Swedish Game Site Power Challenge Raises $8M in VC: Power Challenge makes Java-powered, browser-based sports games, so far football (USians: soccer) and hockey, not surprising considering their location, and in both single and multi-player variations. Sadly and strangely, Windows-only so far, so I can't give you my two cents, though OS X and Linux are "coming soon."

That's a fun game. Their management sims aren't so hot - they have some nice ideas, but the sim engine seems to be essentially random. Hattrick's engine is perhaps not random enough, but Managerzone is way too unpredictable on both the football and the hockey side. That 3d football was good though.

Windows-only Java? *mind boggles*
