Blimey, It's The: Battleforge Open Beta

The open beta of EA's card-trading fantasy RTS is now awake and ready for you, with all units - including the special retail purchase ones - available to all gamers who participate. Battleforge had been completely off my radar until yesterday and I have to say I'm unexpectedly impressed. The card-deck idea is indeed compelling, and - from some brief early impressions - it's looking like it's actually not a bad RTS either. I've posted the "Nature" faction trailer after the jump so that you can get an idea of the game in action. Go sign up at the slightly cranky website, I think the full install is about 2gb.
