The portals connecting the shattered islands of Eo start to collapse. The whole world is in panic and despair.

Spellforce 2: Dragon Storm is a refreshing “RPG meets Fantasy Strategy” combo, in which the RPG elements just enrich the awesome RTS experience. The GOG.com version of Dragon Storm is a stand-alone expansion to the second part of the game.

Chaos reigns over the mythical land of Eo and the Shaikans investigate the problem. Upon closer inspection they reveal ancient ruins of the long forgotten first race to walk the plains of Eo: the Shapers. Once the rulers of the world, the Shapers discovered the Essence of Magic, and the struggle to control the essence led to a civil war and the apparent extinction of their race. Shaikans awaken one of these ancients, the Creator, and now chaos spreads. The only ally the Shaikans can muster is the race that once saved Eo from the Shapers threat the Dragons, exiled long ago. This add-on expands the universe by adding the Sheikan faction, and also adds a new campaign, more loot, spells, and a complex crafting system. Revisit familiar grounds, meet friends from your past adventures in Eo (incl. The Soulbearer or Flink McWinter), and (of course) save the entire world from doom.

Continuing the saga of Police Quest comes SWAT 3, the squad-based tactical first person shooter.

SWAT 3 Tactical Game of The Year Edition is the first installment in the series that completely dropped the Police Quest name, bringing in SWAT founder Daryl F. Gates as primary consultant to ensure that SWAT 3 would be a realistic tactical simulation. The game’s goal was simple, but ambitious: resemble real life tactics and drills as closely as possible.

This game has players use the same equipment available to police officers, including flashbangs, lightsticks, breaching charges and the “opti-wand”—a nifty little camera on a telescopic wand that is the successor to the mirror-on-a-stick. As the leader of a 5-man SWAT team you’ll have to intervene in a lot of different scenarios from regular day to day police activities, like serving search warrants or apprehending a suspect, but as the story progresses you'll find yourself performing higher-stakes operations such as securing an United Nations conference in LA. Be ready to train in SWAT drills like proper room clearance procedures, arresting enemies, and patrolling your fire zones. Pay attention to the RoE so that you never have to wonder if that terrorist you just shot was an authorized or unauthorized use of lethal force.

SWAT 3 isn’t a game about trigger-happy bunch of cops. It emphasizes the life-saving role of the Strategic Weapons and Assault Team. It’s more of an “Arrest them all!” than a “Kill them all!” style of game.

Tactical GOTY Edition includes: 27 missions, new modifications, and an Advanced Tactics CD containing previously unreleased video footage. SWAT3: TGOTY was developed hand-in-hand with the Los Angeles Police Department SWAT unit. This superior edition also has an official mission editor for modders delight

Gearbox Software owned the Blade Runner videogame license for a long while, but ended up not making a game based on the film due to the expense of the game; it would have bankrupted the developer.

According to Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford, "Blade Runner was on (the list). We had it too and we were like, 'No, we can't.' That game would've cost like $40m to make and sold about 600,000 units - and that would have been the end of us.

"There's no rational business model that would have allowed that to make sense," he added. "If we'd made it with a business model that did work, it would not have been the Blade Runner game we all would have wanted."

The game would have even had input from Ridley Scott himself, had the project commenced.

The only game based on the Blade Runner license was a 1997 graphic adventure game of the same name, which had a high replay value due to the game randomizing elements (some of the characters would be human in one game, or a replicant in the other, including the protagonist Ray McCoy.) Sean Young, Brion James, James Hong, Joe Turkel, and William Sanderson reprised their roles in the game as well.

GOG is pointing a double-barreled crossbow of delight at us, with a deep discount on The Longest Journey and the addition of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath. Departing from the regular Oddworld expectations, Stranger's Wrath is a hybrid of third-person action and first-person shooter, seasoned with elements of the Spaghetti Western and Oddworld touches like the "live" critter ammo. The game is available now on GOG for $9.99.

If you'd prefer a sweeping adventure, The Longest Journey is on sale for $3.99. Much like The Neverending Story, we can't vouch for the accuracy of game's title, but it does involve a very long journey, so you'll definitely get your money's worth in this classic point-and-click adventure.

Today we have uncovered a hardcore RTS hidden gem Dark Reign + Expansions is really the true, real RTS you’d want to play. A lot of innovative features were so hardcore that the modern games of today are using the pseudocasual counterparts.

First and foremost the whole setting, the new Hard Sci-Fi world that was created for Dark Reign is unique. You are the lone survivor of the Tograns, a human faction whose homeworld was devoured by a brutal civil war between the Freedom Guard and the Imperium. Now you have to be victorious in battle simulations of some of the famous battles between those two. If you prove yourself, you’ll get a chance to use an advanced probe launcher to go back in time and save the Togran’s leader and scientist Alpheus Togra, thus saving the whole civilization. The expansion pack adds a second campaign involving the Imperium, a rogue AI, and a secret research facility

Dark Reign is full of innovations, it’s the one of the first RTS games to use fully 3D models and terrain that impact physics and damage. Fast paced action obliged the design team to drop the Fog of War system and implemented a Line of Sight that changes with the terrain elevation and the landscape. The two sides are totally heterogeneous in terms of design and units, and speaking of the units. To minimise micro-management which can be a chore with this many units and fast paced RTS action a new system was implemented, you can set the general attitude of your individual units. This regulates their rules of engagement and eagerness to fight. Top that with a simple and reliable waypoint system and you get the picture of how deep the gameplay is. All of that is driven by one of the best soundtracks in the history of RTS.

Buy it now only for $3.99 today and check out one of the best RTS games of all time!

Today we’re releasing the last installment of the Zork series. As they say, third time’s a charm, The Grand Inquisitor is the third part of the graphical Zork games and surely the best. By far the best one in terms of being accurate to the original Zork adventures with its surreal, silly humor and the pop culture references that leave you smiling when you encounter them

Zork: Grand Inquisitor is set in the Great Underground Empire where an ex-student of the Magic University takes over the whole country and implements a totalitarian regime banning magic as a whole. The dictator is the titular Grand Inquisitor who seeks to shun magic, shun the appearance of magic, shun everything, and then shun shunning. The Grand Inquisitor takes a unique view of how to shun someone with the aid of “swift totemization” by courtesy of Frobozz Electric, a process that, trust us, you don't want to go through. The people of Quendor need a hero to relieve them from the dictatorial regime! You are AFGNCAAP. "Ageless, Faceless, Gender-Neutral, Culturally-Ambiguous Adventure Person" which happens to be the hero in most of adventure puzzle games, as well as in Infocoms original Zork games. You meet Dungeon Master Dalboz who gives you the quest to find the three legendary artifacts (one of the Cubes of Foundation, the Coconut of Quendor, and the Skull of Yoruk) required to bring back magic and put an end to the Grand Inquisitor's regime.

The graphic side of Zork aged very well and with the use of real actors for its cut-scenes, Z:GI has nothing to be ashamed of. Superb music and ambient sounds would be enough for many games, but Zork: Grand Inquisitor takes things a step further be being one of the first games to offer full closed captioning so the hearing impaired can enjoy the game to the fullest.

According to two registered trademarks, EA could be planning a new game for the Alpha Centauri franchise.

The cult turn-based strategy series hasn't seen a new game since Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri was released for the PC in 1999. In 2009 the EA owned trademark expired, but these newly registered trademarks by EA have sparked speculation from fans that a new title is expected to be announced soon.

The first trademark is for computer game software, the second is for online computer games. Both of these were registered on 1st August in the US, and then later a trademark was filed for Alpha Centauri in Europe on 2nd August.

Fans are speculating that this could be an iPhone game or a new Facebook version, but there's a chance that EA could be planning something PC or console related. What would you take a guess on?

We'll contact EA to see if we can find out more.
