We are going to put this next item in the rumor column since, at the time of the posting of this article, it has yet to be officially confirmed. However, sources at both Eurogamer and Kotaku report that folks have received email confirmations that the closed beta test for All Points Bulletin (APB) has now begun.

Developer Real Time Worlds has hinted that the beta would be beginning very soon for their urban themed shooter MMO. The unconfirmed reports state that the closed beta is very limited in terms of its time periods; there's only three days out of the week where the beta testers can actually sign on to play the game. However with the title due out in the first quarter of 2010 it looks like APB is sticking to its release schedule for now.
