In terms of interface, support and design however, Metaboli is superbly executed and well put together. The system offers detailed system requirements, which is a great advantage. The reader reviews are universally useless and Metaboli would do well to mimic Steam by showing a Metacritic score for the game instead, but the vast majority of titles will already be familiar to most players so it isn't an immediate problem. It should also be pointed out that the forums were somewhat sparsely populated.

When you get right down to the core of it, Metaboli is an incredibly well designed system that comes the closest to rivalling Steam or Gametap to date. Whether it can continue to rise in the ranks and impress gamers remains to be seen as it's still early days for it, but there's no reason we can see why Metaboli won't be the next big thing. Especially when a glance over the Term and Conditions reveals that it's possible to organise a ?1 trial period.
