"Last year Playstation Canada ran a promotion with Future Shop called Gamer's Voice that let real gamers (for example, you or me) record game reviews and opinions. The recording stations were set-up at 6 stores in Quebec and Ontario and the clips aired on TSN, MuchMusic & Sportsnet.

This year it looks like Sony is about to open the promotion to gamers across the nation with the launch of an online version of Gamer's Speak. On the Playstation Canada website a new ad has appeared encouraging Sony gamers "start recording your reviews today". The ad also says that gamers who submit reviews/opinions will have a chance to *something*."

IGN:

"Remember that time we said we were giving away Resistance 2 beta keys and we didn't? Sorry about that. But at least we made up for it that other time we finally got around to handing them out. All 7,000 in fact.

Anyway, if you didn't get lucky first time, we've got some good news. In conjunction with Sony, we've managed to wrangle an extra 1,500 beta keys exclusively for our European readers and we'll be tossing them in your general direction later this evening."
