Did you like the look of Darkspore in Mike B. aka Fony's latest BFF Report? Then you may want to participate in the closed beta event that kicked off today and is being held through Friday, April 1 at noon PDT. All you need to do is head over to Steam and grab the game to try it out for the rest of the week.

Darkspore was originally scheduled to launch on March 29, but it's since been pushed back to April 26 in North America and April 28 in Europe. You can currently pre-purchase Darkspore on Steam to receive Maldri, a Quantum hero, and an exclusive armor pack featuring three stat boosting items on day one.
