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
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."
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
