Adventure is his trade.

Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within, a cinematic point-and-click adventure game featuring the venturesome daredevil treasure hunter, Captain Jack Keane, is available 20% off on GOG.com. That's only $23.99 for the first week!

Orphaned as a child and raised by the London's mean streets, he became one of the greatest adventurers of his time. Who? Captain Jack Keane! Always ready to take the risk--necessary or not--always laughing danger in the face, looking for trouble and finding more of them than anyone else could handle, and somehow always getting the legendary treasure in the end. And the girl. As the story begins, we find our hero in a Shanghai prison. Surely he'll find a way to escape and go on yet another crazy treasure hunt, but it is now up to you to help him.

Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within lets you embark on a thrill-filled journey around the world with the British adventurer full of roguish charm, who insists to be called "captain". Classic point-and-click adventure mixes with exciting action sequences in this title, to create a cinematic experience that will make you feel like a true treasure hunter. Pair that with colorful and vivid art-style, lots of good humor, and an intriguing story, and what you get is a must-have for any adventure fan!

Get ready to travel the world on a madcap chase for glory, thrills, and fortune with Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within, for only $23.99. The 20% discount lasts until Friday, July 5, at 9:59AM GMT.

Always like being in the GOG community :) In terms of Darksiders, future will show. As for Painkiller this is fully up to GOG. I always wanted to add at least Painkiller Overdose but no luck so far with approval ;-) Same with ArcaniA franchise and The Guild 2 series - those are really games I want to see on GOG.com in future. Let's pray to the GOG gods for their blessings.

Enjoy the Jack Keane 2 release :)

What? GOG rejected Arcania and The Guild 2? the hell...

I would like to buy Arcania on GOG. It was a very nice ARPG with wonderful graphics. No true Gothic 4 anyway, but I liked it. I hope, GOG will change their mind.

Hehe, yes. But let's go back to the topic again - Jack Keane 2 is here - wohooo :-)

Hey, it's Rent-a-Hero! Oh no, wait, it's that OTHER game with the protagonist who looks like Rodrigo from Rent-a-Hero. <.<

Roman5: We are still waiting for the first Journeyman project
We are still waiting for the first System Shock
We are still waiting for the first Blood Omen game
Probably legal issues in all these cases. Blood Omen was published by Activision while the rest was published by Eidos/Squeenix, plus IIRC there was some sort of legal dispute between Crystal Dynamics and Silicon Knights. With System Shock - who knows how the situation is considering the effort it took to get System Shock 2 (and the first one apparently wasn't covered by that deal). And well, Journeyman Project - the original Windows version was IIRC powered by some weird Windows 3.1x exclusive stuff (something similar to Flash, AFAIK) and the remake was published by other companies than the sequels. There - good reasons?

Roman5: I absolutely HATE it when a series is incomplete here on GOG
I slightly dislike it when people accuse GOG of stuff the developers/publishers are responsible for.

*sigh*

Again a German adventure without the German language. I'll pass and get it when the original language is added.

It will most likely never be added, see my post above. Sorry.

ThomNG: snip
You work for Nordic ? If so, do you guys plan on getting Harbinger here ? I already have it on GG, but I would buy it again here if it came.

I do ... Harbinger was never really a discussion topic with GOG.com. It is a great title but not one GOG is looking for in terms of big fan community, great scores or fans are requesting a title heavily.

Well, it has nearly 150 votes on the wishlist( I contributed a little on that :D ) so maybe if you guys ask GOG "Hey, you wanna take a look at Harbinger, see if you'd like to sell it", they might consider it ?

I'm really chuffed to see this here! I only bought Jack Keane a few weeks back (really fun adventure game) and didn't even realize there *was* a sequel, so this is great timing for me.

Very sorry for the German-speakers though. They always seem to cop a rough deal with language licensing. :-(

I wrote an email to my friends at GOG on that topic. Now back to Jack Keane 2 (so difficult to stay on topic today ;) ).
