Coming at the end of next month, the sequel to X: Beyond the Frontier, which was a great game (except for a couple of fundamental flaws).

From this early review (http://www.totalvideogames.com/?section=Read%20Previews&id=589&gameid=3267&format=000007) it sounds like exactly the kind of game I'd be hoping for, taking the Elite style of gaming to a new level. :D

Some choice extracts;
Staggeringly it’s entirely possible to fly any of the games 70+ ships, ranging from small cargo ships to 2-Kilometer warships! It’s also possible to build up a fleet of ships giving commands from the bridge in a manner that will please any Sci-Fi fan.

It does seem that EgoSoft have got everything you could possibly wish for in ‘X2’; our particular favourite involves space-walking which you’ll have to do to transport to other ships until you can afford a transporter.

It sounds ace, I hope it lives up to this review :E

Found this Rolling Demo (http://www.enlight.com/x2/files/X2-TheThreatDemo.exe). "The X² - The Threat rolling demo also includes a benchmarking feature so you can check out how well your system runs this awesome game!"

So how do you get to be a beta tester anyway? I've always fancied trying it, especially for a game like this.
