If you are one of the multi aspirants for the Battlefield Heroes beta, you have maybe carried on imparted upon of their via a somber mass email, but QA Boss, the association in credit of registration for alleged beta test, has felt a security breach that “exposes QA Boss forum user names, email addresses and encrypted passwords.” The signal and quantity of the breach, and who, if anyone, did the breaching, we have yet to discover — nor do we can appreciate if it plans to impact the progress of the beta test.

QA Boss advises homeowners who uses a single password for all the drastic logins, and used up alleged password in the Battlefield Heroes beta signup, when and if likely difference the current password as a precautionary measure. Too bad, as our original cipher was nigh uncrackable — “drowssaP”. It’s “password” backwards! Brilliant, right?

[Thanks to homeowners who sent this moment in!]

With S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky shipping worldwide on August 29, Deep Silver has announced that it will handle publishing duties in North America for developer GSC Game World’s upcoming prequel to 2007’s S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. We think it’s particularly interesting that Deep Silver, a UK-based studio that only established a US footprint last month in Los Angeles, has been trusted to steer the game’s North American debut instead of THQ, which handled original game’s release last year.

As the latest in GSC’s considerable plans for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe, the game promises a “what-if” look at the events leading up to last year’s FPS/RPG hybrid, and according to Deep Silver was “created as a warning to mankind against mindless play with technologies” — especially, we assume, any tech that can give rise to hordes of radioactive beasties.

Valve’s multiplayer survival-horror romp Left4Dead is due out later this year, but it won’t be coming to the PlayStation 3. Said Valve’s Doug Lombardi, “We’re not PS3 developers — we’re doing PC and 360 like with Orange Box” (Via CVG). He said that Valve would consider a PS3 port if L4D ends up a success and if another dev wanted “to take on that investment and risk” to port the game.

Lombardi explained that the PS3 port of Orange Box came about after Electronic Arts offered to do the port — and we’ve all heard the story of that one.
