Go here to do it. You get in to beta and you get 3 day early access. If you are skeptical, oh well, I think it will be a great time in an MMO with no monthly fee, which takes a lot of the pain away.
The day has finally arrived. Blizzard has just announced that Diablo 3 will be released on May 15th, 2012. It is available for digital pre-order here: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/
In order to meet this date, Blizzard had to cut the entire PvP system from the launch of the game. It will, however, be added back in later with a patch. The development team said they are not happy with PvP in its current state, and they did not want to punish those waiting for the single-player and co-op portions of the game.

http://www.simcity.com/en_US A new SimCity is on the way. 9 years since the last. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for this game. I had a blast playing it as a kid and I always liked picking it up an playing it on a lazy day off. I am pretty excited for this one. Anyone else?
A new Survival Horror Puzzle game is upon us. Coming from Tequila Games it is set on the West Coast USA and is following the trend of Post Apocalyptic scenarios. So far it looks visually spectacular. Something to keep your eyes on.
Game is slated for Summer 2012.
Just an amazing Season 2 trailer I needed to share.
If you have not seen S1, check it out. It is quality. If you are interested, you can skip book 1, and jump into the second after watching S1. I do recommend reading them, they are big, but worth it.
I have hyped a lot of MMOs. Warhammer, Vanguard, Conan (until I played beta for 4 mins), Aion, others...
The ones listed above failed miserably in my opinion. And I am cancelling star wars, not because it is horrible, it is actually a solid MMO, but once you achieve everything it loses it's luster, and I am not going to wait for the rust to turn to gold.
All that being said, Guild Wars 2 looks absolutely amazing. The concept, the artwork, the fluidness... I am not going to hype this game, I am just going to say if they pull off what they are hoping to... it will be quite amazing.
Some sites to help get anyone interested caught up to speed:
US shop GameStop is selling codes for a Mass Effect 3 DLC pack named 'From Dust' - ahead of the game's March release.
From Dust costs $10, according to a receipt snapped by Joystiq shows - likely meaning the usual 800 Microsoft Points price point.
What do you get for your money? EA and BioWare are yet to say.
BioWare has already confirmed that the mysterious additional squad member and mission found in Mass Effect 3's Collector's Edition will be available day-one.
Or is this something else?
