Auto Assault Beta - Anticipation

Penny Arcade readers have been offered a chance to play the Auto Assault beta. I jumped on this a couple of days ago and received my key today. Right now I'm downloading the necessary files and should be ready to go when they open her up tomorrow. Unfortunately, our playtime is limited to the following:
"The beta weekend itself runs from 4PM (Eastern) Friday, January 27 to 3 am (Eastern) Tuesday, January 31"

The concept for this game has really piqued my interest. NCSoft hit it out of the park with the character creator in City of Heroes, so I'm interested to see how Auto Assault stacks up. Having your own "mount" from day one and being able to customize it should appeal to a vast majority of people. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, you can check out their site for more info.
