Free-to-play PC Gaming Guide

Hawken

An online Mech game from Adhesive Games, is already shaping up to be amazing, you can view a video of the game play here.  Due to be released in December as a Free-to-Play Mech-em-up MMO “Hawken” is now accepting beta signups on it’s official website.

The first thing you notice about this game though is the graphics, for a game which is essentially an Indie game being developed by a small team, everything about the game looks absolutely stunning and this is deffinately one to watch out for later in the year, of course there is also Mech Warrior Online coming this year, but surely there will only be room for one Mech MMO and I’m putting my money on Hawken.

Warface

When I think of Crytek, the first two things that pop into my head are graphics and quality, with the two ground breaking Crysis games under their belt and the stunning CryEngine 3 never failing to wow gamers, it seems amazing that they would take a free-to-play approach when it comes to their next title.  Warface will be an online FPS with a slightly futuristic setting, something they have experience in creating as we know from Crysis, built upon the CryEngine 3 technology which we can assume means the graphics, physics and AI will be best in class examples.

Crytek promises us “dramatic multiplayer co-op missions, a full set of class based PVP” when this game launches for PC, I expect this title to blow all other FPS free-to-play games back to 1999 upon launch and it’s definitely one title you should be looking out for.

Ghost Recon: Online

The Ghost Recon francise is pretty much a byword for tactical shooter, with it’s strong blend of future technology, realistic game play, stunning AI and Physics and team based game play, I wouldn’t expect anything less from their next title GR: Online, ok so their are no shortage of free-to-play shooters on the market, but for those who prefer tactics to run and gun gameplay, there are few games that do it better than Ghost Recon.

It’s already shaping up to be pretty special and is due to launch later this year, or you could try your hand at applying for the beta here.
