Two more games today, both definitely Good Old Games:

Hitman: Codename 47 for $6
Deus Ex GOTY Edition for $10


Edit: Also of note - Square Enix's addition means the early Tomb Raider games should find their way to GOG. Also, while I'm not 100% sure about who currently owns their rights, I think Thief 1, 2, and 3 may be owned by Square Enix now so they may be added to the GOG library in the future as well.

Today GOG added Thief Gold to their lineup.

So...Thief series. Yep, that's everything.

To borrow from Top:

Oww, my balls. I think I just came a little. etc etc.

Doesn't count unless there's a huge picture taking up 95% of the post.

Like this?

Just merge with Steam already!!



Anyway, since they have Squeidix now, I wonder if they'll get the PC versions of Final Fantasy 7 and 8.

This.

Oh. I guess TIE-Fighter. This thing still needs that.

I don't want GOG merging with Valve; the whole purpose of GOG is DRM-free gaming not Steam DRMed gaming.


And the game GOG still needs is System Shock 2... and KotOR... and Grim Fandango.

Should go without saying, but Thief 2 is on here now as well.

As an aside to my recent Rant Hall thread, I think GOG should get the PC versions of FF7 and FF8 as well. Thief 1, Thief 2 and Deus Ex are all listed as Square Enix published.


Fair enough.

Then I want all of GOG's versions of all of GOGs games on Steam as well them.

I do agree.... and the rest of the series as well. X-Wing and TIE Fighter are without a doubt the finest space combat sims ever produced, games I had many hours of fun in.
I still have my original X-Wing box, and it's even working in DOSBox under Windows 7, but I don't have my own copy of TIE Fighter.

It's weird how this genre has just disappeared. A few weeks ago I've been visiting every hardware and game shop I know of in the area, looking for a decent new joystick (my new PC doesn't have a game port D, to replay some old flying games and maybe try some new ones... didn't find a single one for sale. Not one.

I can name a few you can get off Steam:

SOL: Exodus - picked this one up on sale the other day, haven't played it yet. More arcade-y.

X3: Terran Conflict - this is a dense simulator type of space shooter with trading, economies, factions, etc. Tons of depth.

Evochron Mercenary - probably also a more dense space shooter like X3, but not quite as polished. Only played an hour or so of it.

I actually picked up the X Superbox during the steam sales, it's part of the reason why I was looking for a new joystick. I could get lost in these games for months. I've seen the other 2 games you mentioned and they look interesting. But first I've got to decide which new stick to pick up

Bam, thread derailed.

Today 'Good Old Games' becomes 'GOG.com' and will start offering newer games.

You can now get games like Trine ($10), The Whispered World ($15), and pre-order Legend of Grimrock ($12); coming soon are Darwinia, Machinarium, and Spacechem.

Gah! Just sell your games on Steam already!

EDIT: Wait, I already said that.

I'm pretty happy with this. I love the no DRM part of GoG. And that Legend of Grimrock sounds cool, I haven't played an Eye of the Beholder game in a long time. Between this, Wasteland 2, Baldur's Gate coming out in HD.. it's like all the great games of my past are coming back.

The Whispered World looks interesting

The original Fallout game is free for the next two days!

Interplay sale this weekend. Tons of good old games on sale.

I picked up Earthworm Jim 1 & 2, Shogo, Giants: Citizen Kabuto, and Stonekeep.

Hint:
If you get the Shadow Dagger from the secret panel in the beginning of the game, the early part of the game will be a LOT easier. However, you pay for it in the long run because you end up skilling up too slowly, resulting in the end game being harder.

Also, the Dwarven Rock Thrower is awesome.

GOG have a nice new addition to their catalog, and for the next week it's selling for 50% off:

Alan Wake (includes “The Signal” and “The Writer”)


If its been a while since you've checked out GOG, they've also recently added Splinter Cell and Thief 3.

Steam has the same sale going until Thursday, if you prefer it that way.

Also of note is that the upcoming Alan Wake DLC "American Nightmare" will be released for pre-order on GOG tomorrow and it will be 25% off ($15) for those who buy Alan Wake on GOG. (Steam also has the 25% off deal on the Alan Wake DLC for those buying the original game on Steam).

American Nightmare launches on may 22nd.

I've got Alan Wake in my GOG cart but I'll wait until I find out what GOG's weekend sale will be before pulling the trigger.


Edit: It looks like GOG will sell the American Nightmare DLC for $20 while Steam is selling it for $15, so with the 25% off discount it'll be $3.75 more expensive ($15 vs $11.25) on GOG. I misread the GOG forum - with Steam adding their preorder it appears GOG bumped up theirs and it's selling for $15 normally like at Steam, also with 10% off preorder and another 15% off for owning Alan Wake like Steam.

Free is good, and it's free promo time at GOG. You can add Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire and Ultima: Worlds of Adventure 2 to your GOG account for zero dollars, zero pounds, zero euros, or zero of whatever is your local currency.

They're also starting a 17 day summer promo called 'Battle of the Games' where you get to vote on which of the two games listed that day will get the better discount for the 24 hours following the end of the vote.

No interest in playing either of those games, but what they hell, they're free.

7th Guest > Myst

Just sayin'.

never did beat that. there was one puzzle I got stuck on, don't remember which one it was

I usually get stuck on screen #3 of any game like those.

More new releases at GOG. Telltale Games has signed up with GOG and has released Tales of Monkey Island, Sam & Max Save the World, and Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space.

Until July 3rd they're 60% off, which means $11.99 for each Sam & Max title and $13.99 for Tales of Monkey Island.

Well, those are FORMER Lucasarts properties. I guess that's one step closer to TIE Fighter.

Today's the last (bonus) day of GOG's Battle of the Games sale, and it includes two newly introduced games to GOG:

Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (includes a remake of Escape From Butcher Bay)
Torchlight

They're normally $15 each, but as the last day of the Battle of the Games promo Riddick is selling for $6 and Torchlight for $9 for the next 15 hours and 40 minutes after this posting.

For some reason GOG still have Torchlight and Riddick on sale as of this moment, but this post is to mention that GOG has released To The Moon, a 2011 indie game that was very well received by gamers and critics alike.

Edit: Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Until July 11 at 5:59 AM EDT Legend of Grimrock is selling for half off, $7.49.

I've heard it talked about on a couple different podcasts. It sounds depressing as fuuuuuuuck.

Just watching the trailer can almost make you cry lol.
Yeah, definitely not a game to play while drinking. Not sure if I want to pick it up or not, it looks sad, and apparently there isn't much gameplay to it.

Geeze, another promo. I guess GOG is trying to drain people's wallets before the Steam Summer Sale starts. Today they've announced that for the next 24 hours (until July 12 at 6:59 EDT) Alan Wake and Alan Wake's American Nightmare are selling for 66% off ($15.28 for the pair).

New (old) release, and it's a gem:

Pirates! Gold Plus (includes Sid Meier's Pirates! and Pirates! Gold).

Hmm, I already have the remake on Steam.

GOG is handing out a free game (Realms of Arkania 1 and 2) for filling out their annual survey.

You won't get the game until next week, but free is free and it's a short survey.

Jagged Alliance!

GOG.com is offering a "Pay what you want" promotion for the next week to promote the release of Divinity II: Developer's Cut. A penny or more gets you Divine Divinity, beating the average price adds Beyond Divinity, and paying $15.99 adds Divinity II: Developer's Cut when it launches on GOG on Oct. 18th.

Oh SNAP son, that's an awesome deal. The entire catalog for 35 bucks, or pay what you want for parts of it? Bought the whole thing.

I thought I'd mention GOG's 80% off sale on Telltale Games. The sale lasts until Tuesday, November 13, at 4:59AM GMT.

I enjoyed Tales of Monkey Island (the first three episodes of the game moreso than the last two, but it was still well worth the price when I bought it for more than the $7 it's selling for at the moment), and I've just used the sale to pick up Back to the Future for $5. They also have the Sam & Max games on sale as well as Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures.

While not part of the sale (and not even available at GOG), Telltale Games is also the company behind the Walking Dead game, a game that I have really enjoyed so far (and I'm looking forward to the release of its final episode).

Man, too bad the Walking Dead game isn't a part of it. It's awesome, and I look forward to the last episode. Definitely one of the better games I've played this year.

Just a heads up, the other day I was looking for a game and couldnt find the version I wanted on Steam so I checked out GoG. Thats when I noticed that GoG had cheaper prices than Steam on some things. So always double check people!

Yeah, gamer's gate, desura, GOG and Steam usually have price differences, it's a good idea to shop around.

to make it easier on you, check www.cheapshark.com it aggregates all digital download deals and lists the best ones by company; supremely useful.

Honestly, I'm willing to pay a little more just to have everything running through Steam.

http://www.gog.com/pick_5_pay_10

pick 5 of the games on that page, pay only 10 bucks.

It's basically "Build Your Own Humble Indie Bundle".
