More On: Archlord
"CodeMasters" has put out some more nice screenshots of ArchLord, and let everyone know the Beta has entered "Phase 3".
Why is "CodeMasters" in quotes? Think about it. They glossed themselves as masters of code. That's like me calling Sean Colleli "Samus" just because he REALLY REALLY wants me to. Of course, since it's their name, I guess legally they are CodeMasters. Why is "Phase 3" in quotes? Because it makes it sound more official. Like "DefCon 1" and "Threat Level: Light Fuscia".
The ArchLord is Revealed
