Gigabyte Technology, together with official South African distributor Rectron, has introduced two games, Thief: Deadly Shadows from Eidos, and Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising from NovaLogic, which are bundled with selected NVIDIA-based and ATI-based graphics accelerators.
NVIDIA`s GeForce 6800, FX 5900, FX 5700, PCX 5900, PCX 5750 series, and ATI`s X800, X600, X300 series graphics accelerator cards now all feature the abovementioned games, at no extra cost involved.
Stealth game, Thief: Deadly Shadows consistently ranks on this year`s game popularity charts, with an average review score of 85% based on over 30 reviews as listed on Gamerankings.com. NovaLogic`s Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising is a new multiplayer game that recently set a new world record for the most simultaneous players in an online first person shooter game.
"These bundled games not only add extra buying incentive to already feature-rich offerings from Gigabyte, but also enable gamers to experience first-hand the strength of the NVIDA and ATI-based graphics accelerators," comments Reon Coetzee, marketing manager of Rectron.
Both bundled games support the latest Microsoft DirectX 9.X application to give users the best possible gaming experience with graphics, sound, music and 3D animation.
"Deadly Shadows" brings back the original premier stealth experience. You are Garrett, Master Thief, rarely seen and never caught. Darkness is your weapon, moving silently through the shadows, sneaking past any guard, picking any lock, and breaking into the most ingeniously secured places. Brought to you on a high quality DVD-ROM format, with state of the art dynamic lighting and shadow effects adds a new depth of realism and tension to the game experience.
With NovaLogic`s "Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising" the missions are dangerous, the threat is real. Play as either a member of a Joint Force and neutralise the threat, or fight for independence as a well armed separatist. The choice is yours!
