QUOTE(talexeh @ Aug 15 2011, 08:47 PM) Sigh... sometimes I really pity these digital distributors. If they sell the game expensive, gamers go rage. If they sell the game cheap, gamers still go rage.  It's not about that, they should sell it cheap from the start.  Not cheat the first blood!

Did you go rage if your local hypermarket sell toilet-paper RM5 cheaper a day after you bought a packet for your own usage? Most of the time, game prices are determined by the developer / publisher, not these digital distributors.

New release: RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Triple Thrill PackQUOTE RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Triple Thrill Pack contains the original game and all of the expansion packs. “An isometric theme-park managerial simulation,” is how an encyclopedia would describe Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, but it is so much more. Improving on the last installment of Roller Coaster Tycoon, the sequel addresses the handful of the quirks and issues one could have playing the predecessor a theme park manager / roller coaster designer, build and manage a huge amusement park and fill it with various rides and attractions. Add rides and amusements of every kind you can imagine like classic go-karts, bumper cars, or ferris wheels, but the emphasis is on the mountainous roller coasters gracefully shadowing the valleys of hot dog stands and restrooms! Both of the expansion packs expand the range of scenarios, continents, rides and landmarks (such as Eiffel Tower, Big Ben or the Great Chinese Wall). On top of that, for all of the theme park regulars Six Flags licensed the game to include scenarios based on their real parks (Magic Mountain, Great Adventure, and Over Texas), and some of its famous rides.
Pick up RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Triple Thrill Pack DRM-free for only $9.99 and build the ride of your dreams!
RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Triple Thrill Pack includes: RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, Wacky Worlds, Time Twister. Source: Good Old Games

SEGA's "reinvention of classic" IP is for "next three-five years"QUOTE President Mike Hayes of SEGA West has affirmed they'll keep 'reviewing' what IP there is in their back catalogue to see if it would survive a revival today.
It doesn't always work out, like Golden Axe on Xbox 360 and PS3, he notes. Fans will "continue to see a reinvention" of their classic IP for years.
"We constantly review the IP we’ve got in the locker because that’s one of Sega’s big advantages,” revealed SEGA West boss, Mike Hayes.
“And when we bring it out and do it properly, like re-imagine Sonic or doing Sega Rally Arcade Online and stuff like that, we have success. Some of it when we try and do it, like Golden Axe on PS3 and 360, it didn’t do so well."
"So we carefully look at each IP and every month, we review the locker of IP and think, ‘how could we release those and if so, what are we going to? Will it be a big game, digital, free-to-play?’ We constantly look at it. What I can say is that you will continue to see a reinvention of classic Sega IP coming to various platforms over the next three-five years.”
Hayes calls it a "cornerstone of our strategy," and SEGA has Shinobi coming to Nintendo 3DS. “Shinobi on 3DS is a good example and some of the digital games we’re releasing are good examples, like the Golden Axe redeux and stuff like that. So you’ll see more of it, but we literally look at it all the time," said Hayes. Sorry, "no plans for Shenmue City.”
Have SEGA revived something of their past you couldn't miss out on? Source: Strategy Informer

QUOTE(kianweic @ Aug 14 2011, 12:31 PM) And Dungeon Keeper 2 as well as Alien crossfire expansion pack for Alpha Centauri. Is it your birthday or something? I'm asking 'coz GOG.com just got your wish granted! New release: Dungeon Keeper 2QUOTE The Evil is back! Thanks to the sequel to the acclaimed Dungeon Keeper you can be even nastier. Dungeon Keeper 2 is Bullfrog’s second take on the masterpiece blend of real-time strategy with elements of sim, RPG and first person action game. Once again you take the role of the main Bad Guy. You have to build an underground empire, set deadly traps, recruit armies of brainless minions, and show the good-natured (bleh!) heroes where their place is: six feet under! And with even greater selection of traps and monsters it's now easier than ever. So train your army well (or slap them into submission) to expand your evil empire from the undergrounds to the realms above. Source: http://www.gog.com/en/news/new_release_dungeon_keeper_2
