Need for Speed World beta invitations are live
We’ve just mailed all of our registered users a Need For Speed World beta key. Which is good news. We thought we’d open up a new post on the front-page for you to talk about your experiences in-game, and arrange PC Gamer meet-ups. Begin. Speaking. Now.
Beta access: Big Match Striker
If you sign up to our site, or if you’re already a member, Supermassive games will give you access to the Big Match Striker beta.” But what’s Big Match Striker,” you’re muttering to your cat? It’s a free to play multiplayer football manager game where every tackle and penalty can be resolved with a quick-fire trivia question drawing on your knowledge of English football’s top four tiers – a constantly updated database of thousands of soccer questions. If you’re the sort of person who knows what the half time score during the world cup final of 1962 was, I’m definitely not playing against you any time soon.
Join us for a free Need for Speed World beta key
We’ve got 5,000 beta keys to give away for EA’s new driving MMO: Need for Speed World. All you have to do to get one is become a member of our community – it’s free, open to all, and only takes a sec. You can then post on our forums, comment on articles, and if you’re one of the first 5,000, you’ll get access to the Need for Speed World beta. It runs from June 28 to June 30, so make sure you sign up by Monday. If you’re already a member of our community, you will of course get one too – but read on for an important requirement.
Update: The beta has now ended.
Pre-order Elemental, play the beta now
Tom once wrote a book about Galactic Civilizations, Stardock’s brilliant turn based space-bunny bothering strategy game. So, you can kind of understand if we’ve got a softspot for them. Stardock now have a beta ongoing for their next game – the fantasy empire building and strategy of Elemental: War of Magic. You can play the game right now if you pre-order. There’s a movie to show you what you’re getting below the break.
