The VAR Guy’s garage is filled with full-size arcade games like Pac Man and Asteroids. His attic is cluttered with the original Atari, Intellivision, Colecovision and other home gaming classics. But now, he’s turning his attention to an online game from Symantec — yes, Symantec. If you’re an old fan of Doom or hip to Halo, Symantec may have an online game just for you. Here’s the scoop.
The VAR Guy hears the software provider is preparing to launch an online Doom-styled game for IT managers. It’s part of Symantec’s massive Endpoint Protection push, launching shortly. Care to join the action? Check out a teaser for the game here.

This is quite interesting. I wonder when Symantec will be launching this game onto the web. Have they got any plans to also launch even more online games?
Games Dash: Just follow the link in the blog post and you’ll see the online game. The VAR Guy doesn’t believe Symantec will launch any additional games. Remember: This is part of a strategy to generate sales leads rather than a true push into the video game market.
I’ve just gone to the site as you mentioned and can see the game that you can play. It looks good and is a good way of trying to generate sales leads as the gaming industry is big and will only get bigger.
