New MMORTS Picaroon enters beta testing

If you are an MMORTS fan, Nice Technology has a new one for you to check out: Picaroon.

Picaroon is a free-to-play, futuristic pirate-themed game, and the team's quirky sense of humor -- as evidenced in the developer blog -- should carry over nicely into gameplay. Picaroon is set to launch this winter, but if you'd like to check it out now and help shake the bugs out, you can visit the blog for beta keys.

The developers will be releasing more groups of beta keys all week, so if you miss out on one batch, keep your eyes open. Once you get one, follow the instructions on the blog to get into the game, and have fun!
