Battlefield Heroes will be available outside of US & Europe

PC News from N4G | Battlefield Heroes

PC - Battlefield Heroes - Battlefield Heroes will be available outside of US & Europe

One quick 'rumor squashing' comment from the Battlefield Heroes blog:

"A few news sites seem to be reporting that Battlefield Heroes will not be available in Australia. This is most certainly not the case. Battlefield Heroes is available as a free download from the web, and as such would probably be available even if you connect to the internet via a satellite dish from a small unheated hut on the steppes of Uzbekistan."

PC - Battlefield Heroes - Battlefield Heroes Not Available Outside Of US and Europe

Battlefield Heroes looks interesting! Pity, then, that Kotaku (AU) won't be able to play it, as EA have announced that despite being a free download, the game won't be available to players in places like Australia, New Zealand, Japan...South Africa, and...oh, Mexico.

Battlefield: Heroes – Free, Online - The Future?

PC News from N4G | Battlefield Heroes

PC - Battlefield Heroes - Battlefield: Heroes – Free, Online - The Future?

Electronic Arts are nearly ready to unleash their Western foray into a revitalised and radical business model. This summer Battlefield: Heroes will be free and only downloadable from the internet.

In a venture hoping to bring in both gamers who are deferred by Battlefield's steep learning curve and those not willing to shell out £40 at every new release, Battlefield: Heroes has a broad visual appeal (akin to Team Fortress 2, but we'll let them off in sake of progress), 15 minute matches and hopes to strip the game of its frenetic confusion and brick-wall difficulty.

Cards Forged in Battle

PC - BattleForge - Cards Forged in Battle

GameVortex writes:
"Developed by EA Phenomic, the team behind the SpellForce series, Battle Forge is a blend of RTS and CCG (collectable card game), which was enough to get my attention. For the most part, gameplay runs similar to a traditional RTS; you can move units around the battlefield in real time and must collect resources to construct new units. The major difference is that there are no buildings aside from monuments, which are sort of like "life points" and forges, which produce your main resource."
