Computer Games Magazine Gives Readers World Exclusive Advanced Access To Upcoming Massively Multiplayer PC Game
June Issue Offers Access Codes to Beta Version of Upcoming Online Game Vanguard
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.-April 25, 2006--In a
continuing effort to give readers more from its magazine,
Computer Games Magazine, published by the media division of
theglobe.com, today announced it will give gamers the world
exclusive advanced access to the closed beta version of the
highly anticipated massively multiplayer online (MMO) game
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, through an exclusive deal with
developer Sigil Games.
In the June issue of Computer Games Magazine, gamers will
find an access code to the new game that will allow them to
play it well ahead of its tentatively planned year-end
release date. According to the game's designer, Sigil Games
Online, Vanguard promises to offer more rewards for
collaboration and group participation than many of the other
MMO games on the market.
"We are always looking for opportunities to give our readers
more than just an editorial experience with Computer Games
Magazine," said Jayson Dubin, Vice President and Publisher of
Computer Games Magazine. "The role consumers play in game
development has expanded greatly as developers like Sigil
count on feedback to create the final design and
implementation for many games coming to the market, including
Vanguard."
Computer Games Magazine has built a reputation for giving its
readers opportunities to experience games behind-the-scenes
of their official launch date through strategic deals with
major game publishers. The publication gave readers advanced
access to the online game Asheron's Call 2 as well as Guild
Wars last year.
"Our readers love being part of the game development
process," said Dubin. "It's something they have come to
expect from Computer Games Magazine."
The June issue of Computer Games Magazine hits newsstands on
May 3 and will be available at retailer partners such as
Barnes & Noble and Borders. More information about the
Vanguard promotion can be found at http://www.cgonline.com/vanguard and gamers
can subscribe to the magazine online at http://www.cgonline.com/subscribe.
