Giveaway: win a copy of Crusader Kings 2
We have ten codes for Crusader Kings 2 to give away to our most devious readers. You’ll need a ruthless streak if you’re going to keep the throne in this expansive medieval strategy game. Waging war and maintaining your kingdom are important, but you’ll also have to work hard to secure a healthy line of succession for your empire using favoured medieval methods, like assassination, and marriage. The trailer above provides a glimpse of the nefarious practices needed to keep your pawns in all the right places.
All you have to do to win a code is answer the following question in the comments. We’ll pick out our ten favourites next week.
Hack, slash, and kick it old-school with a free copy of Legend of Grimrock [Giveaway]
There’s been quite a kerfuffle as of late around Almost Human’s Legend of Grimrock, the traditional grid-based dungeon crawler that’s coming to Steam and GOG.com this April. Truth be told, we’re stoked to try out the game’s first-person, party-of-four questing—slashing skeletons and avoiding trapdoors like it’s 1990. Want to see what it looks like when you marry Skyrim-level graphics with gameplay from two-decade-old RPGs? Read on to see how you can snag a copy free of charge.
Ghost Recon Online beta key giveaway
The dictionary lists reconnaissance as a “a search made for useful military information in the field, especially by examining the ground,” a common pastime of ghosts, possibly, but not an advisable tactic in Ubisoft’s fierce free to play shooter, Ghost Recon Online. Staring at the floor will only get you dead.
GRO is a free to play, tactical, class-based team shooter with lots of levelling and some mad gadgets. You have to take points to earn XP and push back the enemy team, employing futuristic dome shields and microwave beams to draw enemies out of cover so you can snipe them in the head. Get a feel for the three classes in the recent Ghost Recon Online trailer and have a read of our Ghost Recon Online preview for a sense of what it’s like to play.
If you’d like to try it before it’s out, CVG have thousands of beta keys to give away. Head thataway for details on how to sign up for your chance to grab a slot. Good luck!
Command a menacing metal beast with our World of Tanks giveaway
World of Tanks favors leaders—the kind that can assess a battlefield in the blink of an eye, then relay orders to their teammates that’ll secure a decisive victory. But what if you’re a born leader who refuses to spend money for better equipment? That’s where we come in.
Take on colossal monsters with our RaiderZ alpha key giveaway
Perfect World Entertainment wants you to see the great outdoors—then slay the gigantic monsters that populate the world of RaiderZ. This MMO is fashioned after the wildly popular Monster Hunter series, and is definitely one we’re keeping our eyes on. But why not play it while you keep tabs on its humongous baddies?
Celebrate Heroes of Newerth’s 100th hero by trying him out for free! [Giveaway]
On Friday, S2 Games hit a major milestone with its flagship franchise, Heroes of Newerth, by adding the 100th hero to the game’s humongous roster. That hero is Kinesis, a slick Intelligence caster who excels at nuking his enemies to death by quickly chaining telekinetic spells. Want to try him out, totally free of charge? We’ve got 50 unlock codes for Kinesis, and with HoN being free-to-play, anyone can give this landmark hero a go.

Greetings, PCG visitors! Stay awhile, and listen! We’ve got a heap of Diablo III beta codes, and we want to give them to you.

We’ll be giving away the codes en masse on the PC Gamer Facebook and Twitter pages; simply find the post, hit the “Like” button, then click “Reshare.” Once we’ve hit our (super-secret) tallies, we’ll throw out another batch of codes like money onto a crowded street.

Slip into a beautiful nightmare with the Alan Wake Collector’s Edition [Giveaway]
Sure, we might’ve gotten it a tad later, but clearly the definitive Alan Wake experience is on the PC. In fact, this surreal survival-horror game looks so good that we’d like to share it with you. Well, to be honest, we just don’t want to be the only ones who have to go to sleep with the lights on after playing it. Read on to find out how you can snag yourself a free copy of Remedy Entertainment’s cerebral thriller—the Collector’s Edition, no less!
Score some swag for F2P shooter Repulse [Giveaway]
If you’re going to succeed in the awfully-crowded F2P FPS market, you’re going to have to find a way to set yourself apart. Aeria Games’ latest run-’n'-gun, Repulse, has all the usual modes we’ve come to expect: Deathmatch, CTF, infection (known here as Invasion), and objective-based maps. But the game’s movement abilities are what really stand out. And we’re here to help you start playing in style, right from the get-go, without setting foot in the item shop. We’re giving away 2,000 codes for a sweet item-bundle, but hurry—these firearms are on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Get a free Tribes: Ascend Soldier Utility Pack
Update: We ran out, but then the lovely guys at Hi-Rez gave us 1000 more! They won’t last long.
Tribes: Ascend is now in open beta (so go play, seriously), and in celebration of the wide release, Hi-Rez has graciously provided us with 1000 codes redeemable for the new Soldier Utility Pack (worth 240 GP), which can be upgraded to grant Soldiers an additional grenade slot, increased health, and faster running.
EU Giveaway: win Access to the Aion free-to-play beta
Aion is a CryEngine powered MMO in which you play as a winged, angelic warrior tasked with defending the gorgeous realm of Atreia against invading forces. Constant updates since launch have added new zones, flighty PvP, cute pets, afros and more. The once-ponderous levelling speed has been boosted time and time again to give players the chance to see more of Aion’s beautiful zones. It’s going free to play in Europe in the coming months and we’re giving you a chance to spread your wings early.
We’ve got 500 keys to give away for the Aion free to play beta. If you get into the beta, you’ll automatically be granted ‘Veteran’ status when Aion free to play goes live. This will give you a few extra features over starter players, like the ability to open up your own shop.
All you need to do to enter is put your name and email address into the Aion beta key competition page, which you can discover through this link right here.
I want in on the Aion beta. Give me wings, PC Gamer!
And that’s all there is to it. If you win a key, you can redeem it on the Aion Free to Play site. They’ll be sent out once we all 500 have been snapped up, so tell your friends if you want in quicker. The Aion client is available to pre-load here. Good luck!
