PS3 Version Of Final Fantasy XIII Includes Some Extra Goodies

If you haven't heard yet, a little game called Final Fantasy XIII came out today. It avaliabe for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 platforms, but the according to Sony, the PS3 title has something extra for its players.
If you go online to register the game with the Square Enix Members program, you'll be given a special item for use in Final Fantasy XIV. On top of that, you'll also get registered for the Final Fantasy XIV beta access which should start sometime later this year.
Since I only just started playing Final Fantasy XIII, I'm having a hard time trying to even think about a Final Fantasy game so soon. However, its still some pretty cool free stuff!
If you have FFXIII for the PS3, don't forget to register!

TeamTwie: Blur Beta Keys To Be Given Away Soon

I'm going to be giving away some beta keys for Bizarre Creations newest game, Blur. I'm not sure how I want to do this yet, becuase I don't know how many I'll have until tomorrow.
Stay tuned and I'll give them out sometime tomorrow.
(I only have Xbox 360 beta keys)

Halo Reach Multiplayer Beta Trailer

Bungie just released a trailer for the Halo Reach multiplayer beta, which is coming out May 3.

I gotta say, even though I'm not a Halo fan in any way, that trailer looks very cool! There's no doubt in my mind that Bungie will make this, their last Halo game, one to remember.
If you're interested in getting into the beta, you have to own Halo 3: ODST, which includes a beta code. I'm sure you can find a copy for a little under retail price considering its been out for a while now.
I'll be sure to keep you guys posted on any new Halo Reach info.

New Battle.net / Starcraft 2 Beta coming... "Soon"

While we're all waiting for the Summer of 2007 to come around so that we can all get our StarCraft 2 Beta on, Blizzard has kindly given us some new info on whats to come with the brand new Battle.net service. The new and imporved Battle.net service will be a brand new experience for all Starcraft 2 users to experience..."Soon". It will offer things like cross-game chat, the Real ID service, updated matchmaking and the StarCraft II user mod marketplace.

With all of this hype about the new Battle.net Experience people are beginning to suspect that the Starcraft 2 Beta might also launch within a matter of time. I for one can't wait to get my hands on Starcraft 2 again after playing a bit of it at last years Blizzcon. To strengthen the Starcraft 2 Beta rumor, Blizzard has posted a video with Greg Canessa, project director for Battle.net where we see a quick glimpse of a Starcraft 2 Beta screen!

Once the beta does hit, be on the look out for many "Beta Exclusive" posts coming your way, by your friends from TeamTwie.
