Such a pity list, only last position with magnificent Iron Storm save this sad deal.

 

Is Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood worth playing? I heard it's similar to Commandos, which I enjoyed.

 

Its much easier than Commandos and fighting is drawing moves like left and right on the screen with the mouse. I thought it was fun when it was released, and that was a while ago.
For 3 bucks its a nobrainer if you're fan of the genre.

 

I guess I should finally get Syberia 2. Not a ton to get excited about there, though.

 

Sell me on the Syberia games. I like adventure games enough, but what makes them stand out from all the others? Is it the story?

 

More the visual design, I would say. It's been a long time since I played the original though.

 

I've been playing the first one for the first time. It's hard to describe why it feels good. The puzzles are average, and the story is nothing special (at least not yet). There is an aesthetic quality to the whole game that is very attractive. The phrase slow down and small the flowers comes to mind. The game is designed to get the player to do so. There is basically a transition scene between every single screen where you can actually do something. Meanwhile your character is a high powered lawyer who is trapped in a tiny town in the alps. It's one of the best examples of ludo narrative harmony, yet at the same time it can be annoying since most players are used to running through games as fast as possible.

As DalekFlay wrote, it has a great visual design, but it goes deeper than that. It's an entire feel to the game.

The game (so far) is about going back to a simpler, slower time. Which is probably about as apt a theme as a pnc adventure game can have.

It's certainly not a game for everyone, or even all pnc adventure enthusiasts, but it has a very strong appeal to a certain mindset.

I don't know if this helps you.

 

We just added the source code to Conquest: Frontier Wars

 

Also we kind of released Theme Park today

I can only imagine the hell that GOG have invited for their support staff. Carry on, soldiers

 

I can already imagine this system getting abused to hell and back, unless GOG have taken the necessary precautions and put some technological measures in place to ensure that any potential damage is mitigated.

 

I am sure we did, I just don't know all the details because that's out of my area of expertise

But here's a FAQ:

Too bad I generally wait more than 30 days after purchasing a game before actually playing it... I still have games from the summer sale waiting to be played.
Moot point, since everything I've installed worked on the first try so far.

 

Hey guys, we put out another indie puzzle platformer for you to enjoy

http://www.gog.com/game/shadowrun_returns?pp=cb4e5208b4cd87268b208e49452ed6e89a68e0b8

 

In addition to those two games, they also released this: http://www.gog.com/game/shadowrun_returns?pp=cb4e5208b4cd87268b208e49452ed6e89a68e0b8

Edit: Dammit, Infinitron.

 

Give it a couple more months and I'll find it somewhere for 3.99. Then I'll pick it up.

 

Hopefully it's free when you pre-order the expansion at some point.

 

Posted on GOG, will be interesting to see if/how they reply:

 

When did GoG start selling mobile games?

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

 

GOG already works based on the people's goodwill. You can pirate any GOG game with their extras anyway, so why would you go through the hassle of getting a refund, and removing the game from your account? If you want to screw GOG over, you don't buy their games, instead you pirate the GOG version of a game from TPB. If you don't want to screw them over, you buy their games, and in case if you have a not working one, you get a refund. The plus side that thanks to the DRM, you can still have the (non working) game, if you downloaded it earlier.

 

No release today.
Winter sale incoming.

 

Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout tactics are for free for next 2 days:
