Recently, there have been more and more interesting online games coming out in China. With Monster Hunter Online and Call of Duty Online, there will be two top tier free-to-play games in the middle kingdom. While these games are only available in China, that doesn't mean enterprising players abroad can't play them.
In anticipation for tomorrow's official launch of BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic online retailers began shipping copies of the game to customers early so they'd have their registration codes ready. Unfortunately that trick only works if the box has a registration code in it. Many did not.
Hello Game Clubbers!

With the Penny Arcade Expo's habit of selling out far in advance, fans eager to attend next year's PAX East should probably register as soon as humanly possible.

It seems like only five days ago that the inaugural PAX East came to a close, and now pre-registration for PAX...West? Just PAX? What the hell do we call it now? Anyway, you can buy tickets now.

SOE is now accepting registration monies for their 2008 SOE Fan Faire, being held August 14th through the 17th at the Las Vegas Hilton in beautiful downtown...you know. $89 gets you an All-Access pass, which secures you a sneak-peek at "three monumental new games in development". Interesting.
