Hey you! GamesRadar UK reader. Are you doing anything interesting this weekend? No? How would you like a free Beta Key for the Final Fantasy XIV limited-access beta on PS3? You can spend the next few weekends knocking the crap of out of the vast city states of Limsa Lominsa, Ul’dah and Gridania.
OK, now pay attention because this next bit is very, very important. Are you based in the US? This is NOT for you.
There are two steps you need to take in order to start playing the Beta on your PS3.
1) You need to grab your Square Enix Beta Key from here, then register on the Square Enix site. There are instructions on this link about how to register your Square Enix Beta Key.
Done that? Good.
2) Now--and this is important--you need a different code to actually download Final Fantasy XIV from PSN. You can grab that second code here. You must register on the Square website before you download Final Fantasy XIV on your PS3, or it won't work. Once you've downloaded the FFXIV beta, and started it up in your XMB, you'll need to enter your Square Enix account details to play.
3) These keys will ONLY WORK IN THE UK. If you are based in the US, these keys will not work--please do not download them. They are useless to you.
Good hunting. We've got 3,500 codes for you, and they're strictly first-come, first-served. Please note that this Final Fantasy XIV Beta will only work from Friday to Sunday for the next four weekends.
Please note--GamesRadar is only a distributor of these Beta Keys. We cannot answer technical questions about the game or Beta. If you have a problem, here is a link to the Square Enix support website.
Angry Birds Trilogy is coming to Wii U this August--great news if you're one of the seven people in the world yet to experience Rovio's ubiquitous puzzle game. The Trilogy includes Angry Birds, AB Seasons and AB Rio; and this Wii U version will come with exclusive new levels.
Rovio confirmed the game's release via a YouTube video, which you can watch below. The Wii U version will have Gamepad and TV swap capabilities, touch screen controls, and online leaderboards. Pretty much what you'd expect.
You'll be able to pick up Angry Birds Trilogy for Wii U on 13 August in the US, and 16 August in the UK. No details on price yet, but the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions sell for $30 / £25. That's quite a hefty price-tag for what is--essentially--a trio of $0.99 / 79p mobile games.
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified fuses third-person shooting with turn-based strategy. The XCOM name implies tactical excellence, and this newest trailer from developer 2K Marin shows how the game's "Battle Focus" mode keeps the fight moving and commands flowing.
Players can slow the action to a snail's pace to direct squadmates, but unlike The Bureau's bird's-eye cousin, the battle never stops completely. If you want to keep your AI-controlled buddies from the jaws of permanent death, you'll have to stay aware and active at all times.
The Bureau will release on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on August 20 in North America and August 23 internationally. Check out our most recent preview for more info.
Watch Dog's cyberpunk fiction of a near future Chicago isn't all that fictional, Ubisoft shows in a captivating promotional site for the game. Don't worry, it's not an assortment of moody trailers or obtuse ARG puzzles--in fact WeareData is our reality, right now.
The site collates data from a variety of publicly available sources, from public bike stations to train schedules to geotagged Instagram posts. Displayed atop a 3D wireframe of London, Paris, or Berlin, the data provides a living representation of the cities.
Is the information shocking, a chilling picture of surveillance states gone wrong? Eh, it's more like Google Maps with a couple extra layers and a moody soundtrack. Still, consider our interest thematically piqued for playing around with Chicago's city operating system.
Watch Dogs is set to release on November 19 for PC, PS3, Wii U, and Xbox 360, and at launch for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
