Lots of New Games and New Magazines!

The past few weeks have been kind of crazy at the Beckett Media offices. We just finished working on the newest issue of Cheat Codes. This issue features WarioWare on the cover and a review inside. Plus we have some Reviews, Previews and Cheat Codes for some of the hottest games around such as Lost Planet, MotorStorm, Rogue Galaxy, Diddy Kong, and  many others. I've been playing the new Diddy Kong game for DS and once again, those geniuses at Nintendo have scored another winner. If you like any of those Super Mario or Donkey Kong-type games, you'll probably like this one as well. I know I did. You can race or go on an adventure in either a little mini race car, airplane or bumber car. It's way cool!

We just finished working on the newest issue of Beckett Magic the Gathering and I have to say, this issue featuring this Tiger/humanoid creature on the cover is awesome. This creature is in the hot new Magic set called Planar Chaos. You'll need to check it out to see what I mean.

Next, we just finished a brand new publication called eSports. This magazine highlights the world of competitive video gaming and is powered by those avid gamers at GotFrag.com. Players who earn money playing video games such as Halo 2, Counter-Strike and Quake are all featured in this new bi-monthly magazine. Yes, you can actually make money playing these games. What to find out more about it??? Look for the magazine on newsstand in the middle of March. Or you go directly to our Web site to read more about it: http://www.beckett.com/hotzone.

ALSO-- Some very big news. If you currently have a Fan web site of your own and truly enjoy the Beckett Magazines, you can now place a Special Beckett link of your favorite magazine onto your Web site. For complete details, go to own our web site and look to the left or right side of our homepages. There you'll see a link that says Fan Site Kit. Click that on and then copy the HTML code to your site. It's that easy! 

 

Our newest issue of Beckett Pokemon magazine will be highlighting the new Pokemon DS games -Diamond and Pearl, plus a look at all of those Legendary Pokemon. You can watch for this issue the second week in March.

WoW: Burning Crusade and Nintendo Wii

On my lunch break today, I went over to see what's happening at one of our many local GameStop stores. World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade and anything Nintendo Wii continues to be "the" items in the stores. The store manager told me that there's an incredibly long list of pre-orders for Burning Crusade.  Anyone and everyone who's been looking to join the 7 million online gamers will probably be purchasing BC. I bet it'll be the number one selling PC game of the year. I can't wait to get a copy of BC!!! Plus, I also can't wait to see a copy of our newest issue of Beckett MASSIVE ONLINE GAMER! It features the two newest races on the cover: Draenei and Blood Elves. Plus, here's a scoop for MOG fans, we have a double-sided Burning Crusade poster inside this issue as well. You can look for it on sale January 24th. This will certainly be a hot issue! 

Speaking about WoW, after logging onto the Whisperwind server over the past several days I've noticed a tremendous amount of Queue time. Is anyone else having the same problems here?!? I'm sure most of you are... because everyone and their mother is trying to level up their characters to 60 as fast as they can before BC hits the shelves. It's like Speed Racer on a case of Red Bull! Can you imagine what it's going to be like on the night of January 16th??? WHoa! It's a scary thought. I hope the Blizzard severs can handle all of this pressure.  It's going to be fun!  - Doug Kale
