Cryptic and Alienware giving away free Star Trek Online goodies
Alienware has partnered with Cryptic Studios to create an interesting promotion designed to draw you back to Star Trek Online. The newly free-to-play sci-fi title is the focus of an item giveaway that features 10 days of subscription time, a 22nd century Enterprise-era uniform, an NX class starship, and an 8-hour XP boost. What's the catch? Well, the deal is restricted to new accounts only and it also requires you to sign up on the Alienware Arena website. Once you've met those requirements, it's as easy as clicking on the big blue "get key" button and copy/pasting the digits to your Cryptic or Perfect World account. As of press time, over 2,200 keys were still available.

Wicked partners with Alienware for Bounty Hounds Online North American launch
Wicked Interactive has partnered with Alienware Arena for the North American launch of Bounty Hounds Online. Players may recognize the game as a sequel to the 2006 PSP title Bounty Hounds. BHO is a free-to-play MMORPG that allows players to delve deeper into the Bounty Hounds universe, which is set centuries in the future after a devastating third World War. Players choose from five different mercenary classes (Trooper, Agent, Bioengineer, Artillery, or Scientist) and select a Mercenary Company to align themselves with. Each mercenary is also given a CTU, or Combat Tactical Unit, which is a robotic pet that assists players in combat. Players are able to build their CTU to their liking in order to further increase its combat acuity. And to round it all out, we have some lovely screenshots in the gallery below and a trailer after the cut. For more information on this sci-fi MMORPG, such as how to get in on the beta test which begins July 29, head on over to the game's official site. %Gallery-128873%
Fallen Earth partners with Alienware, offers exclusive Xenogun
Older gamers in the audience might remember Alienware as a custom-PC manufacturer known for its outlandish case designs prior to being acquired by Dell Computer in 2006. Nowadays, the company is equally (in)famous with MMO players due to the "Alienware is the best" meme that all too often rears its silly head in global chats everywhere. As of today, Fallen Earth players have another reason to get familiar with the company, as Alienware has joined forces with Icarus Studios to offer an exclusive in-game item to wasteland survivors. The item in question is called a Xenogun, and it's "a custom Alienware-branded weapon that comes with a valuable tech manual, allowing players to rework it every ten levels so they never have to leave it behind," according to a new press release. What's the catch? Well, you'll need to sign up for the Alienware Arena gaming portal, a web destination that offers competitive events and exclusive items for a variety of popular games. Read all about it on the official Fallen Earth website.
Alienware offering free Dragon Age shield codes for PC
Ah yes, Dragon Age Origins' storied realm of Thedas, where great warriors and mages do battle against the Demon Spawn, play kings and knights off of each other in political schemes, and register promotional DLC codes for in-game items. What's that? Your heroic Grey Warden hasn't done the last one yet? Here's your chance -- Alienware is giving away some free DLC keys for an in-game shield called the Bulwark of the True King. If you only have the original PC game, it's a tier 5 shield, but apparently if you have the Awakening expansion, it revs up to a Tier 7 item. All you have to do is run over to the Alienware website, create an account in its Arena community (you didn't think it'd be that "free," did you?), and then redeem the code in-game to claim your shield. Note that these keys don't work in the console versions of the game -- Alienware only wants you PC users. But it is a pretty easy way to get a new shield. Much easier than slaying the mad mage of Ferelden or saving the Arl of Redcliffe. [Thanks Wayne!]
