Got my beta key for FireFall and installed today… While this game is only in beta, it looks like it may help satisfy my scifi gaming fix. There's a bunch of competition in this area with Dust 514, Planetside 2, and Defiance, but variety is the spice of life. More to come on this title
I Would Participate in the Beta
Goldenstar over at A Casual Stroll to Mordor asks the question “Would You Join the Beta?” in her weekly poll, and I emphatically answered – YES! I've had great experiences in betas and on playtest servers in the past (StarFleet Command, Eve Online, Battlefield 3, Star Trek Online, The Secret World, WoW:MoP, and many others),
Gaming by the Hour – week ending 6/24/2012
It was a slow week, with 3 hours spent ingame among 3 different games. The first hour went to a new game on my list – Ghost Recon Online. I had not even heard that this was in development before getting an email Thursday announcing a beta key giveaway. Having played and enjoyed many of
Gaming by the Hour – week ending 6/17/2012

The Secret World Beta – Weekend 2
I was fortunate enough to gain access to the second weekend beta for The Secret World. My character from week one was still around so I headed back to Kingsmouth. This trip, instead of messing around with the zombies (which I found were part of a repeatable quest), I headed straight to the sheriffs
Gaming by the hour – week ending 5/20/2012
During the course of a typical workday day, I am pulled in so many directions that it is sometimes hard to remember which project I spent my time on, so I started tracking what I did on an hourly basis. Because I like to play multiple games over the course of a week, I carried
