Rebellious JC Denton or death-dealing Mr 47? What kind of hero will you be today?

GOG.com is proud to announce that Square Enix is the newest heavyweight addition to our ever-growing GOG.com catalog of great games. SquareEnix is one of the biggest publishers of the modern gaming world with almost 30-years of experience and famous releases for every single existing gaming system.

Deus: Ex Game of the Year Edition and Hitman: Codename 47 are the first titles we’re releasing from Square Enix, and they're available today for $9.99 and $5.99 respectively. Both games were originally released by Eidos in 2000, but not a single drop of greatness has been lost since then. Deus Ex is a magnificent blend of remarkable storytelling, RPG customization, and action-packed shooting. With all GOG.com’s heart we recommend Deus Ex for $9.99 as one of the most captivating and rewarding games ever. EVER! Hitman, a demanding stealth/action/planning game, created a now-iconic bald assassin Mr 47. With a vague name and a vague past, Agent 47 at least has a clear goal: eliminate the target at all costs. For you, the cost of Hitman: Codename 47 is $5.99.

There are a few more heroes from SquareEnix, that deserve a special treatment from GOG.com, and we will be announcing them in coming weeks. Today, it’s time to shave your head and buy an AMT Hardballer or wear sunglasses at night and save the world from the Illuminati.

You decide what kind of hero you want to be.

The prices in the announcement have been corrected. Hitman apparently was supposed to cost $5.99 all along.

Square-Enix! Finally!! Thank you GOG! LOVE YOU :)

So hope for releasing Final Fantasy is still growing :)

Good to see a new publisher, but Deus Ex is so popular its around the web at different price points. I will get it from here but probably during a sale. Its a shame really - both games on offer are from the same era (2000) but at different price points based on popularity I should imagine.

Thanks GOG - im looking forwaed to the Kane series and Thief series

Brilliant work as always

Square Enix just earned some reputation in my eyes...
I'm going to check out the Hitman games later.

Grimm23: Final Fantasy games that got PC ports? Please.

KMetalMind: Yeah! Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII :D
(Final Fantasy VIII)
Already have an illegal copy of that,
and a legal copy I found a few years later.

BUT.

I could always use a third copy- a nice GOG version without disk swapping.
I got SO lucky to find a PC version of FFVIII in a shop in melbourne, new, not used. The moment I saw it. I just, o_o I HAD to have it. So I did. and I never regretted it.

One of my favourite games of all time

You bet Deus Ex will get another sequel from the profits you'll get from selling titles on GOG, drm-free. :)

Thief 4 and DXHR 2 FTW.

Welcome to the light side Enix!

Good job GOG!
Posted January 26, 2012
Really? That was the surprise? Huh... I was expecting something more... Not already available on Steam.

Available for 5 years...

Just saying :\

Still. Excited to see what other SquareEnix games come our way.

Now these are what I call "proper releases". GoTY editions with a handful of extras etc. Should I thank SquareEnix and GOG? or blame EA (or GOG)?

l0rdtr3k: but good ports?

Actually, there was nothing wrong with the (FFVIII) port. It can be patched to work on vista and 7 64bit.

Whats better is, the patch also allows for mods, increased resolution, and windowed settings.

The port itself contained higher rez movie files then the psx version, and a copy of chocobo world which was originally only a Japan only bonus.

Add in the fact that the controls are actually pretty easy to remember (eaiser then if you emulated it) and its pretty good.
