Cell: The Corporate War has been released by Warpunk Studio, and is now for sale through The Game Crafter.

I’d previously mentioned that the thing that excited me the most about this title was the method of distribution.  Now I have to say that the transmedia elements are the most interest to me.

The Neuronet acts as an online news source for the game world, and there seems to be several pieces of fiction already written around the universe. There’s also a desktop wallpaper and two Firefox themes available.  The game even has a theme song.

All this and more can be accessed at Warpunk’s Cell page.

Take a peek at the rules, if all of this interests you.
