Not sure what the requirements are for submitting games, but this game is in a finished product in Korea but recently (7-8 weeks ago I believe) they launched an open beta of the game in English.  The beta is pretty much the full Korean game minus just a few large features and a handful of small ones.  It is free to play to the fullest extent, although in its final version donations will be allowed in order to buy premium items which are slightly stronger and look better, but overall the game is FREE for everyone and they have stated that it will ALWAYS be free

Anyways, not sure if you'd accept an open beta game for reviewing, but if you'd like a review I can go ahead and make a quality review of it   Give it a try.

It's up there as a game they want and I might do a review of it.

Whoa looks like a really cool game.

I'm too late....oh well, if anyone doesn't want to do it I'l do a review, been doing it for a while now   Level...22...
But, I would suggest we wait until the game is completely finished before a review, they are constantly adding new material, and lots more is planed.

We do actually have a review, but we're having a sort of issue with this one. Upon further research, the game is scheduled to be released as non-freeware, which sort of puts a downer on adding it to the site. We're waiting til Kosta gets back for the final judgement

Oh, well slow me. Ummm...."Non-freeware" you sure? As far as I know, the only part thats going to cost money is if you want to buy certain parts of equipment, like exchange real money for virtual money, everything else is free, I think....

Here is the policy page for gameNgame.com, the company that is holding the international beta release rights for Gunz: The Duel (as well as a few other Korean MMOGs).

Basically, gameNgame serves as a beta-testing community gateway into releasing Korean games to the international community, and specifically states that once the betas are finalized, the releases will be available "as a fee-based service."

Hmm, this is...weird......evil devs lied to us "free forever" hmmm, maybe I'l go post om the forums and see whats up with this...

[PrejudiceSucks]

Any news?

Well, then someone should just review Nexuiz, a fabulous multiplayer open-source shooter in the likes of Quake. It's pure fun.

[PrejudiceSucks]

There's now an open beta on Fileplanet if anyone wants Gunz...

Maybe it's free to play, but you can bet your sweet butts that any gear you can buy with your "real" money will be tons better than the basic stuff that's "for free". I've seen it in a couple "browser based" RPG's lately - they let you indeed play for free, but only paying members get the "good" stuff, like personalized avatars or special equipment or access to "premium" areas. Check out www.sryth.com if you want to know what I'm talking about, it's just one example.
