Hawken Closed Beta

Hey there people on the internetz,
I'm currently playing in the Hawken Closed Beta and loving it. There's a certain joy about running around in a 20 ton mech, shooting and blowing up other people that makes the Transformers fan inside me get a little giddy.

The colour scheme on the other hand is dark and gritty, the sort of stuff we've come to expect from post-apocalyptic and futuristic games. Every colour under the 'grey, grey dark grey and brown' spectrum has been used here. It is nice though to be able to add some detail and colour to your mech though.

Hawken uses a customisation system where you can choose a set of abilties (self healing droid for example), your weapons and your appearance. Personally I think it's just enough customisation to add a heap of adversity to the gameplay because to be honest... If everyone could only choose from a list of 3 different mechs:
- A short range
- A mid range
- A long range
All though it would require a lot more team-work, I think it would get a little boring.

Keeping in mind that this is their last beta until the games release later this year, I'm really excited to see what happens with this one.

For your chance to join the closed beta, like the 'HiTechLegion' Facebook page, they should have over a hundred free codes on their wall, if not, hit up their email and ask about the beta.

Also keep an eye out for my 'Hitman: Absolution' and 'Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale' reviews... They're on their way.

Just an update

Hey guys,

It's been a while since I've posted anything, I've been pretty busy with uni and I haven't had a lot of time to think about anything to post.
It's coming towards the year of my uni year so I'm hopefully going to be posting a little bit more frequently with things such as game updates, things that are happening in the gaming-sphere and I may even try out some reviews.

Until then...
