    We've been hearing about Land of Chaos Online since this year's GDC, and the upcoming free-to-play game piqued our interest for its unusual presentation. The combination of traditional fantasy elements, third person shooter design, and a cast of 30+ pre-defined characters rather than customizable avatars lent a very different feel to the game. If it interests you as much as it did us, we have a chance for you to explore the game yourself. Land of Chaos Online developer Burda:ic has provided us with 1,000 closed beta keys to give away to our readers. Since that group includes you, head over to our giveaway site for your key. Then visit the LOCO site to activate it, and you are all set for beta! It's very important to note that while you can activate your key immediately, closed beta does not begin until May 27th. So activate your key, and be patient -- closed beta will be here before you know it!

    If you ever wanted the chance to create your own society and then rule over it with an iron fist, then you may want to check out Danish developer Working As Intended's first title, Dawntide.Dawntide is taking a more experimental approach to their MMO by attempting to capture all of the Bartle gamer types in one swing -- the explorer, socializer, killer, and achiever. To that end the game is offering meaningful combat, a player driven economy, territorial ownership, item "invention" mechanics, and options for players to create their own societies. Their goal in having players create societies is a hope that this type of play will offer options for everyone -- the socializer to create traction for their government, the explorer to find suitable areas of land, the achiever to push forwards with new ideas and items, and the killer to protect or upend these ideals.Dawntide has just opened up their applications for phase one of closed beta, and you can get into the ground floor by filling out the form on their main website.
