This morning I got my beta access key to the Good Old Games website. I’ve been looking forward to this as the games that they are planning to offer will be low priced PC games that are DRM-free and will run on XP & Vista (as you can see above). The initial catalogue is mostly Interplay and Codemasters games, and I already own most of the games available, but the sweet thing about the beta is that if you buy 1 game, you’ll get 1 free if you signed up for the early beta before Sept 8th (which I did).

Flagship Studios, made up alumni from Blizzard and the Diablo II team, are almost at the point where they want to show the rest of the world their game. Advance beta signups are available at their main account page. There’s no date listed for when the beta comes open but this is one game I’ve been waiting for some time. I can’t wait to get my mitts on this thing! Go on, and sign up today.

No, it’s not what you think. You might remember me posting about the Tabula Rasa beta the other day. Well, it turns out that she managed to score one of the few beta keys that were available. She’s under NDA and not able to say much about the game at the moment, apart from that the intro is very cool and that the beta is under limited testing times each day so she’s yet to try it out. She’s going to try it out today.

I’ll admit it. I’m jealous: my laptop meets all the requirements apart from the processor speed and I REALLY want to try this game. I’m just going to have to sit it out unfortunately until it’s actually launched and it’s available for trial. The few people that have played it so far — mostly journalists — have been pretty amazed by the game.

2Moons, by Acclaim, is now in open beta and accepting new players. Like many other Acclaim online games, basic play is free and open to all with support given by paying for in-game services/items through a cash shop using Acclaim Coins. The game is heavily geared towards a more mature audience than most online games and looks to be a lot of fun for those that go in for PVP in their online games (I’m more of a PVE player myself).
