Oh, I plum forgot until Lantesh made his post, but EA is giving away Red Alert 2 and its expansion, Yuri's Revenge, for free on Origins for a limited time. Strangely the game available for my region is " Theme Hospital", which was already offered a few months ago.

Any non-rental mount is good to have as early as possible. A free one is even better.

Good stuff, though I must admit, STO is now officially the game that I almost never play yet always hoard stuff in.

World of Warships giveaway for US and Canada. You can use both the bonus code and the invite code if you create a new account. na.alienwarearena.com/giveaways/world-of-warships-bonus-code-invite-code-key-giveawayThis one is a pretty extensive giveaway. The ship on its own is $12 in the cash shop. 1k gold (cash shop currency) is just under $10 normally. Then add in 1 week sub time and 1 mil credits (in game currency) and its a rather beefy giveaway. The game itself isn't bad either. Fun little arena based naval shooter. Has both PvE matches and PvP matches. PvP is the main focus of the game and the rewards are much higher in PvP, but the PvE mode is great if you dislike PvP. Be warned though, the NPC AI can be brutal at times. Several matches I played in PvE had NPC bots that were better than actual players and smoked my entire team lol.

Free full copy of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin for PC (Steam). store.na.square-enix.com/product/281196/hitman-2-silent-assassin-pc-downloadAdd the game to your cart and then on the checkout screen enter "FreeSilentAssassin" in the promo code box and it will make the game free. It will give you a Steam code to unlock it so obviously you need to use Steam to get this. I tried it myself and it worked. Only valid until 11/29 so get it fast if you want it.

Oh cool, another Alienware giveaway. Good stuff.

Also, EA is giving away Jade Empire, the Bioware (Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Neverwinter Nights) title that very few people played. This is through EA's Origin loader's "on the house" initiative, where they give away a free classic game every few months.

The one franchise Bioware should be pursuing, but they never did follow.
It's a great game. It's fairly short but I had much more fun with it than with any DA game.

Hesitated on posting this here since it has limited keys available, but STO is giving away T6 Valiant class starships (it's the T6 Defiant) through several partners. Both places require different things to have a shot at them, but I'll put them up anyway and let you all decide if it's worth your time to try to get one. First: www.trektoday.com/content/2015/12/star-trek-online-new-dawn-code-giveaway/Requires you to email the guy. So that means giving out your email addy. Might not be an option for some so I feel I need to put that right up front. Second: www.mmorpg.com/mobile/news.cfm?read=37610&game=352&ismb=1Requires you to leave a comment on the page. Note that both of them are NOT guaranteed to get the code. It's a lottery drawing to get the ship and technically not a giveaway in the same fashion of the ones I normally post. I'll also note that I did not enter into any of these. I have no need for the ship and felt it better to leave it to those who do.

6th Anniversary already? It really doesn't seem like last year's giveaways were that long ago. What do you think the big item at the end of it will be this time?

A T5 ship with an upgrade token would be my best guess as that's what they did for the last giveaway. That was the Excelsior retrofit, Ar'kif retrofit, and uh...uhh.......damn I forget what the KDF got. Since T5 hasn't been top tier for some time now, there's a bunch of nice ships there for them to give away for free. I can't imagine it being a T6 as we're getting a free T6 Krenim sci ship.
Personally I hope it's the T5 MVAM. Love the Hestia but I'm not spending $55 for the whole setup. But if they give me the MVAM, then I'd be extremely tempted to throw down for the Hestia. Actually...that's a pretty good hook for ship sales. Give away the T5s for free so that people go buy the T6s. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Unless it's the MVAM and Hestia. Then I feel pretty good about it. >.>
