Likely a scam.
Beta testing is not about getting to play the game before it's released, its a rigorous job where the player tries his damned best to break the game.
Everyone who makes and/or releases games knows this. They are not just going to hand out copies to everyone who gives them their home address.
Also note how you must register befored being allowed to see anything besides the main page. That means clicking OK to a message that may be about giving the webpage rights to acess your computer, no matter what the text actually says.
Conclusion: scam and trojan/keylogger/virus-nest.

Sounds like a scam to me!
Although I don't know what they have to gain... except your email address so they can bomb you with adds.

I am unsure whether or not it's a scam. Most companies release beta applications themselves, so these guys may just be a group of people who get in there quick for their people. Or they may be people waiting for gullible, eager gamers who want to play new games for free, before they're released.
Hmm I'm not sure, if it doesn't ask for any money then I guess you have nothing to lose for trying it.
Its a scam. just google it.
"It's just a page to download a FLV Player.
If you register, it will direct you to http://betatestgamers.com/video.html where it shows a "video". Well, it doesn't show, because "you don't have FLV codecs installed". And it redirects you to a page where you can install those codecs(w/o spyware, of course...)."
