Jagged Alliance 2, Sacred Gold, Flatout and more Strategy First Games 60% off.

How do you call a promo that features about 20 awesome games? As any other given week, we've put all the sale parameters in our Artificially Creative Marketing Enhancer 5000 so it would generate a nice promo name for us, but to our surprise the only output it gave us was: [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/strategy_first_weekend_promo_010213]~20 Awsome Games (yes, with a typo). We tried rebooting it, updating the drivers, adding some additional cooling to the creative chip, and even threatening the damn AI with early retirement in the junk pile behind the GOG.com bunker. All in vain. ~20 Awsome Games is all we could get out of it. Strange glitch. But, what the hell, we decided to go with it. So, let's see what set of games made such an impression on our Marketing Enhancer, shall we?

If you are a strategy fan with a significant turn-based combat inclination, Jagged Alliance 2 is a title you just can't miss. Leading a squadron of mercenaries and micro-managing all the details of their missions is both fun and challenging. The Enigmatic T considers this title to be one of the best games of all times. Find out why!

More of a fantasy fan? Here's a treat for you. Sacred Gold is a brilliant hack-and-slash title with an open world, varied player classes, legions of nasties to slay, and a pretty original and interesting story-line, told from the perspective of different characters. The game comes complete with all the updates and the Underground expansion pack.

Or maybe you need to satisfy your lust for adrenaline? Check Flatout, an amazingly diverse racing game sporting a realistic physics engine, powerful cars, and many different play modes. This is the game you want to play when you just need to feel that racing rush!

But that's only the tip of the iceberg, as the uninspired but accurate name suggests you can get almost 20 games with a nice 60% off discount this weekend. Head out to the promo page, and check out the fantastic selection of Strategy First games yourself.

Below, you'll find a new episode of This Week on GOG, a short video guide to recent events, promos, and other happenings on the site. By the way, if you haven't already, you might want to follow the GOG.com channel on Youtube, so you won't miss our shows, specials, and exclusive trailers.

dirtyharry50: Can you take the disrespect for lesbians elsewhere? Not cool and not funny.
While I would argue that this is not the place for rude jokes, there is no disrespect that I can see in the joke. Why don't you read it again, and properly analyze it instead of just going off like a hair trigger because a specific group of people was mentioned ?
What's the difference between GOGer and a sad zombie having sex?

Nothing. Both are DEAD FUCKING SERIOUS.

If you are unable to see how that is disrespectful, I cannot help you. Sorry. It would just be a waste of time for us to argue back and forth about it.

That is wrong. I have always had the same name and my profile says so. I don't know who's profile you looked at (there are many DirtyHarry's on Steam) but it was not mine. I am not DirtyHarry50 on Steam by the way but I think I won't bother telling you who I am there. I also do not cheat in games.

I do live in the United States and I am of Irish descent entirely.

Learn to do your homework son. :D

Well I'm glad we agree the joke was bad. This poor thread has suffered enough over this bad joke now.

Patrician III and Port Royale 2 look good in the sale this weekend. Too bad the first Port Royale isn't included for some reason. That's on my wish list too.

Darkstar One is supposed to be a very good game as well but I own it already.

I very rarely hit the minus button on any post but I did for that tasteless joke, yeah. Even so, my single minus didn't change your rep. That isn't how it works. A number of people had to hit minus too before your rep would change. Nobody knows what that magic number is as far as I know but I think it takes a fair number of people liking or not liking a post for someone's rep to move one digit.

Your raging, incoherent private messages caused me to block you so I don't need to waste time on your ceaseless rants anymore. Congratulations on being the first person I've met in over two years here that I had to figure out how to do that for.

I'm sorry for your misfortune but I think we both know it isn't really an excuse for the bad joke. Just let it go. It isn't such a big deal and does not deserve all of this. In my opinion, it is not cool to make derogatory jokes about gay people and I told you so. I think a lot of people would agree.

As to your question about my age, I am old enough to be your father.

You do not know anything about my life either. I will give you the short version. There are multiple reasons I am diagnosed with PTSD. I guess I should say to you, welcome to the club. Life can be tough sometimes, that is for sure.

So your 60! then

It wasn't my bad joke and sorry for the all caps my caps lock is fucked which means I have to use shift key to make this normal size I've just jammed a lollie wrapper in the friggin shift key and yes I was ranting but I had good reason too as for the "joke" which I didn't really get what I wanted was an opinion Not a friggin flaming match. well you don't have to worry about me anymore anyway how the hell did you block me?!?

I ALSO HAVE PTSD and I'm only 29

So maybe we can share life stories then

Also I'd like you to understand When I was just 6 Years old I was Passed around like a bag of chips at a womans refuge (the women were raping me!) while keeping my mother in a weird head state so my mother doesn't know I can't tell her because she still thinks I'm a virgin FFS do you understand why sometimes I come across the way I do.

Too much info. This is the kind of stuff you talk to a therapist about, not strangers on an Internet forum.

Sorry about that!
Remember the clue about how lame bards are, and we all jumped to the conclusion that it was going to be Bard's Tale... and it wasn't? I'm just saying... maybe they're trolling us.
