StarCraft II Beta

StarCraft II beta keys have been sent out.

Be careful, a lot of people got scamed. In order to be sure that you will not share that fate, just follow these simple steps:

- If you received an email saying that you have been invited to StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, do not open any link in that e-mail

- Typing battle.net in your browser will take you to the secure site appropriate for your region

- Enter account Information

- Go to Manage My Games, choose Add or Upgrade a Game

- Enter the Beta Key you received in the e-mail

- Press Add Game

If you were able to add the game to your library, then you received a real beta invite.

If the email tells you to go someplace else for the beta key or the key provided did not work, then you received a phishing email.

StarCraft II Closed Beta Launches This Month

Realy….I’m serious !

On the 10th of this month at a company earnings call, Activision Blizzard president Mike Morhaime announced that the beta for the highly-anticipated RTS game will begin this month.

The close beta will take place in North America, Europe, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand and, of course, South Korea.

Morhaime said the beta would be accessible to thousands of players and will be used to gather feedback for the upcoming game and generate excitement, of course.

The first instalment, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is expected to launch in mid 2010.

Brand new Battle.net

Blizzard kept it’s word and launched the new and improved version of Battle.net .From now on you will only need one account, to manage all your Blizzard games, including World of Warcraft.

Right now you can’t use many of the functions of this new account, for the simple reason that the games that use it are not out yet. The current versions of Diablo, StarCraft and Warcraft will continue to use the old Battle.net .

But there are benefits of using the new Battle.net account you can take advantage of, right now like registering your Blizzard games, and once registered you can download those games for free. There is also an option to register for beta-tests for new Blizzard games. Who knows ? maybe you’ll get invited to test the new Diablo 3 or StarCraft 2.

Call of Duty 5 Nazi Zombie Map Pack

The top 20 selling PC games for february

Here are the top 20 selling PC games for february according to NPD Group:

1. World Of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
2. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe
3. Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II
4. World Of Warcraft: Battle Chest
5. F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
6. Spore
7. World Of Warcraft
8. The Sims 2 Apartment Life
9. Fallout 3
10. World Of Warcraft: Burning Crusade
11. Call Of Duty: World At War
12. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
13. Left 4 Dead
14. The Sims 2 Deluxe
15. Civilization IV
16. The Sims 2 Mansion & Garden Stuff
17. StarCraft Battle Chest
18. Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack
19. Diablo Battle Chest
20. The Sims 2 Pets Exp.

It is nice to see Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II and F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin up in the rankings but it’s surprising for me that more of half the positions are occupied by Blizzard and The Sims 2. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of all blizz games and Sims 2 was a good game FOR IT’S TIME but I would have liked more new titles with bigger sales. Maybe the golden age of PC Games is long gone if Diablo and Starcraft are still selling this good.
NPD’s charts don’t include the sale of games over services such as Steam and Direct2Drive. Maybe the situation would be different if they did.

World Of Warcraft Patch 3.1 enters test phase

The most important patch since the launch of Wrath of the Litch King is almost at the starting line. Some of the announced changes are: tier 8 armor sets, legendary weapons, dual talent specs and the ability of mounts to swim. There will also be a brand new event in two parts: the Argent Tournament with mounted combat and a coliseum battle, bringing with it new rewards and achievements for those hoping to build their Argent Crusade faction.

This post could be the equivalent of “Cocaine, now three times as enjoyable and longer lasting” so we apologize to the reformed addicts.

Blizzard skips this year’s E3

If you planed to play Starcraft 2 or maybe Diablo 3 this year at E3…I have to disappoint you, Blizzard won’t be there, including their proprieties. Probably you can catch them this year at Games Convention or Gamescom in Germany. They probably wont be at E3 because BlizzCon covers the US…so why bother. You can read more on GiantBomb.

World Of Goo Soundrtack available for free

Good news everyone! The World of Goo soundtrack is now available for free!
You can download it on the composers official site.

“This is probably as close to an “official” soundtrack I’ll ever make for the game World of Goo. I’m making it available here on my personal portfolio for free. I wrote much of this music specifically for the game, but many of the tracks were excerpts from music I had written previously for various small projects, or just for fun.”

Kudos to 2d Boy and Kyle Gabler !
