Star Wars Battlefront II Free Beta now open to everyone on PS4, Xbox One and PC

FREE Beta

The classic Star Wars games have always been a big deal for gamers, especially the original Battlefront titles. So when EA decided to return to the series with 2015’s Star Wars Battlefront, it was an exciting proposition. Despite some amazing visuals and what appeared to be a refreshed take on classic Star Wars multiplayer, reviewers and gamers alike were less than impressed when it finally hit store shelves. The core experience was certainly there the first time around, but EA is looking for some serious redemption with Star Wars Battlefront II.

This week the early beta kicked off for those who pre-ordered and today it is now open to everyone…

Hands-on: SNES Classic Edition – a near perfect dose of nostalgia [Video]

Hands-on

I’ve been a gamer since as far back as I can remember. I bought my first Nintendo back in the mid-80’s and was hooked from there. I’m no longer as big of a gamer as I once was, but I remain a fan of Nintendo to this day.

Hence, it’s no surprise that both the NES and SNES Classic Edition consoles resonated with me. The SNES Classic Edition in particular, since the original is my favorite gaming console of all-time. Unboxing this little guy brought back a wave of nostalgic memories in an instant, and I couldn’t help but smile as I held the miniature SNES in my hand.

free-to-play

We have been seeing some great freebie weekends and demos go live this year from AAA developers including the likes of Mafia 3, Elder Scrolls Online, For Honor and more. While many of these are likely just part of marketing strategies to bring new players to the game post-release, anytime we can get some free content on PS4 and Xbox One it is a good thing.
