Go get your name in that for the Resistance 2 beta if you're so inclined. Kotaku's reporting that you can sign up now on the game's official site, that spots are likely limited, & that you'd better act fast if you want in.

You can now apparently throw some christians into the mix of Spore-haters. Yep, DRM-haters are no longer alone in their quest, though the motives are clearly from different ends of the spectrum.

Monolith successfully regained control of the rights to the F.E.A.R. name, so Project Origin is now F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin (like it should have been to start with).

"Why not drop the Project Origin name altogether? Well, for one, there has already been quite a bit of branding associated with that name, but more importantly, when Monolith lost the F.E.A.R. name it asked its community for suggestions to replace it. In a contest, Project Origin was chosen, and thus, the name has ties to the F.E.A.R. community."

According to BluesNews, Spore pre-loads have begun. Anyone who's ordered their game through the EA storefront will be able to get the majority of the game content loaded before the September 7 release date.

"When the game goes live on those dates, these customers will be able to complete download and installation to begin playing within 30-60 minutes."
