Free-to-play gaming isn’t just the limited experience you used to get predominantly on smartphones where you would pay to unlock new levels. Now it’s possible to experience epic games like Warframe and World of Warships on your high-end PC gaming rig without ever spending a single cent.
Now is the perfect time to dive into free-to-play PC gaming and upgrade your rig as NVIDIA unveils their latest fantastic hardware bundle offer. From now until July 26th, gamers who buy a new Nvidia GeForce GTX 950 (or a notebook equipped with the GTX 950M) can claim $100 worth of in-game items for the two games mentioned above.
Warframe is a third-person, cooperative online shooter that follows the fortunes of an ancient race of warriors called the Tenno. They are awoken from centuries of cryo-sleep to find themselves at war with a race a human military clones called the Grineer, who have overrun the solar system during your extended nap.
Four players can team up with each character having a unique set of skills and abilities. Each character also has an armored exo-suit dubbed a Warframe and as you play through the game you can upgrade your weapons, your suit and even purchase awesome new Warframes. You do this using the in-game currency Platinum and if you take NVIDIA up on their GTX 950 offer you’ll get a tasty $50 worth of Platinum to get you off to a flying start.
For a much more down-to-earth, yet challenging and no less epic experience try setting sail for World of Warships, a complex and spectacular online MMO from Wargaming.net, the same folks who brought you World of Tanks and World of Warplanes. World of Warships places you in command of historic naval craft modelled with astonishing detail on the real thing. There are four classes to commandeer. Destroyers provide a good balance of speed, strength and firepower. Cruisers, while more lightweight, have a speed advantage and are highly manueverable. Battleships are the lumbering heavyweights of the team providing guns, torpedos and heavy armor. Finally comes the mighty aircraft carrier, providing some much need aerial attack strength and recon services.
With NVIDIA’s offer you’ll be able to gain an advantage over your opponents with $50 worth of upgrades there for the taking. New players get the Tier 2 Cruiser Diana and the Tier 2 Destroyer Tachibana, plus 7-days of premium time, 2000 doubloons and 100 on ship consumable flags, while existing players receive the doubloons, premium time and flags.
