all i wanna do is...


Ready for massively-multiplayer shooters? Apparently, public betas (probably with the usual rounds of key-grabbing off various sites) for MAG and The Agency are due soon!

An anonymous source, who attended the recent Sony event at Seattle, has told us that betas for both MAG and The Agency are due out 'soon' - as in 'E3 soon'.

Both Zipper Interactive and SOE, the Seattle based developers of the respective games, were at the event answering press questions and demoing their games. MAG is due out sometime in Fall 2009, exclusively for the PS3, while The Agency will not see shelves until 2010, for both the PC and PS3. (shame)

Sony confirms 'inFamous' UK release date

Sony has confirmed the UK release date for its open-world action game inFamous, according to MCV.

The game will now be launched as a PS3-exclusive on May 29, despite the fact that it was initially scheduled for a June release.

Developed by Sucker Punch, the sandbox action title involves players taking the role of bike messenger Cole McGrath, who acquires electricity-based superpowers after an explosion in the fictional Empire City.

It was also recently announced that a playable demo for the game will be launched on the PlayStation Network on May 21.

  1. Good news about the betas but if only it were easy to take part. Easy like, an email from SCEE saying something like, "here you go reakt since you're a regular PSN user and you buy a fair bit of content from the store, have a beta key on us."

    The reality is going to visit a page during the day and constantly trying to register for a key, knowing that I'm competing against an army of kids; trying again and again until the site falls over (eurogamer I'm looking at you).

    Will definitely look out for the keys anyhow (give me a heads up if your source gives you any insider knowledge on the keys!)

  2. i'm really not sure about MAG, they keep mentioning SOCOM in the same sentance and i kinda don't dig that game at all. The Agency on the other hand i can see as being alright so long as they don't try and rip us too much on the monthly subs, i mean $5 a month for FreeRealms is some indication i guess.

    if the new and inproved SCEE has any soul they'll send us the codes for being loyal to them through the rough early years and sticking with them *crosses fingers*

  3. The SOCOM beta is one of the few betas that I've taken part in. It was a pretty horrible experience with huge delays when joining an online game (not that it was even worth the wait when the game finally loaded!).
