?
