via Computer and Video Games


You may or may not be one of over 150,000 gamers now registered to take part in the upcoming beta for Codemasters' space MMO Jumpgate Evolution.

Registration, which has been ongoing for three months, is apparently "climbing rapidly", but there's still time to sign up if you think it's your bag.

Designed for "experienced and novice MMO players alike", the NetDevil developed PC title "will allow players to choose from one of three playable nations and engage in an intense action experience featuring ship-to-ship combat in a persistent online universe", according to Codies.

The beta's kicking off in "the coming months" and the game's due out next year. Can it take on EVE Online though?
