apexultima: We probably have to fight Mr Boll for them. Damn him!

Delixe: I would have got in the ring with that twat. I don't care how good a boxer he is, one swift kick to the happy sacks and he goes down like anyone.

That sounds an awful lot like a Lister quote from the Red Dwarf episode Polymorph ;-)

Wasgo: I'm certain based on the clues that it's Halo. The countdown is positioned to be replaced with the letters H, A, L and O. The words unexcelled can easily refer to something from Microsoft other than Excel and the graphic would work perfectly for Halo as well. In addition, it meets the criteria for a game that was previously mentioned.
While Halo might not be the most exciting game, if Microsoft is now supporting GOG.com it would be a huge coup, as it would be an amazing signal to other publishers than the GOG.com method should be supported.
Also, Microsoft is a top 3 video game publisher by revenue: [url=]http://kotaku.com/5030320/here-are-the-top-20-publishers-in-the-business-ranked-according-to-cash-money-intake[/url]. Not sure if that's accurate for PC games, but I'm certain that would still hold for gaming revenue.

I don't think Microsoft has any interest in supporting a small, DRM-free store. Not to mention that, besides Flight Simulator, they don't really have much in the way of "good old games".
That said, Bungie is independent these days, so Marathon would be far more likely than Halo. (If they even still own the rights.) But I'm sticking to my prediction that it will be a major deal with a publisher rather than a studio, and my bet is on EA.
In unrelated news: this thread is getting pretty insane. Are we talking about GOG or the Apple Tablet? The hype is out of control!

Ahem...
Guys, can't you just wait 4 days? ;)

Either Dues EX series or signing up with id Software for their old games, that is what I believe.

Wait? That will be probably the longest 4 days in my life. :S

i must say that the blue sunrise looks a like the beginning of the UEFA champions league logo, so maybe its one of EA's FIFA games

Ralackk: OK I've counted the number of stars in the picture and there is exactly 4531. If you magnify the image by 1000% you can see the tiny 1 pixel sized stars.
Now if we use a rolling alphabet to assign the numbers to a letter we end up with something very intresting.
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 89 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Now if we link the numbers to the alpahbet with single digits it spells out Deus...

Jagji56: Dude, you think you have gone a little to far there? I mean, come on! if you magnifier it by HOW MUCH? and you counted HOW MANY? You really have no life, do you...
Hows this then.

I say let's go out there and TWAT him. :P

Ah, damn, now we're getting System Shock 2, although I have my borther's copy for years and only once bothered to make a thorough playthrough (got stuck though). I would hope it would be either Thief or Morrowind, if it has to be one of the "unexcelled games" (tm) list.

To the person who said that it was unlikely it was Microsoft because they don't really have any good old games I have this to say:
- Age of Empire
- Rise of Nations
- Crimson Skies
- Freelancer
- Fable
- Halo
- Midtown Madness
- The Movies
- Mechwarrior
- Microsoft Flight Simulator
- Black and White
....to name just a few...NONE of which are available one other direct download sites (except some on that terrible subscription Metaboli site).
It would really be GOG's absolute best coup possible

You are forgetting Close Combat, THE best game Microsoft ever released..
