Yesterday (Sept. 19) was, of course, Talk Like a Pirate Day -- and also the day that Capcom opened up the beta for
Age of Booty. Yeah yeah. I'm kinda out of snickers for that one. But if you're ready to sail the hexagonal seas with your own booty bedecked pirate ship, then
pull into port over at Fileplanet for the client download. Or, if you prefer the Xbox Live Marketplace, you can certainly go that route. Some of the achievements include: 15G "Flushed Away," Use a whirlpool curse to teleport an enemy that is attacking your town; 10G "King's Pardon," Beat every challenge in the game; and 30G "Old Salt," Win 10 games in Player match.

In Age of Booty, players team up with other online players or AI-controlled pirate ships to raid, pillage, sink, and destroy their way to dominance on the high seas. Spoils of war and booty are used to upgrade and customize pirate ships to make them even more deadly as players take on 25 unique challenges and seven of the most devious Pirate Alliances on the high seas. Gain notoriety and fame by climbing the online leader boards and create and share custom maps using the intuitive map creation system.
