Hot on the heals of today's launch of Amazon.com's casual game download service, console game publisher Altus has announced plans to launch a similar PC game portal called Atlus Online. While not officially launched yet the service's official web site is now taking sign-ups to test the portal out.

Atlus Online claims their service will stand out from the crowd because of its community and its managers. who "will listen and interact with you on a level that has not been seen before."
