Update: We have more codes to give!

On Tuesday June 28, one of the year’s biggest title, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, will begin beta testing its multiplayer. As it stands there are three ways to gain access to that beta: Buy Infamous 2 and receive the code, be a member of the PlayStation Network or receive one from a magnanimous tech website by being among the first 20 people to post below in the comments section and let us know what you would like to see in the game. Simple as that!

The multiplayer for Uncharted 3 will have several new features over Uncharted 2. To begin with, there will be a more cinematic flair to the multiplayer, in keeping with the campaign.  Certain levels will now have events that will change the way you approach each map. One example shown was “The Airstrip,” which begins on a cargo plane with trucks chasing it and players jumping back and forth. Once the plane takes off, the map switches to the runway and hangars.

Boosters have also been significantly altered. There will now be a set of paid boosters that you can drop cash on during a match to activate. You can also activate kickbacks which are awarded when you collect enough medals. Once you do, you can use them to unleash things like RPG attacks and many other perks to give you the edge.

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception will be one of the biggest games of the year, the Naughty Dog is making sure that the multiplayer can live up to the promise of the campaign. So what do you want to see from the multiplayer? Sound off below in the comment section, and the first twenty people to reply with what they hope to see in the multiplayer will receive a code to grant them access to the multiplayer beta that goes active on Tuesday. And go!

Ok, so the original 20 codes were claimed within minutes!  So we asked, and we were able to get our hands on 200 more.  So, if you missed out on your chance to win a beta key for the upcoming Uncharted 3 multiplayer, here’s your chance!  Simply post in the comments below, and next 200 people that chime in will receive codes!

The best accessories to use with Delta game emulator

Once Apple opened the floodgates and allowed emulators onto the App Store, Delta was one of the first on the scene. This Nintendo emulator allows you to load up your ROMs for all the classic systems, from the NES and Game Boy to the N64 and DS. With so much nostalgia suddenly available right on your phone, it's no wonder that Delta has become one of the most downloaded apps on the store. And while the emulator itself is fantastic, none of these games were intended to be played on your iPhone -- and more specifically, with the touchpad. Even the old Game Boy games can feel cramped and cluttered when you are blocking parts of the screen with your thumbs, but there are plenty of handy accessories to make your iPhone the perfect platform for Delta games.
Backbone Controller

The Backbone controller has been around for a few years and is the perfect combination of convenience and quality. It easily slides onto your iPhone and adds two thumbsticks, a D-pad, four face buttons, and two pairs of triggers. It's more than enough for any game you could emulate with Delta. The best part is that it allows you to view your screen with no obstructions so you can fully enjoy your gaming experience.

Ubisoft's XDefiant, a first-person shooter meant to take on the likes of Call of Duty, will finally get a wide release and enter its Preseason on May 21.

Ubisoft San Francisco announced XDefiant in July 2021 and has held several rounds of testing for the game since then. It's a 6v6 competitive shooter being worked on by former Call of Duty developers, where the main hook is that each faction is based on a Ubisoft franchise. Series like Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, The Division, Far Cry, and Watch Dogs are all represented here. After years of testing, Ubisoft initially promised a wide release for XDefiant sometime around September or October of 2023, but delayed the game after a public test session.
