Monte Cristo's upcoming PC city-building title Cities XL is massive. So massive, in fact, that releasing it without beta testing it would be... irresponsible.

And that's just what they're doing right now, as the Cites XL closed-beta started some time last week. That's right, we said "closed," as in "not everyone's invited." But we have some beta keys, and we want to give them to you.

Today, we'll be giving away 50 beta keys for Cities XL. Getting one is going to be easy, but please follow directions: 

• Make sure you're following Destructoid on Twitter. You can find us here. 
• Leave a comment in this post with the text "I want a Cities XL beta key @Your_Twitter_Name (example: "I want a Cities XL beta key @nickchester")
• Do not, for the love of all things holy, reply to us on Twitter. Please read the above step again.
  Please.
• Once the first 50 reply, we will direct message you a beta key via Twitter. If you are not following Destructoid on Twitter, we will not be able to send you the key. So please see step number one again.

This will go on until we're our of keys for the day, but don't despair if you're not one of the lucky few -- we have a few more to give away over the next few days. Good luck!

[Update: The 50 keys are gone, folks. If you were among the first 50 to ask for one, you should be getting a direct message from @dtoid shortly. If you didn't win, no worries -- we'll be giving more away tomorrow.]
