Just noticed you're missing Missionforce: Cyberstorm series from the Sierra portion. It was a turn based strategy game loosely based on the Earthsiege license. Think Mechcommander's level of customization for both pilots and mechs, but in a turn based Steel Panthersesque style of gameplay.

The second was not so good, but the first? Pure excellence.

Wow lots of related games there - changed the entry to read:

Metaltech universe - Earthsiege, Starsiege, Tribes, Hunter Hunted, Cyberstorm series (Dynamix - Sierra - Activision)
Moved Covert Action to the Changes section :-)
OK It's just come to my attention that
Carrier Command: Gaea Mission
Isn't just an update to the original 80's Carrier Command but also a licensed property linked to the 'Gaea Universe' novels from Helios Publishing

http://www.heliospublishing.com/

It is in no way clear whether, just because they're made the newer game, that Bohemia would have the rights to publish the original Carrier Command either, therefore I've deleted:

Carrier Command series (Rainbird/Telecomsoft - Microprose - Atari - Bohemia)

From the Bohemia Interactive section

*edit*
Actually, on closer inspection, the creator of the Gaea Universe 'David Lagettie' has a VERY close relationship with Bohemia Interactive, he created the original simulator that ArmA 1 (or Op Flashpoint as it was originally known) and has said things like this:

"8. Why do you think it will lend itself for a game adaptation?
[DL] The Gaea Universe books feature a struggle for resources, a sense of exploration, and the ever-present spectre of human conflict. These three elements perfectly suit a game like Carrier Command: Gaea Mission. Carrier Command is my favourite game ever and when I secured the rights to make an update/sequel, I knew I wanted the Gaea story to enhance it. The makers of the original game loved a preview version of the novel and agreed it would suit Carrier Command, so we renamed the vehicles in the story to be the Manta and Walrus."

from an interview on the Bohemia website
http://www.carriercommand.com/2012/02/inside-the-carrier-10-questions-for-gilson-and-david-lagettie/

Therefore I'm ruling that there should be no licensing issues between Lagettie and Bohemia and am putting it back in!
Research!

Inadvertently hijacked a thread and ended and ended up adding 'Rise of the Dragon' to Activision:

Removed "Silent Service series (Microprose - Atari - Tommo)" as GOG Released Silent Service 1+2 today
- says that in the 'changes' section too, coincidentally!

Fever_Discordia: Space Empires series (Strategy First)
We already have Space Empires IV here, so I think, that could be removed.

Also, Stardock has a couple more games, but I'm not sure, if they fit. The Corporate Machine (which was published by Take-Two), The Political Machine (2004) (which was published by Ubisoft), and The Political Machine 2008 (which was self-published).
I just noticed that the 'Wargame' series is mentioned as missing IP from Focus, but Wargame: European Escalation is here, so shouldn't that be removed?

I checked the release date for Space Empires IV and it predates the list by 4 months so it never should have been added - D'oh! Removed, thanks

Yeah, I wouldn't normally have added The Corporate Machine as the publisher was Take 2 (I removed Double Fine's 'The Cave' after someone pointed out that Sega had the publishing credit on that one)
However I decided that Stardock much have at least been trying to create a brand with their ...Machine titles if not a true series so I added this entry:
" ...Machine Series (Corporate.., Political...) (Take 2 - Ubisoft - Stardock)"
Not sure damien would see it that way if one were added though...
Thanks again

Oh yeah, the release of that one predates the start of the list too - by only 10 days but then I don't think Focus were a priority at the start...

Oops!
removed, thanks

Fever_Discordia: snip
I still missed a couple games from Stardock.

First of all The Political Machine 2012 (Mobygames doesn't have an entry for it). Like the 2008 version, it's self-published by Stardock, so it's likely, that they have the rights to the original one from 2004 too.

The next two are (self-published), and [url=http://www.mobygames.com/game/business-tycoon]Business Tycoon (published by Ubisoft). They are prequels to The Corporate Machine. Question is, if Ubisoft still has the rights to Business Tycoon and The Corporate Machine, or if they are now by Stardock.

The last game is LightWeight Ninja (published by Black Tooth Inc.). I never heard of this publisher, and I have no idea, if they still have the rights to the game. In other words, this game most likely doesn't fit the list.

Stardock also made an authorised add-on for StarCraft, called Retribution, which was published by Wizard Works Software. This definitely doesn't fit the list.

OK I've changed the entries to
"Entrepreneur series (inc. Business Tycoon and Corporate Machine, The) (Stardock - UbiSoft - Take2)
Political Machine Series (Ubisoft - Stardock)"

I can't find any info about this Black Tooth Inc. either - if it ever comes to light that they were eaten by someone signed I would add it and anything else they published but until then...

Yeah, can't really add Starcraft DLC, no

Thanks!

Updated the list for GOG getting the Deadlock games today
new publisher Ritual Entertainment may mean new games

damien: new publisher Ritual Entertainment may mean new games
Yeah, I wondered about that too, I have a feeling, IIRC, that a lot of their stuff was either licensed or expansion packs for other things but I will check it out
Thanks

damien: new publisher Ritual Entertainment may mean new games
Yeah, doesn't seem to be anything eligible for adding here:
http://www.mobygames.com/company/ritual-entertainment
SOUNDS like a complete run down of everything they did, some stuff might be missing though, I suppose
SiN eps ep 1 is the only thing for Ritual on Steam too though
