As has probably been fairly obvious, I’m completely enamoured with Heroes of Newerth and have been in the closed beta for awhile. As a result of this, beta testers are occasionally given extra keys to invite other players into the game – and I’ve come across an extra key that ONE OF YOU JUST MIGHT GET! Read below the cut for more.
So I’ve spent the last week or so pretty heavily engrossed with Timegate’s new futurewar runey-jumpey-shootey game, Section 8 – and it’s great. It has all of the elements of a FPS game that I’ve been hunting for awhile now: jet-packs, loud, badass-feeling guns, and a selection of loadouts with which to kit your generic robotic-like futurewar soldier avatar to make him a bit closer to your ideal. In other words, I’ve been looking for the next version of Tribes 2 – and in this, Section 8 does not disappoint. Click through for my overly-lengthly thoughts on the open beta.
