Contests

All 10,000 Warhammer: Age of Reckoning beta keys have been claimed! Looks like you people were really excited about the game. Have fun in Beta, and maybe we'll see some of you in game when it launches on the 19th!

On the other hand, sometimes you go in expecting a bit more than the game delivers. That doesn't mean that the game in question is necessarily bad, per se ... but that it just doesn't live up to what you hoped it would. These five games didn't live up to the expectations I'd gone onto the PAX show floor with.

Contests

The 3,000 keys we'd been given went pretty quickly ... but we've been sent a whopping 7,000 extra! If you entered our contest but did not get a key (due to the supply being depleted), you should automatically be given one now!

So, what're everyone's thoughts on the WAR Beta so far?

The excellent folks over at the prolific Warhammer Online fan site, Warhammer Alliance, have put together a great gameplay trailer.

The trailer consists entirely of gameplay footage captured from the beta, showing off the vast locales present in the game and the explosive skirmishes that you can look forward to when the game goes live on September 7th, 2008.

The video is available here.

Yesterday we brought you the preview of the long awaited second Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning cinematic trailer. Today, we have for you the full trailer in all its glory. The trailer is in English this time, is in better quality, and contains a good two minutes or so of extra brutal action footage. Unfortunately, we don't get to see how the ending situation resolves, but I'm sure we can all figure that one out for ourselves.

You can find the new trailer here.

It has been a long time coming, but just as Mark Jacob's promised on the Warhammer Alliance forums, the NDA would be lifted today. In an update to the WAR Herald on the official Warhammer Online website, the NDA has been officially dropped and the flood gates are now open.

Another preview of the cinematic trailer to be unveiled at Games Convention is now available. Before you pluck your hair out, it's not one of the recent 2-5 second teasers. This one is quite a doozy and will really get you salivating for the full version!

One caveat: the trailer is entirely in French, not that you're watching for the dialogue, right? Right?

You can find the video here.
