Download Free Computer Games…

...right from NVIDIA! I am sure that thousands of people are looking to download free computer games, but too many of them end up with...well, not-so-legal downloads, and of those, a very large number are also infected with various viruses. If we look at this whole matter and say the truth and nothing but the truth, there are only a few free computer games really worth your time. Don't get me wrong - I've seen a lot of promising ones, but most of them have been in the "eternal Beta stage" for a few years, and then simply faded away. The good part is that, when the battle for hardware supremacy enters the scene, providing free games for download turns into something really easy to do for the big ones, as it just happened with NVIDIA on Tuesday...

...when they announced a bunch of free computer games, all available for free download! Obviously, this is not something done only because NVIDIA loves its customers so much, but because Microsoft agreed to support the Havok phsyics technology in its upcoming games, pushing NVIDIA aside, if I can say it this way.

As I was expecting, this is not just general computer software - most of the applications available for free download are optimized for NVIDIA's PhysX technology, and the free applications pack comes at the same time as a free trial of Badaboom, a little video transcoder that used the CUDA technology of the GeForce 8-series GPUs, cutting the time necessary for transcoding a video file by up to 18 times, as Elemental Technologies claims.

Here's the list of goodies NVIDIA has for us:

- "Warmonger, a full free game. Destroy walls, floors, and whole buildings to open up new paths or close existing ones. Destructive power is more than eye candy here—it's a tactical weapon in this ground-breaking action game.

- Unreal Tournament 3 PhysX Mod Pack—includes three maps with amazing effects that fundamentally change the gameplay (requires full version of Unreal Tournament 3)

- A sneak peek at the upcoming Nurien social networking service, based on the Unreal Engine 3 (with built-in benchmark)

- A sneak peek at the upcoming game Metal Knight Zero (with built-in benchmark)

- All new Nvidia 'The Great Kulu' tech demo that showcases the use of PhysX soft bodies in a real game play environment

- All new Nvidia 'Fluid' tech demo—a simulation of realistic fluid effects with a variety of liquids."

These being said, get ready to download free computer games, the right way. Good luck!
