Want to sign up to the beta test for the upcoming massively multiplayer first-person shooter MAG? Well, there's good news, and there's bad news.
The good news: PS3 gamers still have a whole week to register, and with 16,000 beta keys up for grabs, there's a pretty good chance you can still take advantage of this opportunity to make gaming history.
The bad news: the beta will only be open six hours a day, Monday to Friday -- 5pm to 8pm, and midnight to 3am Greenwich Mean Time. That's great if you're English, but for Sydney-siders, that means playing between 3am and 6am, or 10am and 1pm -- right in the middle of the day.

Each week, we collate the most popular stories that we published over the past seven days, plus a lineup of the most downloaded files added in the same timeframe. That way, in case you missed something, you can catch up in one helpful little spot, every Monday morning.
Last week there was a lesson: Don't make threats against your country while playing games, you'll get arrested. The rest of the week was full of night-vision goggles, giant mechs, and a couple of our E3 videos - Borderlands and Aliens vs. Predator.
For the rest, you'll have to check the full list!

MAG is still a bit of an unknown quantity. It's been stuck with one of the most unimaginative names in the games industry (Massive Action Game), but people still don't really know too much about it.
If you've been itching to know how exactly this 256-player online shooter is going to work, we've got a few tidbits to share with you, as part of our ongoing E3 coverage. Bennett and the crew caught up with Ed Byrne, creative director at developers Zipper Interactive, to find out a bit more about the game - including details on how exactly a side of 128 people are going to communicate via voice-based chat.

Another Tuesday means that it is time for your weekly dose of Now Playing, where each week, Games On Net brings you a selection of the most interesting and sometimes boring trailers released recently.
This week, we start the festivities with a new developer diary from Dark Void, which kind of reveals why people probably won't get the game when it is released. After that we get extremely unnerved by bizarre marketing courtesy of Saints Row 2 which questions my faith in humanity. After that, we declare war on the world, by embarking on a journey into Massive Action Game. After that, we fail to learn how exactly Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince came to be (we're told it was magic), before finally settling a childhood rivalry with a not so Mega Man.

While the rest of us are stuck at home, experiencing E3 only through the wonders of the internets, Bennett Ring and a Games On Net camera crew are stationed in LA, checking out all of the goodies first hand.
This morning, we're jumping right into the thick of things and checking out the Sony press conference. We have a liveblog for your reading pleasure, but if you're the sort who prefers moving pictures, you'd be well advised to check out our second video post, recorded live at E3.

E3 begins on Tuesday morning at the ungodly hour of 2am (AEST) and the Games On Net crew will be bringing you the latest news from the show – we’ll have a few people over there working the show floor, and a full team of newsbots here in Australia posting the latest news, videos and screens of newly announced games. With the show reportedly back to full strength this year, it’s going to be big, so I hope you enjoy our coverage and that your developer of choice announces something you want.
To get into the E3 mood, this week’s Warp Pipe is going to hop on the bandwagon and make a whole bunch of E3 predictions.

May day! May day! Well, that was a few days ago now, but it won't stop me from attempting to capitalise upon recent events to imbue the latest instalment of Now Playing with some element of dry humour and pointless babble. This week, like all other weeks before, you shall be treated to the most interesting, boring, and otherwise entertaining moving images from video games otherwise known as trailers that have been towed into the file mirror in the past week.
This week, we begin our tragic tale with a journey to a perfect world before realising that MOTHER RUSSIA WILL NEVER DIE, and that "massive" for an action game is defined by a rather small figure, 256. After that, we meet up with a two man army of sorts before finally escaping the banality of this week's trailer collection with a dramatic movie tie in space.

So the 2008 E3 Media and Business Summit has wrapped up. Bitter fanboys are sure to have run out of tears, at least temporarily, while tired journalists are no doubt catching up on some much needed sleep. I have no doubt that many of you have long lists of games you're now salivating over even more than before – better start putting those pennies aside. On the other hand, those of us on the reviewing side of things are currently wondering how on Earth we're going to manage to cover all of the fourth quarter's games without going insane.
This week, we'll reflect on the events that transpired during the three manufacturer press conferences and discuss our thoughts and any potential ramifications, and we'll also look at a few of the best games that were on show.
