Preliminary qualifiers have been scheduled for the Electronic Sports World Cup scheduled for July 8-13 in the Futuroscope in Poitiers, France. Also, here's another reminder of the Galactic Civilizations Game Giveaway on UGO offering the opportunity to win a copy of the upcoming space strategy game signed by its developers at Stardock Software before it is available in stores. You can participate on UGO and locally here as well as on Caster's Realm, Gamer's Pulse, and PC Gameworld. There are five copies being given away on each site, so signing-up at each will increase your chances of winning. Apologies in advance to our overseas readers, as this contest is open to U.S. residents only.
