Simply a wonderful game! it recreated the time of Robin Hood and medieval England in a way that captures the magic of the time period like few other games do (lords of the Realm II or Stronghold might have done that later) but the cool thing about this game, is how many game modes there is. The overall goal is to become the dominant lord of England. But this can be done in several ways: you can hold a tournament and challenge another lord to joust with lances over the control of lands. Or you can take a more direct approach, make a small army, and try to conquer regions outright. You can even try to break into an enemy lord's castle at night and see if you can kidnap (i mean liberate :P) a young fair lady to court her. There is no easy way to play this game any more that doesn't require you to fiddle with many settings. Therefor this game belongs on gog.com spread the word guys! we need this game on gog
Those games also need your vote!

Grand Theft Auto V: Premium Edition
Grand Theft Auto V: Premium EditionGrand Theft Auto V takes place five years after Grand Theft Auto IV and is now set in Los Santos. It centers around three protagonists: Michael, Trevor, and Franklin. New to the series is that the player can switch between the three characters on the fly. They each have different missions, lives, and personalities. They also often come together, especially for heists, a complex type of mission where a large operation needs to be planned and executed by determining a strategy and hiring additional henchmen. As with previous games in the series, the gameplay involves gunfights and takes place in a sprawling, open-world city where players get around by acquiring transport (cars, boats, helicopters, etc) through less than legal means. Players can roam the game world, complete story missions, and partake in various illegal activities, including shooting civilians, robbing people, destruction of cars, and the titular act of car theft. These lead to a wanted rating of up to five stars, sending in a police force in pursuit. Continuing to resist the police will also increase it. The wanted status is lost by getting out of sight or by spraying the car.
