Alan Wake, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, and Trine--each 75% off!

Did you know that Santa's North Pole workshop is more than just a toy factory? It's a scientific facility dedicated to research in the field of fun and entertainment. The so called "elves", are actually scholars, and--unsurprisingly--some of them would prefer a little bit less old-fashioned uniforms. You know, without the pointy shoes. Those are the ones that don't stick around after they graduate. Instead, they move a little bit south and settle down in Scandinavia, where they join game development studios. Wanna see what they do in there? Here's some [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/scandinavian_games]Scandinavian Games.

Alan Wake is an action thriller in which a burned-out author of best-selling fiction battles darkness and balances on the edge of sanity in order to save the love of his life, taken by the mysterious forces hiding in the night. It's a fascinating story that will keep you on the edge of your chair, while it provides many moments of horror, and challenges you with memorable fight sequences. Today's price: $7.49!

You'll find even more of that in Alan Wake's American Nightmare, that continues the story of Mr. Wake, as he takes on the American urban legends and common fears, that begin to come to life, fueled by the writer's mysterious dark adversary. New game modes, new scary foes, new weapons, and even more cultural references--all this and more for only $3.75!

Here's one for the fans of gritty hard Sci-Fi (and Vin Diesel). The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is a stealth/RPG/brawler testosterone-trip of a game, starring the memorable anti-hero of Pitch Black, the cat-eyed Riddick. The game also includes a refurbished edition of his critically acclaimed previous adventure, Escape from Butcher's Bay. All that badassitude for just $3.75!

If you prefer something less dark and brutal, and more colorful and cheerful, is right up your alley! This gorgeous platformer/physics puzzler, features three unique characters, each with a special set of abilities. A sneaky bow-wielding thief, a wizard with telekinetic powers, and a strong knight in heavy armor--all of them forced to undertake a dangerous quest. Considered the contemporary platforming revelation, [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/trine]Trine is only $2.49 for the next 24 hours!

Any other day you would spend about $70 on these Scandinavian Games. Today, however, you can get each of them 75% off--that means, should you choose to grab the whole package, you'll only pay a little above $17! What to do with over $50 you just saved? Most of the games from our catalog are currently up to 50% off, so it might be a good time to get some titles off that wishlist!

Happy holidays!
Bought Alan Wake.

Nearly bought Riddick too, but... I don't know, I'm not sure I'd ever get around to playing it.
I already have Trine and I'm not really interested in any other game from this promo...

Ghorpm: I already have Trine and I'm not really interested in any other game from this promo...
I hear ya.

I'd love the next bundle to be any kind of thing that included Gemini Rue. Didn't get it during the 5 for $10 sale because I decided to buy only one Wadjet Eye game.
The first review on the Dark Athena page says the game has no quicksaves. Does that still apply? Because then, I'd rather wait for the original Escape From Butcher's Bay.
I have been waiting for this deal. All I really wanted during this sale was The Witcher 2 (got it!), and both the Alan Wake games. I also found out yesterday Riddick and Far Cry 2 where added to site and I put those on my wishlist as well. Sadly I have to wait until tomorrow morning to buy Alan Wake.

I know I'm in minority but I don't thing Gemini Rue is as brilliant as the majority claims. Don't get me wrong, it is a decent point & click, it has its moments but in general... well,c I don't want to spoil it so let me just add that the story has a massive potential and yet the developers managed to squander it completely... at least that's my opinion and we all now that de gustibus non est disputandum
I've had Riddick on my Steam wishlist for a while (before I knew about gog), and always had concerns when I saw this:

Notice: After activating the game for a third time TAGES will start a 30-day timer. After 30 days you will get that activation back up to 3 total activations.

But now it's onsale for less than I've ever seen it on Steam, and without DRM? SOLD

A very nice promotion, but its like the 3rd one in a row where I own all or most of the games.
What bothers me most is that I've used up my download bandwidth for the month already, so now with the addition of Trine and Alan Wake (yey!) I have 13 games on queue to download once it resets, and they're not small games D:

Still, happy days.

jacobmarner: The Hitman games are Scandinavian too and so is the Longest Journey games.
On the other hand, three games out of four (Alan Wake, Alan Wake's American Nightmare and Trine) in this deal are actually not Scandinavian games, as Finland is not part of Scandinavia.

"Fennoscandian games" or "Nordic countries' games" would be closer to truth, but then people would be like "Huh?".


(Yeah, I'm nitpicking, so sue me. :))
You guys do know that Finland isn't a part of Scandinavia, right?

That means 3 out of 4 games in the "Scandinavian Games" pack aren't from Scandinavia.

I'd probably be a little offended if I were one of the devs.


Edit: timppu beat me to it.

I was in the same boat, actually: Seeing it go on sale over and over again on Steam, but always skipping the purchase because of that damn DRM. I was thrilled when GOG added it to their catalogue.

By the way, there was some mention of it still sorta, kinda having a trace of the DRM left in the GOG install, but I think what really happened was some TAGES DLL is still in the install, but inactive. Can anyone out there who's already installed confirm this? :)

Thanks,
Justin

In English, 'Scandinavia' covers all the Nordic countries. (It's only linguistically that Finland isn't part of the Scandinavian branch of the Germanic languages.) So English differs from how the Nordic countries would internally label themselves in their respective languages.

Same the whole reason I didn't play the steam version was because of tages. Same with Far Cry 2 and its drm. I had no idea they were added to the site.

Here are some posts about the Tages problem people had with the gog version:
