If you find regular war games just a bit too realistic these days, you’ll be pleased to hear that the developer of Battlefield Heroes, the cartoony online multiplayer shooter, is giving out beta testing keys. You just have to sign up here, and wait for a key to be emailed to you (it may take a few days).

Once you’ve got your key, after the installation process you’ll finally be able to log in and play. The game itself is really cool, with the emphasis on fun and accessibility. This is a game everyone should be able to enjoy, not just the hardcore gamer. There’s a training mission that’ll take you through everything you need to know, and then you’re off. Players are ranked, so you shouldn’t be outgunned by battle-hardened killers.

It’s completely free, and really well put together. The only criticism I had of it was that you can only play in full-screen mode, meaning you can’t jump out for a second to check your mail and so on. You probably won’t want to be distracted though, as the action’s really fast paced and competitive. We can’t wait for the full release of Battlefield Heroes.
