Into RTS games and fantasy card games like Magic and Eye of Judgment? Well, there's a new PC game coming in early 2009 that you'll definitely want to check out: BattleForge. Read on to find out how you can get an early gameplay sampling of it from the Beta!

BattleForge is an upcoming fantasy RTS game from game developer Phenomic, and is being published by EA. This game blends the magic of RTS, MMO, and strategy card gameplay into one. The cards are digital, or virtual if you prefer, so there's no going out to stores to hunt them down. Or worrying about bootlegs. Virtual trading, and even auctioning, will allow you to collect more cards. Cards are made up of four forces: Fire, Frost, Nature, and Shadow. Go into battle with 20 different cards, which include creatures, buildings, and spells. You can choose from a solo campaign mode, or be bold and go for the larger 12 versus 12 battles.

Phenomic and EA are currently distributing Beta access codes for BattleForge when you signup to be part of the BattleForge Community. EA has thrown in a nice little incentive for signing up as well. A sweepstakes contest is running until December 3, 2008, where 3 ATI HD 4870 PCI-E graphics cards will be given away. To enter the contest, and get into the beta, signup here to be part of the BattleForge Community. Read more details on the BattleForge sweepstakes here. Signup soon!

Check out the official website for BattleForge here. There's already a Battleforge Soundtrack online, where you can get a sampling of the epic backdrop that will accompany battles.

More details on BattleForge:
"Team up online in real-time-strategy in BattleForge, where players can build their own armies, play with up to 12 players co-op, and battle in the action-filled PvP modes. Units, buildings, and spells are represented on digital cards and players will make decks of 20 cards before entering battle – with 200 cards at launch, players have the freedom to create unique armies to command. Expand you army as you go – no base building means you stay focused on the action – by playing the cards around anything you control.
