Get Commandos Series, Soulbringer, Creatures Series, Realms of the Hunting, Guilty Gear Games, and more assorted classics 60% off!

Summer's almost gone. The days are growing shorter--at least for those of us on the Northern Hemisphere and not living close to the equator, that is. Fret not! Longer evenings mean more time for gaming, and we've got just the right selection of games to make the late summer entertaining for you. Action, adventure, thrills, comedy, and strategy--it's all there in our assortment of titles from Digital Game Factory and Blue Moon Red Owl, or--just to keep it sweet and short--our [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/blue_moon_red_owl_digital_game_factory_weekend_promo_300813]Fading Summer Favorites, 60% off. Let's look at some of the games, shall we?

Commandos Ammo Pack and Commandos 2+3 bring you in the middle of World War II and put in command of a small squad of elite soldiers performing missions no one would think possible. Think Dirty Dozen with captivating real-time gameplay full of stealth, tactics, and challenge. The first title, including the original Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines and the expansion Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty, is available for only $2.39. The other, containing the game's both explosive and gripping sequels, can be yours for only $3.99 this weekend.

If you're an RPG fan and you enjoy deep games that take some dedication to complete, you should take this chance to discover Soulbringer, a somewhat obscure and underrated gem with gripping storytelling, versatile combat and magic system, and multiple endings. This is one of those games that just suck you in whole. The exquisite writing and great original world construction make it a very deep, satisfying and involving experience that exemplifies the definition of role-playing. This amazing, game you might have never heard of before, can be yours for only $2.39 this weekend.

That's only 3 out of 19 titles you can get 60% off in our Fading Summer Favorites weekend promo. Make sure to click through our promo page to see the whole selection. The offer lasts until Tuesday, September 3, at 3:59AM GMT. Don't miss out!

Did they ever add the version of Normality that has Corey Feldman in it?

Dont think so.

Already have what I want from that promo. Hope for another WC game next week.

Pretty good selection, thanks GOG.

Picking up Hostile Waters as it looked interesting when I read the reviews for it previously such that I've had it on my wishlist for a while. Also going to pick up Incoming Forces. Both games that sound fun that I missed back in the day.

Any suggestions for a frame rate limiter or throttle program? Don't know that I'll need it, but, I know I have run into issues with a couple games in the past running too quickly which didn't make them unplayable, but, made them too difficult for me.

Maybe I'm just in a game hoarding mood right now but this promo looks very promising.

Commandos was a blast playing when it first game out.

Reading some of the comments here I'm unsure about Imperial Glory and Pradetorians.


So far I'm planning on:
Commandos Ammo Pack
Realms of the Haunting
Hostile Waters
Commandos 2 + 3
Soulbringer
Imperial Glory
Pradetorians

Hey, this summer was better than this promo.
I only own Commandos from it and was thinking about buying Litil Divil but the funniest part of
that game was the included newspaper from the underworld...and that is missing here....

Anybody mind telling me if Incoming or Mob Rule are worth it?


It's funny I've bought more games from forum recommendations than from reading the reviews which I hardly read anyway.

P1na: Anybody who doesn't have Hostile Waters should rectify.
I really should, it's on my wishlist. But it there's so many bundles to buy instead...

I keep seeing Praetorians and Imperial Glory on my shelf and am never sure whether to try them or not.

Guess that's a green light.

Also, what's this about Commandos speed problems? I've played 2 but always wanted to try out 1.

Soulbringer looks sooooo cool but I'm hearing some nasty stuff about control and camera.

There are NO speed problems with the GOG. I just got it and it runs flawlessly. The speed problem seem to be with the people like me playing off the original disc from eons ago. It's an older game and modern processors just ran the damn thing way too fast.

As far as getting it, it is beyond great but it is a lot different than #2. Most of the same characters, some different, similar interface, but different. Most notably C2 had more options like searching stuff/bodies/crates, the ability for ANYONE to do ANYTHING or carry ANYTHING (in C1 what you can only carry what your character is capable of using and only one guy can drive). On a plus side the missions in C1 tend to be more strategic. Sometimes getting a few yards can take all sorts of monitoring and timing which I loved but may not be for everyone. Even if you get helplessly stuck on some of the harder missions there are some fantastic walkthroughs around and for $3 you are getting hours and hours of gameplay which makes it worth it.

P1na: No clue. I don't think I've played the GOG version. The game is great though, and it's really cheap, so I say take the chance.

Nirth: I don't like having broken games in my GOG shelf but yeah, it's super cheap. The sale lasts until Tuesday though so I'll wait a while to see if anyone makes a response regarding my concern.
I just bought it and to me runs very well. I have Windows 7. The game supports Widescreen but i play in 4:3 because a little bit of the screen, both up and down, doesn't show. But i tell you, the game runs fine, no major issues with it. And by the way, i didn't know this game until now and im discovering its absolutely great.

"Normality" is fun but I kind of wish I noticed all the post about the voice thing before I bought it. Sad thing is the guy always looked like me as a kid and the shit voice actually sounds more like me than Mr Feldman ever could.

I'm in the tutorial part myself. You say you use 4:3 but which specifc resolution? At the moment I'm playing at 1080p, I'm going to see if I can do this until I stumble upon an issue because of now it seems to only cut out a part during cutscenes or the menu but I might be wrong on that.

Praetorians is RTT, real-time tactics. Smaller maps, and you control groups of units, as opposed to individuals. Using the terrain to your advantage is very important.

Imperial Glory is basically like Total War, if you like any of those, you'll like this one.
