Computer Games Magazine Gives Readers World Exclusive Advanced Access To Upcoming Massively Multiplayer PC Game

June Issue Offers Access Codes to Beta Version of Upcoming Online Game Vanguard

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.-April 25, 2006--In a continuing effort to give readers more from its magazine, Computer Games Magazine, published by the media division of theglobe.com, today announced it will give gamers the world exclusive advanced access to the closed beta version of the highly anticipated massively multiplayer online (MMO) game Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, through an exclusive deal with developer Sigil Games.

In the June issue of Computer Games Magazine, gamers will find an access code to the new game that will allow them to play it well ahead of its tentatively planned year-end release date. According to the game's designer, Sigil Games Online, Vanguard promises to offer more rewards for collaboration and group participation than many of the other MMO games on the market.

"We are always looking for opportunities to give our readers more than just an editorial experience with Computer Games Magazine," said Jayson Dubin, Vice President and Publisher of Computer Games Magazine. "The role consumers play in game development has expanded greatly as developers like Sigil count on feedback to create the final design and implementation for many games coming to the market, including Vanguard."

Computer Games Magazine has built a reputation for giving its readers opportunities to experience games behind-the-scenes of their official launch date through strategic deals with major game publishers. The publication gave readers advanced access to the online game Asheron's Call 2 as well as Guild Wars last year.
"Our readers love being part of the game development process," said Dubin. "It's something they have come to expect from Computer Games Magazine."
The June issue of Computer Games Magazine hits newsstands on May 3 and will be available at retailer partners such as Barnes & Noble and Borders. More information about the Vanguard promotion can be found at http://www.cgonline.com/vanguard and gamers can subscribe to the magazine online at http://www.cgonline.com/subscribe.
