"Tabula Rasa" Beta Sign-Ups Announced

NCsoft, creators of "Auto Assault" and the resulting massive unemployment, have announced beta sign-ups for "Tabula Rasa," their FPS sci-fi humans v. aliens MMO.

This game is on our radar because it is the project of "Ultima" and "Ultima Online" mastermind Richard "Lord British" Garriott, one of a handful of game designers whose efforts have been significant enough to make him a household name -- in gaming households, anyway.

If you have a PlayNC account and want to play in the beta, check out the official site.
