LEGO Universe beta sign-ups are now open screenshot

It's been far too long since we've talked about beta sign-ups for a big-name MMO. Sure, there's been plenty of discussion about console betas -- the kind that are essentially demos and used primarily for marketing purposes; MMO betas, though? Not so much.

What better game to help us break that silence than NetDevil's LEGO Universe? By all accounts, it could be the hot new thing for anyone who grew up playing with LEGOs, not just today's kids. Plus, it's different enough in subject matter that we won't have to bring up World of Warcraft. Shoot! Too late.

Here's the link you'll need to get set up for this thing. It's required that you have a LEGO ID, but the process is pretty painless and once you get your account finalized, it only takes a few seconds to confirm your desire to gain access to the beta.

NIS changes name of Holy Invasion of Privacy due
to IP conflict

NIS changes name of Holy Invasion of Privacy due to IP conflict screenshot

In an odd and surprising turn, NIS America has changed the name of its PlayStation Portable title Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman to What Did I Do To Deserve This, My Lord?!.

NIS says the name change is because "the original title had a conflict of interest with an existing IP." While the publisher doesn't get specific, said conflict could be related in some way to DC Comics' Batman character (although that's not been confirmed).

"We did not intend to create any conflict," the statements reads, "so we have decided to change the title."

Fair enough. The sequel to the original game, the game formerly known as Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! 2 (and now What Did I Do To Deserve This, My Lord ?! 2) will be released on May 4.
