If you're still looking for beta keys for Blizzard's Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, you won't have to look for much longer. This year's Blizzcon opened with chief creative officer Rob Pardo announcing that the game would enter open beta next month.

According to IGN, Pardo's statement made sure to account for possible delays, adding the possibility that the beta could begin some time in January.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?

      If you wanna play on your iPad/Android now. Check out Splashtop. Works pretty damn well grabbing the cards and flicking them on the table.
