In all the rush to green our planet, perhaps not enough credit is given to games like BattleForge. Shouldn't being able to play a card-based game without the senseless murder of dozens of trees for actual cards be able to usurp at least Vampire Rain or M.C. Kids on Al Gore's Top 5 Games list?
Regardless, as of March 24, you'll be able to build a jetpack out of aerosol cans or perform whatever other eco-terrorism you like, because BattleForge will be doing enough environment saving for all of us. It's got that ish locked down. That said, if you really want to be an EnergyStar, you can hop into the beta right here.

So wait, am I not going to be able to build quick-hummus traps and wield tofu bombs? :(

Alright, let me try to piece this together. "Battleforge" is the name of a game, I take it, and the reference to card games suggest that it's designed like a card game, and the fact that there is a beta suggests that it is available on PC.
Did I get it right? What do I win?

Anybody mind telling we what this game is about?
All I can gather is that its an RTS based on a card game and you make stuff out of parts of other stuff

Are those arrows against a big ass robot? That just doesn't seem plausible.

Umm, so playing a card game on a PC consuming a couple hundred watts while you are playing instead of buying some cards once is considered going green? You'd have to have a large deck of cards that you only used a few times to offset running a PC and not to mention the servers for hours and hours.
