Why is it called "Rebellion Bullseye?"

edit: oh. because the developer is Rebellion. =\

I'm an idiot.

New Release: Alan Wake

$15 instead of regular $30 price for a week.

(also includes the DLC)

GO GET IT!!! :D

[der_ketzer]

Isn't that a Steamworks title normally (requires Steam)?
Also looking back at it I wouldn't really recommend it.

[Vainamoinen]

Yup, originally on Steam, now DRM-free. I might give it a try - not that many 3rd person games around these days...

It's interesting how GOG manages to finally get some more recent games (including "Assassin's Creed" even).

[RetroVortex]

From GOGs facebook:

Alan Wake's American Nightmare will be available for pre-orders tomorrow!
The game will be available 10% off for $17.99, but if you purchased Alan Wake on GOG.com, the second part is 25% off--that's $14.99 for a game you are not allowed to miss.

EDIT: Either way, it looks like Alan Wake + American Nightmare works out about the same on GOG and Steam. (For the UK at least!)
(Save on core game on GOG, but American Nightmare is a little cheaper on Steam)

So essentially its DRM-Free GOG version vs Steam version.

ooooohh... thats a toughie for some.
(Not for me. Mind already made up!)

EDIT 2: Deal is up, and its price matching Steam.
(Which makes it the best deal! :D)

GOG Wins.

[Farlander]

It's interesting how GOG manages to finally get some more recent games (including "Assassin's Creed" even).

I wonder if GoG will get the later Assassin's Creed games, because the first one is the only one from the series that didn't have Ubi's proprietary DRM thingie.

[Vainamoinen]

I wonder if GoG will get the later Assassin's Creed games, because the first one is the only one from the series that didn't have Ubi's proprietary DRM thingie.

Yes, yes, yes. If GOG starts picking up Ubisoft franchises only five years after their original release, there might be an itty bitty chance left that one day I'll play "Beyond Good & Evil 2" (as of now announced to be "in full production" again - for future CONSOLES though).

I'm still not sure whether I'll give the original Assassin's Creed a shot. The collecting in this game seems to be very limited, and when you collect all the irrelevant stuff, the internet tells me you get "an achievement". Ah, the ugly insubstantial cancer of consolification. :rolleyes:

Ah well, let's wait for a Sale. After all, that's what this thread is for. :D

This is one of those awesome GOG sales! Going to buy it as wel speak! :)

[Farlander]

I'm still not sure whether I'll give the original Assassin's Creed a shot.

The original Assassin's Creed... well, technically speaking, the design of the first AC is kinda flawed. Perhaps even REALLY flawed. In that regards, the next games of the series are a lot better. But it's a different experience, and there's something missing in the sequels that was present in the first AC, and... I'm a fan of the series since the original game was released (despite its flaws), but I still miss that elusive 'something' that was present in the first game. It's hard to define what things are those exactly, but... for example, the first AC is the only game in the series that you can actually normally complete with the HUD totally off (and that's a really awesome experience, in my opinion). You can't do that in AC2/ACB/ACR because you go 'and now where the **** do I need to go?' very often if the HUD's off... and stuff like that.

[Gibbeynator]

Today's releases are Zeus + Poseidon (http://www.gog.com/news/release_zeus_and_poseidon_bundle), a strategy game, and a little known RPG adventure game called Quest for Glory (http://www.gog.com/news/release_quest_for_glory_i_v).

Correction: Quest for Glory I-V
(Its a series)

The Zeus & Poseidon bundle is not two games, but Zeus and its expansion Poseidon.

(Just thought I'd clarify a few things)

Needless to say I grabbed the Quest for Glory bundle to see what everyone keeps raving about! XD

[Farlander]

Holy **** quest for glory on gog!!!!!!! Finally!!!!

[MusicallyInspired]

Also, the new QFG collection on GoG comes with the original and remake of QFG1, unlike all the other Sierra adventure collections on Steam and GoG, which include only one or the other.

"Resonance" looks interesting, but the "retro-pixel-style" really isn't attractive to me. Why do this when with the least bit of effort, it could be done far better?

Might give this a try, though!

[GaryCXJk]

It's because Dave Gilbert ran a poll back when Blackwell Convergence was in development concerning the portraits (either that or Blackwell Deception), and people prefered the pixelly style.

[ne_zavarj]

New release :

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/dreamfall_the_longest_journey)

[Vainamoinen]

Noticed, and already reviewed this morning. ;)

In today's GOG update, we have the Pharaoh + Cleopatra (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/pharaoh_cleopatra) bundle, to compliment the Zeus + Poseidon bundle from a couple weeks ago. And, to follow that up, we have... absolutely nothing. Only one release today folks.

The Blackwell Bundle (http://www.gog.com/news/release_blackwell_bundle), 4 adventure games for $9.99

[Chyron8472]

The Blackwell Bundle is more akin to a TTG season than a bundle of separate games, but they're still good, and I recommend them.

[GaryCXJk]

Holy crap, gog has the Blackwell bundle!?

INSTA-BUY!

EDIT: Or I'll just wait until I get the money on my Paypal account...

EDIT2: Holy crap, ALL FOUR OSTs!?

EDIT3: I was weak...

[Farlander]

Yeah, that's why I have quite a lot of stuff both on GoG and Steam. First a game's released on Steam, I buy it, then it's released on GoG, I see the extras, I buy it again.

[ne_zavarj]

New release ( pre-order ) :

Tiny and Big: Grandpa’s Leftovers (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/tiny_and_big_grandpas_leftovers)

New release ( pre-order ) :

Tiny and Big: Grandpa’s Leftovers (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/tiny_and_big_grandpas_leftovers)

Never heard of it .That would be because it's a brand new game by a company no-one's ever heard of.

Good thing the site's not actually called 'Good OLD Games' any more, isn't it?

[der_ketzer]

Tomb Raider 1+2+3 (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/tomb_raider_123)

So Tomb Raider. Those 3 games had "Director's Cut"-version with additional levels. Are these included?
Also: there is a mod that adds the PS1-Music to the first game. I guess this one isn't included as well. :(

And if it was a fan-mod, then of course it won't be included. But then again there's nothing to stop you from adding it yourself :)

I wouldn't say of course. Didn't they include fan-mods for one of the Thief games? Or some game... I don't remember which... Well, if they didn't, they at least gave link to that, so... They kinda include that stuff :D

I guess I'll say something as they are ACTUALLY having a sale. 50% off Ubisoft this weekend. Beyond, Rayman, AC and whatforth.

Since I was raised on 3 digit mathematical representation, I'll point out that it's technically a 49.9% sale.

[Vainamoinen]

Anyone who has not yet experienced Beyond Good & Evil, PLEASE don't miss it.

[der_ketzer]

Anyone who has not yet experienced Beyond Good & Evil, PLEASE don't miss it.

I must agree with Vainmoinen on this point. This game is a must play.

[Gibbeynator]

EA has released the Worlds of Ultima games, both Savage Empire (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/worlds_of_ultima_the_savage_empire) and Martian Dreams (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/ultima_worlds_of_adventure_2_martian_dreams), for the low, low price of free. And there's a special announcement coming in just a little over an hour. Hopefully it's not "EA is pulling all of their games from our service and launching Origin Classics, selling the same games that we sold, but they need Origin to run."

[Hayden]

Agreed. 'Beyond Good & Evil' is one of the greatest pieces of art and fiction I have ever experienced.

[Woodsyblue]

That sounds like something EA would do.

That really is pretty cool. Plus, there's no real loser, since both get discounted whichever wins. Awesome.

[MusicallyInspired]

EA owns Myst? I thought Ubisoft did. Or does EA own Ubisoft these days?

[Farlander]

It doesn't. The Summer promo (i.e. the special announcement) is GOG's thing, not EA's (although if there will be an EA game in it, I guess it kinda makes it partially EA's). What I'm saying that it encompasses all publishers.

[Gman5852]

Day 1's winner was Myst. There is no justice in the world. It wasn't even realMyst! Gah!

Day 2 is the Alone in the Dark trilogy (the first three games) vs. Fahrenheit (aka Indigo Prophecy).

I've been playing the new "Tiny & Big" GOG game for an hour right now, and it just fails to entertain me. Also, the nonexistent save system is a real nuisance. Casual players be damned...

Maybe tomorrow. ;)

[Secret Fawful]

Alone in the Dark is a masterpiece. Peeps have no taste. Also pick up Worlds of Ultima 1 and 2 if you haven't already. They're fabulous and I wish their settings would see a modern RPG redo.

[Gibbeynator]

Yes it was.

But it wasn't given away free. You still had to buy it, but it was $0.00.

I personally love the game. The checkpoint system really sucks though. Just save whenever I pick up an item or crush one of the mole-thingies. Aaaaaargh.
Also: after 100 minutes in level 1 I'd actually like to know where the damned 4th stone is. :D

[Darth Marsden]

Day 2's winner was Fahrenheit / Indigo Prophecy. Because after all - why get three great games when you could just get the one above-average one instead?

Day 3 is Serious Sam: The Second Encounter vs Postal 2.

Second attempt today, disappointed again unfortunately. It's a nice game somehow, but I already mentioned the save system - and have now stumbled over this arcade machine mini game. Showed me a pattern to recreate once, for about 2 seconds. Consequently, I failed immediately, tried to die to restart (because, of course!, you don't get a second chance), and that didn't work. That's just sloppy design.

Game gets a third chance however. Hey, I'm a giver! :D

[der_ketzer]

(because, of course!, you don't get a second chance), and that didn't work. That's just sloppy design.


Okay. Well:
1. the patern is on the wall to your left (and to your right).
2. you can always just leave the room through the door for loosers behind you.
3. you can retry as many times as you wish by pressing the reset button. Default "O" (not zero)

(took me about 10 tries to get it right)

Bad points so far: Save system. Getting caught in the corners of the 1st level, unable to get out.

Edit: Found all four Rocks, the arcade, both tapes, the bullzeye achievement and the god on Level 1 now.

[Secret Fawful]

Screw that noise, man. Get Resonance.

[GaryCXJk]

Already got it, although I have yet to install it. Too busy working on my own projects to be playing games.

Day 3's winner was Postal 2 Complete. A well-deserved victory, Postal 2 was awesome (the add-on less so, but that's only because you couldn't be a goddamn pansy-ass pacifist).

Day 4 is the original Gothic vs. Arx Fatalis.

Day 4's winner was Arx Fatalis . ( second place : Gothic )

Day 6 : UFO: Afterlight vs Jagged Alliance 2

[Gibbeynator]

It's understandable that The Last Express won by a landslide. Seriously, raise your hand if you DON'T have a copy of Broken Sword from GOG.

Arx Fatalis doesn't even work well on my Windows 7. And I have Broken Sword Directors Cut for GBA

Either way the deals for BS and TLE are fantastic. Just a difference of $1.20.

A combination of Strong pound, money not used in other areas so much, a lot of money saved by commuting at uni, and getting most things when they are on sale.
Once this GOG sale ends I should a break. It's not as if I'm short of materials...

Play the Feeble files.I have no idea why it has such mixed reviews on the site. It's so good. Don't know about the English version though. This is one of the few games that has a really good German version.

[Darth Marsden]

The problem I have with The Feeble Files (which I own on disc, so nya) is that the puzzles can be rather random. A good example is having to constantly use a broken vending machine so you get angry and hit it, which means your character feels the need to confess his 'sin', which allows you to enter a previously inaccessible confession booth. Not a terrible game, but there's too many puzzles like that for me to really get into it.

The main problem I have with the game is a certain arcade machine. But it also has Robert Llewellyn voicing the Feeble so that's a big plus!

Day 6's winner was Jagged Alliance 2 - aka: the last one that was good. Worthy victor.

Day 7 is Sacred Gold vs. Divine Divinity.

Day 7's winner is Divine Divinity .
Day 8 : B-17 Flying Fortress vs Red Baron

[Gibbeynator]

So, today on GOG, the releases are from some unknown adventure game developer called Telltale Games. They've got the first (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/sam_max_save_the_world) and second (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/sam_max_beyond_time_and_space) seasons of Sam and Max, as well as Tales of Monkey Island (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/tales_of_monkey_island). All come with the usual extras, including the soundtracks for Sam and Max... and we don't get those?

[RetroVortex]

Wowzers!

Telltale Games comes to GOG!

Sam and Max Season 1 and 2 for $11.99 a piece! (or $30 normally since they are 60% off)

And Tales of Monkey Island for $13.99 (or $35 normally since its also 60% off)

I already own these so its moot for me, but hey, if you don't have them, you have no excuse now! XD

EDIT: Got ninja'd! XD

Also it would be very nice if a certain website could, you know, match the extras for these releases *wink* *wink*

[Störtebeker]

Any chances to see the games also drm-free here. I mean, the first step is done...

[ne_zavarj]

Day 8's winner is Red Baron .
Day 9: Realms of Arkania 3 vs Septerra Core

[Rather Dashing]

As far as I'm aware, this is the only way to buy the Seasons 1 and 2 soundtacks at this time. That makes these very much worth the glance, because the soundtracks for Seasons 1 and 2 are of amazing quality. Not only is the in-game music excellent, and not only is the music in the soundtrack not somewhat overly compressed like it is in-game, but the arrangements for the soundtrack are actually different than the ones in-game! They're actually arranged to be listened to, and they're actually really really nice.

[Laserschwert]

They're using my fan artwork for the "Tales" web header... first Amazon, now GoG... :D

[Gonchi]

So can we still pick up the DVDs for S&H costs if we buy on GOG? That'd be cool.

[Johro]

No. At last I'm sure you can't. Telltale never combined their deals with Steam, I don't think they're going to start for GOG.

[Gonchi]

That's disappointing then.

[Farlander]

That's business. TellTale's got to have perks for those who bought directly from them, otherwise a lot of people would use just Steam (and GOG with the new announcement) instead - which means a sales cut.

[der_ketzer]

You are getting everything that is on those disks though.

Wow I just realized how much I used the word "actually" in that post. Shameful.

[Darth Marsden]

[Vainamoinen]

Show him, Laserschwert (http://laserschwert.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d3koz0c).

[Foxhack]

You mean the soundtracks were never reprinted? I wanted to buy them last Christmas. :\

[der_ketzer]

A shame. Glad I got them years ago.

[Tjibbbe]

Yeah, it'd be cool if we could get digital versions of all the soundtracks and developer commentaries on here as well. I have all the dvd's and soundtracks Telltale ever released, but it'd be nice to have digital versions as well (especially for those games that never got a physical dvd/soundtrack release). They did it for Jurassic Park, so maybe other games will have that as well in the future?

Also, a question for anyone from Telltale who might be reading this: some months ago Dan Conners was talking about a big redesign for the Telltale website. Is this still planned? I half-assumed the update to bring stuff like a better organized 'my games'-page, with a section for soundtracks and commentaries and maybe even an achievement-system (although that last one might be a bit unnecessary for a company focused on story games).

[ne_zavarj]

Day 9 : winner is Septerra Core .
Day 10 : Syberia vs The Longest Journey

[Darth Marsden]

Link (http://www.gog.com/en/page/2012_summer_promo), just in case anyone needs it.

As for who I want to win... my placing of Syberia in the Games That SHOULD Be Forgotten thread is a minor clue.

[MusicallyInspired]

Agreed.

Sooooo, I take it we should vote for Syberia then.

[Banaang]

Geneforge 1-5 (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/geneforge_15)
I've been a fan of Jeff Vogel's games for about 15 years, since I played an Exile 3 demo in 1997, that was about 1/3 of the full game, compared to the couple of hours game play that other demos were providing at that time.

You get all 5 games for $9.99 (-33% off for now), compared to £16.99 (about $26?) on Steam.

They were originally $20+ for each game, but Steam/Gog have allowed them to price their more recent games much lower + still make a living.

[Vainamoinen]

Oh fuhh, TLJ english for 3,99$. I never played the English version... 22 hours to decide. I hate that. I want to pay for games when I want to play them immediately. Well, at least it doesn't feel like Kickstarter. :D

[Gibbeynator]

I guess Geneforge 5 is new enough for them to be able to charge 15 bucks. I got a little freaked out when the regular price was 15, when it had a release date of 2001.

[RetroVortex]

I guess Geneforge 5 is new enough for them to be able to charge 15 bucks. I got a little freaked out when the regular price was 15, when it had a release date of 2001.

Yup.

The last game came out in 2009.

If anything, they should fix that date to reflect the latest game in my opinion!

(Or have a 2001-2009 date or something...)

I own only the 5th one, and I haven't played it that much, (partly lazyness, partly the activation process of the DRM'ed version), but I thought I'd get the set.

Playing them in order might make me invest more time into them.
(Buuuuuttt.. thats a long shot, since I only mostly play portables at the moment...)

[Darth Marsden]

Day 9's winner was The Longest Journey. A victory for good taste! Vainamoinen, BUY IT.

Day 10's a battle between Lords of the Realm SE and Stronghold Crusader.

Cast your vote! (http://www.gog.com/en/page/2012_summer_promo)

[Gibbeynator]

I voted for Lords of the Realm, because I figured there's no way it could win. I'm still holding out hope that one of the sales will be for Populous: The Beginning.

[Vainamoinen]

[Terpor]

So Telltale finally decided to jump on GOG, but i nearly own all of the Telltale games on this site and can i at least get DRM-Free versions of the games i have bought from this site or do i have do rely or "another" method to keep my games DRM-Free?

[Darth Marsden]

If you already own the games direct from Telltale, you'll have to buy them again through GOG to get these DRM-free ones. Otherwise no-one'd make any money and there'd be no point in doing it.

[Johro]

...and the soundtracks to the Sam & Max games!

[Gibbeynator]

Well, for now. I mean, there's nothing stopping either company from working out a deal to hand out backup copies to legitimate purchasers.

That'd be cool, if more companies than just CD Projekt Red let you redeem your key through GOG for a backup copy. It'd probably just a pipe dream, but it'd still be cool.

[GaryCXJk]

Well, I bought a second copy of the Blackwell series on GOG, just for the soundtracks. So yeah.

[ted12]

I grabbed TLJ yesterday evening and I am loving it.

[ne_zavarj]

Day 12 : Winner The Whispered World
Day 13 : Two Worlds vs The Witcher EE

[Vainamoinen]

I'd love to play the Whispered World again. But I paid full price back then for a retail version that was ridiculously bugged, had TWO ridiculously bugged copy protections and crashed with a frequency previously unknown to man. Patches were had, none of them repaired anything. I think Daedalic still owes me a functioning game. No way am I going to buy this AGAIN, giving them even more money for not patching their game.

[Darth Marsden]

Day 12 : Winner The Whispered World
Day 13 : Two Worlds vs The Witcher EENo no no, that's boring! If you're gonna do this, do it with style! With flair! With italics!

:p

More seriously, I find it immensely helpful to add a link (http://www.gog.com/en/page/2012_summer_promo) each time I post the day's battle. Means I don't have to keep searching through the thread for one.

I already own both Two Worlds and The Witcher. Don't know which one to pick! Thoughts?

[Gibbeynator]

Two Worlds is winning, despite the fact it sucks. But I guess that's what happens when GOG just gave away The Witcher for free on their service twice.

The two Sam and Max seasons, though really I just meant Season Two specifically. Are you trying to tell me you've run some of your poster magic on that art?

[Chyron8472]

This will NEVER happen. Stop requesting it.:mad:Why?

I haven't mentioned this in a long time, and it's a perfectly reasonable (and probably easy to implement) feature. It's not my fault if TTG can't be bothered with it.


Oh, and while I'm bothering you with asking for features that won't happen, I might as well say that I wish GOG's TOMI had the Earl Boen version of Narwhal.

There were posters? I know that the retail release of S1 had a poster of the Highway Surfing print, but other than that...

Telltale used to sell prints of the Steve Purcell cover art for Sam and Max seasons 1 and 2. Like so:

http://i.imgur.com/w4Gn8.jpg

I own the Season One print, but missed out on the second season's.

[Laserschwert]

Oh you mean the prints... of course I know about them (and own them). But a poster isn't the same as an art print, so I was confused.

[Vainamoinen]

I really wanted the poster to Season 1... and missed it... there also was an art print of it?!?

[Laserschwert]

There was an art print of Purcell's DVD artwork... you have been to my place before ;)

http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/6906/pr2f.jpg

And there was this poster that also came with the German retail box (which was also sold as a print - sans text - by Telltale):

The German retail box poster is right in front of me. That was how I started out, as my internet connection at the time would have never been able to download an entire episode. ;)

...you playin' the guitar?

[Laserschwert]

...you playin' the guitar?Only a bit.

But I remember you actually have NOT been to my place - last year you had to catch your train, so you couldn't come to my place with Mark (Darin), Majus and Mermaid.

I wanted to catch that train - only alternative would have been to crash at your place, and I wouldn't even want to ask/force that idea on you because I was somewhat of a stranger after all. I cursed myself for missing that ToMI session with Mark though, I really did.

Also: I derail what I want. Privilege of my rank. Oh wait, it isn't? Well, we're talking about Sam & Max... which is on gog... so that's not derailing. :D

That Season 1 poster and I connected somehow. Not even as "Season 1 poster" - there's no sign of it on the JoWood box after all - but as "just the art", which I first really observed in the appendix of my all-too-battered Surfin' the Highway paperback. That's all I have concerning Sam & Max devotional objects. Damn.

This should be a clear win for Outcast.

[GaryCXJk]

Most definitely Outk-I mean Outcast. Especially if you recently have gotten the bundle that is humble and that is for indie gamers.

[Gibbeynator]

It's funny that these polls go on for as long as they do, since there's usually a clear winner right off the bat. There's no way Psychonauts can win, since it was "pay what you want" about a month or so ago.

[Darth Marsden]

Given how cheap Psychonauts has been on Steam (and GOG? I dunno, not the biggest follower of stuff there), I genuinely think this deserves to go to Outcast. It's an amazingly ambitious game, and even if it's kinda slow paced and repetitive, it definitely needs more exposure.

[Laserschwert]

Whoa, I remember playing Outcast back when it was released (and my PC couldn't handle it at full res). It was one of the most immersive games I've ever played... especially the incredible soundtrack by Lennie Moore and the voice acting (with Cutter getting Bruce Willis' german voice actor - in the German version that is, of course - which made it even more awesome) made this game something really special.

[der_ketzer]

I am really curious what the English version sounds like.

[Vainamoinen]

Got Outcast already, but I just didn't get into that game even with a Hi-Res patch. I understand yesterday's fascination with it and it really feels "open-worldly", but I put it aside after a few hours. :(

[RetroVortex]

I'd also like to mention that GOG has managed to fix hardware acceleration in Dungeon Keeper 2.

I've been playing the first level of it and it appears to work alright.

[GaryCXJk]

I remember having bought Outcast once and never played it again, because of how boring it was.

But still, most already have Psychonaut by now.

Please explain .I believe Angel of Darkness came with something like SecuROM.

Not missing out on much besides bad controls. If you're determined to play it though, there's always the console version. Controls are still bad, but whatever.

[der_ketzer]

Both Chronicles and Angel of Darknes are horrible though.
Chronicles was the first game I ever payed full price for. And I would regret that but the level Editor for TR4 was actually good. Too bad they are bundled.

The second game I ever payed full price for was The Orange Box. And it was the best thing ever.

Simon the Sorcerer 3D

really now...

[ne_zavarj]

really now...I don't understand why that game is on the list instead of The 7th Guest .

[Darth Marsden]

I've played Simon the Sorcerer 3D. I feel... unclean.

One of these days I'm going to do a bunch of reviews about game series that didn't make the leap to 3D. Simon will be on there, as will Earthworm Jim, the original Prince of Persia, and more. One day...

[der_ketzer]

I don't understand why that game is on the list instead of The 7th Guest .

Iirc it uses the same engine as this:

Laziness. Lack of skill. Laziness. Short development time. Laziness. Oh, and laziness.

[corruptbiggins]

Laziness. Lack of skill. Laziness. Short development time. Laziness. Oh, and laziness.

A bit harsh. I'd say most of the blame has to go to the publisher who insisted on it being 3D in the first place, after it had already been designed as a 2D game.

Still, it's better than Simon 4 & 5.

[Gibbeynator]

Awesome adventure games, yet they have nothing from Sierra.

[MusicallyInspired]

What now?

[Secret Fawful]

I like Simon 3D. I wish I could afford a copy. Damn you, Steam.

[Jennifer]

What now?
There's no Sierra adventure games in the "Awesome Adventure Games (http://www.gog.com/en/promo/adventure_games_weekend_promo)" bundle at GOG.com.

There definitely should be. But knowing Activision, I'm sure the executives there aren't exactly jumping at the chance to share revenue as part of a bundle with IP that is not owned by them.

New releases :

The Book of Unwritten Tales (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/the_book_of_unwritten_tales)
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/prince_of_persia_warrior_within)

[Laserschwert]

I can highly recommend "The Book of Unwritten Tales"... one of the best adventure games I've played in the last couple of years. Don't know if the English version holds up regarding writing and voice acting, but the original German version was fantastic in those regards.

[Haggis]

The English version is excellent as well. (Here's my review (http://www.hardydev.com/2011/11/05/the-book-of-unwritten-tales-review/) for anyone interested.)

[Banaang]

Yeah, love the English version voice acting for BoUT too. Glad the game will finally get to be played by more people, since it won several awards in the 2011 AdventureGamers.com annual Aggie awards (http://www.adventuregamers.com/articles/view/18661), but since it was quite hard to get hold of, it doesn't seem to have been played by many people yet.

So, it sounds like one of the upcoming GOG releases is going to be Ultima 9. So, they can put this out, but they're not going to put out the missing Quest games.

Sierra's Quest series? What's missing from GOG.com? They have all the King's Quests, all the Space Quests, all the Police Quests, and all the Quest for Glory games. That's all of them, unless I'm mistaken.

They're missing the official remakes of Space Quest 1 and King's Quest 1, the EGA version of Police Quest 1, and SWAT 4 (your mileage may vary on whether this counts as a PQ game). Also, they don't have Leisure Suit Larry at all.

Multiple versions would be nice, but they're not really necessary. They'd just be added on as extras to the games that are up there anyway.

Leisure Suit Larry isn't owned by Activision, it's owned by Codemasters. That would require a whole new licensing agreement.

Also, note on your first point, Ultima is owned by Electronic Arts (whereas most of the Sierra series are owned by Activision). EA re-releasing the games they own has no bearing on Activision releasing theirs (or GOG.com for that matter).

I love the Blazblue games but I never played any of the Guilty Gears. Anyone know if the PC port is any good?

Also, lol at $10 for Angel of Darkness. A game so bad they tore the franchise away from the developer*!

*Meant to be taken as hyperbole, I am aware of the steady decline of the series up until that point.

Meh .

[Rather Dashing]

Oh hey look! It's DayZ on GOG!

Also, while it's not my cup of tea, Arma II itself should be heavily respected for it's staunch commitment to painstakingly realistic military simulation. People who say "Meh" to Arma II really can't possibly have any idea what they're talking about, it at least deserves detached respect.

[Gibbeynator]

So, tomorrow is allegedly "the day". The day Ultima 9 comes out, and the day that the GOG forums explod into a back and forth of "What's a Paladin?" and "BETRAYAL!".
