So it looks like the Resistance 2 beta is now live. Unfortunately, I’m not in and thus cannot join in the 60 player multiplayer activities. Despite not even trying the multiplayer, I’m still interested with how the game will play. I want to know how they’re organizing such a large amount of players.

Fortunately, there will be multiple ways of entering the beta which include:

• Purchasing an issue of this month’s Qore from the PlayStation Network store
• Pre-ordering the game
• Applying for beta key via the R2 site in the coming months

I’m going to pre-order the game. Maybe.

I’ve been wanting to try this PlayStation Home thing since its announcement way back when Phil Harrison was top cat at Sony Worldwide Studios. While the service has been delayed numerous times, my level of interest with it has not waned.

I’m interested. I want to try it out. If I don’t like, that’s fine.

Well, it looks like my opportunity to apply is coming up! All I have to do is download the “Home” theme off the PSN Store tonight. The theme (which is free, of course) should appear around the usual PSN Store update time, which is around 6 - 7 PM EST.

If you decided to pick up the less than stellar Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 for the Xbox 360, you were granted access to the Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo: HD Remix beta. I hear it comes with one stage, two characters (Ryu, Ken) and online play. Yay? I guess that depends on how much you’re loving the new look and how much spare change you have.

For the rest of us, we’ll settle for a handful of screenshots.

Metal Gear Online is not Call of Duty. It’s not like Gears of War. Or is it like Warhawk. Metal Gear Online is its own thing and the sooner you can accept the game’s rules and mechanics the better. I made the mistake of believing this game was Call of Duty 4 in the third person and how wrong I was. MGO has its share of quirks and unorthodox conventions, but after putting in approximately 7+ hours into it: MGO is growing on me.

What is this? Spam?! No, just some stuff you may like to sign up for.

1. First up, GTAIV fans should register to the “Rockstar Social Club“. Cool kids are there.
2. Next, the Quake Live beta test which will allow you to test out id Software’s web based Quake 3 re-release.
3. Finally, check out the Mythos website to sign up for the upcoming beta.

Meanwhile, I’m still trying to create my Konami and Game ID’s for the Metal Gear Online Premiere Beta.
