OMG OMG OMG OMG

I just loaded up steam for the first time in a few days and I noticed I had something in my inventory so I go check and low and behold I find an invite to nothing other than the CS:GO beta. So as you may have guessed by the title I am very quite excited about this. I don't know why I got a key I don't think I signed up for it at any point, but none the less I am not going to sit here and complain about it. So long story short I have CS:GO beta  and I am very very happy about it to say the least.

Tribes: Ascend Open Beta Starts Friday

Tribes: Ascend is an upcoming free to play multiplayer first person shooter which is being developed by Hi-Rez Studios. For the past few months it has been in a closed beta. However this coming Friday the game will be done with it's closed beta and becoming open to the public. So anyone interested in the game who have not been lucky enough to get a key of the beta will now be able to play. Along with it becoming available to the public, the game will be adding new game mode "Arena Deathmatch" as well as a number of new maps.

CS:GO Beta Expands

Just a swift little update. It would appear that the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive beta is set to expand. Those looking to get in on some new Counter-Strike action may be in luck according to a tweet from the CS:GO developer twitter about an hour ago.

Hawken Beta Signup

Hawken is a new Mech Combat FPS. It caught my eye with a gameplay trailer a few months back. It looked pretty cool and after that trailer I never really heard of it again until now. The game is currently in closed beta which you can sign up for here. 



The gameplay looks pretty awesome from what the trailer has shown. I can see some pretty epic gun battles happening in this game. I'm going to be constantly checking my emails over the coming days. Hope I get in the beta soon.

Guild Wars 2 Beta

Guild Wars 2 has been in it's first closed beta since mid December for a lucky select few. According to a quote from Arena Nets blog.

"We recently finished our first closed beta test, and we’re now ready to hold progressively larger events. In February we’ll invite select press to participate in beta testing, and in March and April we’ll aggressively ramp up the size of our beta test events so that many of you will have a chance to participate. And of course, this all leads to the release of Guild Wars 2 later this year."

I see this as them saying we will be getting a shot at their latest title in beta form in the next few months. As selected press are getting in on the beta as of next month I will be on the look out for beta keys giveaways from gaming new sites along with following Guild Wars news extremely closely in hope to be one of the first on board what I am assuming will be a public beta . Anyway I can't wait for this game to be released and it looks like it's on the home stretch.
