YouGamers is an online services built for gamers: You choose a game, the site scans your computer hardware, and then displays whether or not your computer can play the game. If your PC doesn’t meet the requirements, the website will give you some advice about what you should upgrade in order to play. Attentive users will notice that the scans are run with 3DMark, which is the industry standard for computer hardware scanning and evaluation. So, if you’re wondering about Crysis crashing your machine, just check with YouGamers.
See If Your Computer Can Run A Game Before You Play It!
I used YouGamers to see just how well it worked, and I have to say I love it. I knew that Assassin’s Creed had high system requirements, so I went tried seeing if my computer could handle the power. After a quick 2-minute wait, during which I could still browse around the internet, YouGamers had scanned my computer and told me that I beat the minimum requirements to play Assassin’s Creed, but if I wanted to see its full glory, I should get a new videocard. I declined because I’m poor right now, but at least I knew that my machine could take the game when I got around to buying it.

Microsoft opened up its testing doors to gamers of all ages this week, inviting them to sign up and join their game beta testing program. The only requirements are that you complete the initial sign up and come back to update your profile every once and while. I quote from the Microsoft website, “Whether you play once a year or every day, whether you pre-order the latest consoles or wouldn’t think of paying for a game – we want feedback from you!”

If you want to influence the games you play, sign up to be a part of the testing experience. Did I mention that it’s free?

Battlefield Heroes, the new free-to-play game created by EA, has just recently hit beta stages, with much fanfare from Battlefield (and Team Fortress 2 players) alike. The beta announcement was initially made by Broken Eggs Media, who oversee the very popular Battlefield Podcast.

Concerning the game itself, it looks to be a cartoon shooter with little to no relations to the actual Battlefield series, instead following in the footsteps the widely popular Team Fortress 2. Unlike TF2, however, EA is offering up Heroes for FREE, hoping that micro transactions will pay for the costs of making and marketing the game. Another oddity about the game is that you can only start the game by going to the Heroes website and clicking a “Play Now!” button. EA is hoping to make the site a sort-of social area by showing off scoreboards, updates, etc.
