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.

Surprise, surprise! We have one more EA classic that was tucked away, but we decided not to wait with it till the next wave of EA greatness comes by. That's how cool we are

We believe we could end this newspost at the title, as we're pretty sure everyone is familiar with the SimCity franchise. But if you lived the past 20+ years under a rock and somehow you don't know what the fuss is all about let us explain:

SimCity 2000 Special Edition is the second installment, and way superior than its predecessor, of the most popular city building sim series by Maxis. You play the role of the mayor of a new municipality, starting in 1900. Your task is to expand your small village into a bustling metropolis, and manage it so the citizens are happy and willing to live in it. You're responsible for building housing districts and commercial facilities as well as power plants, streets, bus depots, and more. You need to set and raise taxes and allocate the money cleverly so the city grows.

SimCity 2000 introduced many enhancements to the series. First the view has been changed from a top-down to isometric which allows you to fully customize the terrain before you start the new city. Plenty of new types of facilities now include schools, hospitals, zoos, museums, colleges, and even prisons. Thanks to underground layer you can now build subway and utilities like water pipes under the city. Also your city is not the only one on the map, and you have to build links with other municipalities to increase trade and population. Last but not least, prepare yourself and your city for earthquakes, floods, fire, and other disasters like monster invasion, as they do like to happen--and usually at the worst possible time.

If you want to take a break from expanding your city, you can play one of many pre-made scenarios that are included in the special edition of the game. Some of those scenarios are based on real life events, like the 1989 Hurricane Hugo hitting Charleston in South Carolina or the 1991 Oakland firestorm, and some are just made up by the developer as Hollywood being attacked by a giant robot or nuclear power station major meltdown in center of Manhattan!

But that's not all: SimCity 2000 Special Edition on GOG.com also includes the SimCity Urban Renewal Kit which lets you modify the images used in-game to represent various buildings. Now you can create your own basic bitmap representing your childhood house, your school, or your favorite monument. All that and much more is available now for only $5.99.

Only on GOG, a new game release can bring so many memories from back in the days. So who remembers the times of Pentium MMX?

POD Gold also known as Planet of Death is a futuristic racer with a plot. The game takes place in the future on a planet called Io. A mining accident unleashes a deadly virus which threatens the whole planet population. After a massive exodus from the planet, only one seat in the very last rescue spaceship remains. This seat will be taken by the winner of a dangerous race in which you're taking part. Maybe it's not an Oscar winning script but come on, it's a racer In POD it's all about speed - you drive one of 16 turbocharged machines through 32 tracks in full 3D environment, fighting for the top spot. When released, POD was the first game making use of the Pentium MMX technology, and later on, one of the titles with 3D acceleration. Based on this POD was often used as an example of what the computers in the late 90's could do. Today you can check the "hi-end technology of the 90's" and have fun while blasting 300 mph through the futuristic tracks for only $5.99.

Larry Laffer is an icon from the golden era of adventure gaming, but the series' recent appearances have been disappointing. Thankfully, the future is looking better for Larry.

According to EGM, developer Replay Games has obtained the rights to Leisure Suit Larry, and will kick off a revival of the character with an HD remake of the first game, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards. The game will hit on "every platform Replay can figure out how to port it on," like XBLA, PSN, PC, and iOS.

Assuming that the remake performs well enough, the team at Replay has plans to remake the other games in the series, and even create new adventures for the lovable loser Larry.

One of the (many) reasons that the recent Larry games were awful was the lack of participation from series creator Al Lowe. That mistake won't happen again. Replay Games' CEO Paul Trowe has secured Lowe's assistance for the studio's upcoming Larry-related projects. “Al and I are working very closely on this, to make sure every Larry game is the best," says Trowe. "The remake of the original Leisure Suit Larry is going to kick so much ass, the entire world will have to play it standing up. And buy new pants. And a cushion. Seriously, we’re really excited about this.”

Don't make the mistake of assuming that Larry games were all about sex. They were extremely funny, and had clever puzzles to boot. The return of Larry in classic form is great news for gamers.

The remake is set for a release sometime in 2012, which happens to be the series' 25th anniversary.

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)

Okay, so MDK 2 HD, the high definition remake of the Dreamcast classic, obviously didn't make its planned September launch. You're angry, no doubt, but would it help to know that it's actually coming out tomorrow, October 12? Well, good news then, because it is, and it will available exclusively via the Beamdog download service for $15.

Aside from the new HD graphics – which look pretty great, incidentally – the game now features enhanced audio and tweaked difficulty. Specifically, the game's description promises that "now Easy really is Easy, while Hard is BONE CRUSHING!" Check out a new trailer above and peruse some HD comparison screenshots in the gallery below.

I guess you’ve never been to 15th Century Greater Germany, huh? Me neither, but now you have a chance to explore its breadth and depth to the fullest! We present to you the ultimate open world historic RPG: Darklands!

Historically accurate representation of medieval greater Germany lets you go from zero to hero over the course of your adventure. No wizards, elves, dwarfs, or other nonsense “fantasy.” This game is (more or less) realistic in terms of what it throws at you, rather than using the same “Evil wizard wants to take over the world” plot. This is all about gaining fame and becoming a noble medieval hero or a black knight terrorizing the commoners! Superstitions and beliefs of a 15th century greater Germany is what you will be up against while traveling the countryside. Alchemy replaces magic, although there is witchcraft, which those bad cultists use to aid them in their unholy demon summoning rituals.

The character creation process is unique as well. You don’t have to start as an Level 1 Warrior, instead you choose one of six family backgrounds (ranging from a farmer to a noble prince) which affects the initial range of occupations that shape your character as you wish. You can either choose to make a young noble prince, that yearns to become a hero (giving you more time to train him up) or make a team of qualified mercenaries that already are capable in swordsmanship. If you’re not into elaborate character creation you can use the Quickstart option to begin the game with a default set of characters that are just right for everything. Apart from characteristics, your heroes are defined by skills. Skills play a very big role in Darklands, as they’re used for a success/failure check in nearly all actions you will execute in medieval Germany, but don’t fret you train no matter if you succeed or fail a particular task.

Music is based on original tunes from the 15th Century and the graphics are clean, with a notable mention of the watercolour-like background pictures. Combat is real-time/turn-based just like Baldur’s Gate, incorporating a Pause button that you may press at any time so you can order your team around, and the game uses an isometric view to show you the battlefield.

If you’re looking for a little adventure in your life, don’t hesitate and try Darklands: Heroic Role-Playing Adventures In Medieval Germany for $5.99 and immerse yourself in a deep and sophisticated medieval experience!

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.
