So as many of you may know, APB was an mmoshooter cops and robbers game that was hosted by real time worlds back in 2010.  Well….it died…it’s unfortunate.  There is yet a ray of hope for you fans out there.  Real time worlds’ mmoshooter, APB, was purchased by a free to play game company called gamersfirst.  Gamersfirst has spent the last few months, restoring the game in a free to play style, and have just gone into open beta on monday.

For those who still don’t know, you can get into the APB open beta right now at www.gamersfirst.com.

If you played in the old days you may be thinking “what about weapons balancing and hackers?”.  Well I’m proud to say that gamersfirst has been on top of every single item that plague the original.  Weapns are far more balanced as well as cars, progression and unlocks have become more straightforward, and the hackers have been kept as low as possible.  There will always be hackers but at least gamersfirst it taking it much more seriously then RTW (real time worlds).  Punkbuster, the game’s anti-cheat program, has been helping in this matter.  If you’ve encountered a hacker in game, chances are they’re banned by now.  Gamersfirst has been right on top of everything and I’m personally very happy to be back in game.

So take the time to check out the new apb.  I believe it will be worth your while to give it a chance.

King's Bounty: The Legend accidentally free on Steam.

King’s Bounty: The Legend is currently available for free on Steam due to a glitch causing the service to think that every Steam user already owns the game. Clicking the “Play Now” button allows users to download the full game and play it.

Only time will tell if users who download the game for free will be able to keep it.

[Update] It looks like Valve has corrected this glitch and removed it from Steam users who did not purchase it. On the upside, maybe people who played it will be encouraged to buy it after trying it?
