E3 is on it’s dawn. Lots’ of new things announced but we’d like to remind you about some Good Old Games you can play right now.
This week’s weekend promo is all about Strategy First catalogue, and we're putting a flat 50% off rebate on all titles, that includes cream of the crop turn based strategies like for example the [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/jagged_alliance_2]Alliance . If you’re not a fan of squad based mercenary action, take a look at [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/disciples_2_gold]both of the Disciples titles. If the fantasy world is what you like but you're more of a direct person check out Sacred Gold, action RPG with an engaging story line.
After defeating various beasts and monsters maybe chill in your own spaceship ? Darkstar One is a space adventure sim.

Maybe you’re looking for a more managerial approach, if yes we’ve got something right for you.
You can choose from a more medieval setting in Patrician 3 or Port Royale 2.

After all of that serious stuff with those games, maybe kick back on your chair and enjoy some arcade madness with this series of [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/pro_pinball_fantastic_journey]Pinball ! Or just smash someone to bits in [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/flatout]FlatOut, a thrilling racer with fully destructible cars and environments ;)

For the full listing of all games including (simulations like Apache vs. Havoc see the promo page).

DrIstvaan: However, they (actually, I recall it was TheEnigmaticT) also said something along the lines of "both EA and we will have a summer break and most games will come late Summer".
We shall see what happens in June and July.
Yeah, too much awesome at once and someone's head might pop. We have one more EA game coming next week, and then there's a break.

But don't be sad. We'll have other great things happening around here to keep you amused. ;)

Wazhai: @GoG: Please use apostrophes correctly, there's always an "it's" mistake in these news posts.
When the native English speaker is away in LA for E3, the logistics train for newsposts is long enough that we don't usually bother. Look for more grammatically correct English after I get back on the 20th. :P

Thanks for popping in.
Could you also tell us whether there will be other, non-EA releases in late June and in July or we shouldn't expect new old games in that period?

Oh, so that's three more games for my GOG-pile this week. Now I just have to figure out why my pile of games is so bloody huge :)

There's not a whole lot else to do when you're a ew thousand feet above Texas.

There will be games released from people who aren't EA. I forget who all. But people.

Catshade: Sacred Gold is a pretty fun Diablo-clone
I'm a fan of RPGs but I don't know about this one ... It looks a bit bland, and to tell the truth I didn't even finish Diablo - and that's a classic probably a few leagues above Sacred. Surprisingly I had fun playing Divine Divinity though, so I think I'll check out the Sacred demo to see if this would appeal to me, too. Thanks for the suggestion!

I remember having some fun with a demo of one of the Disciples titles back in the days but I don't remember if it was 1 or 2 ...

On the other hand, I bought but didn't really play King's Bounty and Age of Wonders (didn't like KB and it was too slow on my PC; actually liked the layout of AoW but found it hard to get into because of the aggressive and tough opponents; with this and TOEE it seems I'm always having more fun with the tutorials than the actual game ... ;) ).

SaraB123: I personally loved the Disciples titles - if I were to recommend one of them, it would be Disciples 2. Also - I happen to agree with you about AoW, and I also had a hard time getting into Kings Bounty - at FIRST. However, I discovered that my problem was that I started with a warrior, which is a very boring choice (I usually try playing RPGs as a warrior for my first go-around because the gameplay tends to be more straight-forward). If you ever decide to try it again, play as a Paladin - the addition of some magic REALLY improves the gameplay. Once I got going with KB, I absolutely LOVED it.
I probably won't try KB again until I get a new graphic card or computer, it's way to slow on my current one (low end, from 2007). ;)

Anyway, I remembered the game I played and liked was "Disciples: Shattered Land" - and that's also the cheaper of the two. Are there significant differences in the gameplay between Disciples and Disciples 2 or does the latter just have better graphics and a few new features? If they are more or less the same, I'm considering buying Disciples for 2.99; if I like it, I can still buy Disciples 2 another time, maybe even at full price. If I hate it, I lost 2 dollars less (but in that case I'm done with the genre once and for all, he he).

I'm running a Contest for one of the 2.99$ games if anyone wants to join in.

I say: yes. Maybe it "looks like" but it is nice strategy game. I had a lot of fun with it.

Here is my post about it: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/contest_lets_play_selection/post8

If you still hesitate, there are lot of reviews on YT, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3ng1Wzu0LU

How is Ghost Master? Is it similar to Neighbors From Hell?

I own all 'must-haves' from that list.. But because it's 3rd promo I would skip I decided to go and buy another Interplay game - and this time it's Jagged Alliance: Unfinished Business.

Can you share your list? :D As I said I think all games are good+, so I have hard time deciding now.
