The holiday gift-giving season is almost here, so naturally, there are a number of big video games hitting the market in the next few weeks.

Sure there's Fallout, a newish Halo game, Rock Band 3 for music nerds, but clearly, the highlight circled on everyone's video game release calendar is Left Behind 3: Rise of the Antichrist.

Thankfully, we're passing on to you, loyal Range reader, the opportunity to try this game before you can even buy it. By that, we mean that we found a press release for a demo event, thought it seemed funny, and decided to post it.

We are announcing the launch of our newest PC real-time strategy game, LEFT BEHIND 3: rise of the Antichrist, based on the best selling LEFT BEHIND book series created by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. Join the ultimate fight of Good versus Evil, commanding the Tribulation Forces, the Global Community Peacekeepers and the American Militia! This event includes 4 tutorials, 9 multiplayer maps, internet and LAN play for up to 8 players simultaneously.

If you are interested in signing up to participate in this event, please fill out the registration form and then click on the "Register" button. In order to participate, you must register no later than Nov. 17, 2010.

After successful registration, you will shortly receive instructions, an exclusive serial code, and a link to download and install the game on your computer.

If you end up playing, let us know how the game is. I've always wanted to be a part of the "American Militia," but I don't really like guns or leaving my house, so this could be a great opportunity to live out my dreams.
