Alan Wake, Legend of Grimrock, Trine, Chronicles of Riddick, and more 50% off

Winter draws near. The wind plays with the few remaining autumn leaves, the days grow short, the air gets colder and colder--well, at least that's how it is in central Europe. Faces against the chilling wind, we look to the North, the cradle of the [url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/nordic_developers_games_weekend_promo_26_10_12/]Viking Games. Let's look at some titles coming from the developers whose ancestors sailed the raging seas in their mighty drakkars.

Alan Wake Part survival horror, part detective novel, part action, and part adventure--a must-have for fans of exciting thrillers and sublime story-telling. When the wife of the best-selling writer Alan Wake disappears on their vacation, his search turns up pages from a thriller he doesn’t even remember writing. A Dark Presence stalks the small town of Bright Falls, pushing Wake to the brink of sanity in his fight to unravel the mystery and save his love.

Legend of GrimrockPure-blooded dungeon crawling game with grid-based movement and thousands of squares, riddled with hidden switches, pressure plates, sliding walls, floating crystals, forgotten altars, trapdoors, and more. The game sports tile-based movement combined with real-time combat. You control a party of four prisoners, either using the pre-made adventurers or by carefully creating your own desperate crew.

is a physics-based action game where three characters combine their powers to devise clever solutions to challenges created by hazardous puzzles and threatening enemies. The gameplay is based on fully interactive physics where each character's different abilities and tactics can be used to invent new ways to overcome obstacles and save the kingdom! With enchanting visuals, beautiful music, and stunning attention to detail throughout the entire adventure, [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/trine]Trine is a real treat for puzzle and platformer fans alike!

These titles, and many more, are available 50% off on GOG.com this weekend, so put on your warmest hats and jackets before heading North to the promo page and brace your games, winter's coming!

timppu: The only game in the promo I don't have from GOG already is Pure Pinball 2 Redux, and I think I've passed it before as well.

Quick, someone say something positive about it!

Or, GOG could announce that it will be removed from GOG on Monday? Would I get an urge to buy it then?
Same here - got everything but Pure Pinball 2 Redux. Will probably just add it when getting Lucius. Never cared for real pinball machines and only played such a game on a PC back in '96 (mandatory IT class where I knew ten times as much as the teacher - nothing better to do). It's only $3 though..

I raise you the original silly Vikings.
Only one that interest me I already own, Legend of Grimrock!
It seems that the GOG staff is almost on week-end :-)

I already got 3 games that interest me in that promo and have played none of them (Alan Wake, Alan Wake: American Nightmares and Riddick) so I'll pass for the remaining that I don't own: Legend of Grimrock.

LOL, me want! Here on GOG! :D
The Finns were not vikings, god darn it! And just 1 game short of half of the ones in the current promo are from Finland.

*is bitter because the Finns are trying to take all the glory*

Also, just an interesting side-note: Not a singe one of the games is Danish.

So this thread is now a viking youtube contest? Very well...
Already have almost all the games so nothing for me, but for those who don't yet have Alan wakes, Flatout, Trine and/or Legend of Grimrock I can wholeheartedly recommend them. Truly awesome games if you have the slightest of intrest in those kind of games.

True. At least I didn't understand a word in those viking ads, that's why they have Finnish subtitles, I guess.
