just because your editors seem to get it wrong in every goddamn article, including the Derek Smart one, it’s GOG not gog or GoG or gOg, but all caps, Good Old Games. The lower case “o” is primarily only used for small words that don’t have much meaning like WoW is “of.” “of” is insignificant incomparison to World or Warcraft, which is why those two are capitalized in the name “World of Warcraft” as opposed to all 3 words

in Good Old Games, all three words are capitalized because all three are equally important.

No System Shock 2. What a huge disappointment.

Erlend M: jonfitt mostly said it, but here’s an old I-War review of mine, FWIW.

The I-War 2 bridge was something of a disappointment after I-War. I remember loading it up, and being confused that suddenly one person was supposed to man the thing. Mostly it’s a cosmetic difference, but ditching the weapons station was a significant change.

Personally I love the shield system :) Yet another example of Particle Systems going the extra mile in suspending disbelief. Just make sure you do actually understand it before you play. In combat, it’s very satisfying to use it successfully.

And adjusting for ‘inflation’, I still rate the I-War intro video as the single greatest video game CGI of all time.

They have an RSS feed to keep up with the news. Not sure about the email newsletter though.

I loved Urban Chaos, apart from the lack of in-mission save. That, unfortunately, killed it for me in the end. Without that flaw, it would’ve been a classic.

Does anyone know if GOG have an alert/email feature for new games? Just so I don’t have to revisit their site all the time.

Do they do a game called Rune?

Now that was a fun game multiplayer. It was like Die By The Sword, except less buggy.

Giants is fun – Humanlike dudes VS a Giant VS Sea Witches.

Sacrifice is an awesome game and was surprised is didn’t get more credit when it was released.

I signed up yesterday and bought Hostile Waters.

This is bar none the best ANYTHING online store site I’ve ever seen. It totally floored me. There is a communal wishlist, game forums, reviews, extra download material, game-specific support, pre-patched downloads that run on XP/Vista, and no shenanigans.
