God of War Ascension set to release March 12, 2013 will have a beta on the Playstation 3.

Free 2 Play: End of Nations

End of Nations is an upcoming Free 2 Play massive multiplayer online real time strategy (mmorpg) game developed by Petroglyph that is going into its final closed beta session today October 4th.

Free-To-Play: Hawken

Hawken is an upcoming free-to-play first person shooter that is scheduled to be released at the end of the year on December 12. The game will have a multiplayer component that will have you controlling a mech soldier and battling it out with other players on either Team Deathmatch or Free for All mode.

The game was available to play during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2012 at the Twitch booth. I was given a short opportunity to play the game when it was on the show floor and have to say it was a really enjoyable experience. I wish I could have played for a longer period of time than I did, but there were many games I wanted to try it out.

StarCraft 2 Fans, Time is Running Out

The StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm Beta Sweepstakes hosted by Twitch is coming to a close on the 24th of September at 8 o'clock.  A very easy process to go through to enter the contest for a chance to play the game before its release. Also it is only one entry per person for the sweepstakes. During the beta the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) regulations will be lifted which will allow you to stream the game, upload content to YouTube, and share pictures with your friends.

The sweepstakes gives you the chance to be awarded one of the one thousand beta codes available to the public. Other codes will be given to StarCraft pro players and other known figures of the StarCraft community. On the plus side for those gamers who have never played StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty the beta will still be available to them to play. If you happen to own the previous game it might help out your chances at winning.

For those that don’t know, StarCraft 2 is part of the real-time strategy genre that is played on a PC running windows, but the game is also compatible with computers running the Mac Operating System. Heart of the Swarm is an expansion pack adding to the storyline and the multiplayer, and the second installment of the three part StarCraft 2 story progression. It should be noted that the beta will only offer participants the multiplayer aspect of the upcoming expansion pack which also does not have an official date as to when the completed version will be released.
