Urban crime (game) enthusiasts, rejoice! The All Points Bulletin closed beta has begun, according to reports at both Eurogamer and Kotaku. It was rumored that the beta would begin this month and it seems there are presently three windows of gameplay a week in the All Points Bulletin CBT -- Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings, says Eurogamer's Oli Welsh. Those interested in ripping up the streets as either a Criminal or an Enforcer can still apply to become an All Points Bulletin beta tester at the game's official site.

APB is in development at Realtime Worlds in Scotland, and aims to bring a new level of online interaction to multiplayer urban crime games. Check out Massively's coverage of All Points Bulletin for more on what Realtime Worlds is creating.

A friend of a friend of a friend got in, but hasn't been able to play yet so that friend of a friend of a friend is sad. :3

I don't know why, but when I read the headline I immediately heard Yoda saying...

"Begun, the closed beta, has."

Must need coffee! :)

APB looks like the closest thing ever to the game I really want to play... an Interstate 76 MMO. Muscle cars and guns... how can it miss?
