Thank you everyone who helped us achieve the 6 million unique game downloads! You're the greatest, and here's a free Broken Sword for you!

Last week, during CD Projekt Fall 2011 Conference, we've launched a counter on the main page which indicated the number of unique games downloaded at GOG.com. Today that counter hit 6 million unique game downloads, and to celebrate this fact and to thank all of you at GOG.com, together with Revolution Software, we're lowering the price for first part of the acclaimed Broken Sword series to “free"! In order to receive the free copy of Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars free, go to the gamecard and click on “download now”, at which point the game will be added to your game shelf.

The special offer for Broken Sword is valid until October 1, at 7:59 a.m. EDT (11:59 a.m. GMT), so be sure to grab it by then and don’t forget to share the news with all your friends!!!

UPDATE: In addition, we mentioned that the user who will make the 6 millionth download will receive the whole GOG.com catalogue for free! It was not a prank and the user who should start "wrestling" with his virtual shelf full of awesome classics is Dotur who downloaded Icewind Dale 2 exactly on 2011-09-29 at 07:39:43 EDT. Congratulations! We'll send you the gift certificate with all the games from the catalogue.

One of many thing that i like from GoG is the community, it's very matured and helpful. Last week, 7 days before Witcher 2.0 release date there was a user who make give-away for Witcher 2 each day in that period. Each single day there will be 2 first place winners, the prize is copy of Witcher 2 from whichever digital download distributor from winner's choosing. And 2nd place is $12 worth of games from GoG for 4 different user. That mean, each day there will be 6 winners.
And since i already own a copy of Witcher 2, i asked to be enrolled in 2nd place give-away. Yesterday, the last day of the give-away i'm one of 4 lucky persons for 2nd place. The person who make the give-away must be really generous. He spent around $900 just for the give-away. There are plenty of other giveaway and quiz at GoG too. But usually, i have no luck since mostly the there will be only 1 winner.

Many of you in the forums got it right: the awesome game coming exclusively to GOG.com is Little Big Adventure a.k.a. Relentless: Twinsen's Adventure if you played the American version! Brought to you in fully-localized glory, Little Big Adventure is available right now for just $5.99.

You are Twinsen, a Quetch, who are one of four races (Grobos, Rabbibunnies, Spheros, and Quetches) living under two suns on the Twinsun planet. All races coexisted peacefully until the evil Doctor FunFrock discovered how to clone and teleport. He uses these two inventions together to create his very own army which he used to conquer Twinsun by force. Resistance is futile! The only hope is in the mythic Sendell, the benevolent goddess of the planet, who has found a possible hero to help her make the world safe for everyone: a young quetch called Twinsen who has been having the strangest dreams. Unfortunately, in this heavily surveilled society, even dreams are monitored. The evil Dr. FunFrock’s forces have noticed Sendell’s attempt to contact Twinsen via visions while he sleeps, and have arrested the young quetch for his crimes.

For those of you who haven’t played Little Big Adventure, it is primarily an adventure game with clever inventory-based puzzles and captivating conversations with a wide array of characters, but the main focus here is on the action part of the game. The fully 3D character and items model look fantastic, presented in an isometric view while you explore the enormous world. Made up for 11 vast islands with over 120 scenes to jump, run, kick, and talk your way through, Little Big Adventure is definitely a big place to roam. Speaking of which, you can control your hero in four different modes. Normal mode is for walking around and talking to people, Athletic mode grants the ability to run and jump like a parkour maniac, Aggresive mode is the battle mode for maximum damage, and last (but not least!) you can choose Discrete mode in which Twinsen will move stealthily, creeping from shadow to shadow in hiding..

Wait no more! Grab Little Big Adventure for $5.99 with the full exclusive to GOG.com goodies pack (including unreleased design sketches, artworks, and cinematic shots) and embark on the biggest little adventure you’ve ever seen!

Little Big Adventure is in EFIGS which means that it has five different language options:
- English (full voice & text)
- French (full voice & text)
- Italian (text only)
- German (full voice & text)
- Spanish (text only)

Today is an another big day for GOG.com! Broken Sword 4: The Angel of Death is being released and to celebrate this, we have started a promo with the rest of the adventure gaming genre-defining franchise.

You continue to live the life of George Stobbart, who (after his plethora of breathtaking adventures) decided to settle down in a 9 to 5 office job. Being George Stobbart, though, things don’t go that easily for him. Who would have thought that being bail bondsman in a dangerous neighborhood would end up uncovering another ancient mystery and an ominous conspiracy?

During one of his cases George meets up with Anna Maria, a typical femme fatale, who introduces him to an ancient manuscript that was used by Moses to construct the deadly Angel of Death. George, of course, helps the damsel in distress and in typical Stobbart fashion gets into a lot of trouble. Nico Collard also appears in this latest chapter of the Broken Sword franchise, which ultimately makes things more complicated as George has to keep the balance between the two women.

Rendered in full 3D with fixed camera angles, Broken Sword 4: The Angel of Death is returning to its famous roots, utilizing point and click mechanics on top of the keyboard control while adding in a new drag and drop system. Some of the puzzles are action-based but don’t fret, you’ll have enough time to react in those stressful situations. The rest of them are what makes Broken Sword the definitive adventure gaming series it has always been: investigate clues, images, and crack the ancient manuscript to reveal their secrets!

Our version number for this game is v 1.0, but it’s v 1.0 of GOG’s special build which includes all of the patches and updates from all of the previous versions for the perfect gaming experience. We also have full EFIGS (English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish) subtitles and voice overs.

The US version of Broken Sword 4 was called Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game.

All of these seem nice. I am thinking of getting all the Gabriel Knights, Phantasmagorias and Sanitarium. Anyone gonna recommend me something nice? Or are my choices good enough?

Semi-related note, why is it every time I try to load GOG's site, it seems broken? Like all the fonts turned Times New Roman and pictures don't display. Only after refreshing it like 5-10 times would it load properly...

Today you will see a strange message on your computer screen from a mysterious being called the Guardian!

Visit Britannia once more to prove that you are a true champion of the Virtues. GOG.com and EA bring you the Complete Ultima 7 to you for only $5.99!

You are the Avatar, summoned once again to Britannia, the fabled land of the monarch Lord British. When you arrive through the Moongate, you meet with your old friend Iolo. An obscene murder has just shook the town of Trinsic. You learn that a new organization, called the Fellowship, has been growing in numbers. As you investigate the mysterious murder and begin uncovering true motivations of the Fellowship, you’re also haunted by ominous warnings of the enigmatic Guardian.
Ultima 7: The Complete Edition features a complete graphical and control overhaul of the Ultima engine. The oldschool top-down Ultima view has been revamped: now the game fills the whole screen and finally you can control the whole game with a mouse. The vast populated world of NPCs with their own life schedules makes exploring the enormous area of Sosaria an engaging and epic adventure. Ultima 7 is distinguished by the total immersion and freedom in exploring and completing the game. You can pick up everything and interact with every nook and cranny out there. To eat, which is needed for survival, you need to get flour and water, mix them on a table in a bakery, than use the the newly created dough on a fireplace to bake bread. If you’re good at it, the baker might just tip you for your effort!
The tactical combat system of earlier Ultima series games has been replaced with a real-time combat system, where the AI is controlling your team and you, the player are only in control of the Avatar. You advance in experience via Ultima’s familiar level up system where once you have earned a sufficient amount of experience points you automatically gain a level.

Ultima 7: The Complete Edition consists of Ultima 7: The Black Gate, Ultima 7: The Forge of Virtue, Ultima 7: Part Two - Serpent Isle, Ultima 7: Part Two - The Silver Seed all in one package for as low as $5.99!
