Smannesman: Isn't Gunpoint very short?
Also in case nobody mentioned it yet, the developer has matched the Steam price on his page.

carnival73: I've only put in about forty minutes of game but even if it only turn out to be three hours long it's still worth, at least, six bucks for the original game play - One of those quality or quantity games.

Seems like GOG's starting some kind of strange "stock"-limited sale?
It's "...a Fall Insomnia Promo where gamers from all continents will get a chance to buy celebrated games at up to 80% off discounts–and free games in very limited numbers as well.”
“The games will be on sale only one at a time in limited numbers of copies. When the stock of one game–marked on the promo page with a counter–runs out, another game is up.”

johnki: Turns out that, despite 90% of the Matrix catalog not having demos, this one had a demo. So I gave it a go in multiplayer with my girlfriend. It's relatively simple but a bit hard to get into due to having a snail's pace (even on the small Partisans map I tried) caused mostly by only being able move one unit per turn.

Then there's the fact that turns are separated into larger segments of battle, also confusingly called turns. I spent 20 minutes or so of the time I played unsuccessfully searching the manual for how AP recovered when it turns out I just had to wait until the next turn. Accidentally skipped half of one on my turns because I didn't understand the turn system and thought that skipping a turn might recover AP or something since nothing else seemed to be working and I was quickly running low on CAPs.

Once I had learned that, though, it all became a lot simpler from there.

Another thing I didn't like was the extremely low chance of hitting an opposing unit unless they're facing away from you and you're pretty much standing on their tile. Not being able to eliminate soldiers quickly made the slow pace seem even slower.

Despite all of that, however, I have to give the interface a lot of credit. It's clean and simple and something you don't see in a lot of wargames.

The biggest problem by far was setting the game up. For some reason, even after I set up a server, it wouldn't let us connect over the LAN. We had to use the online lobby.

I'm going to give it another shot later. Going back, I'll probably have adapted to the pace a bit and then I can judge it a bit better.

So many deals you stay awake thinking about it.

Good Old Games has a lot of games. Too many games. Occasionally put some on sale which is great, because it saves me the time from having to parse their entire library.

In my inbox today, I find that the cheeky Cypriats have gone and buggered that all up by, well, putting what seems like everything on sale. “To celebrate the diversity of its worldwide audience GOG.com has launched a trans time-zone deal: a Fall Insomnia Promo where gamers from all continents will get a chance to buy celebrated games at up to 80% off discounts–and free games in very limited numbers as well.”

Blimey. The subtitle reads “100 blockbuster games at budget prices”, as if selling for the cost of two cans of Red Bull wasn’t cheap enough already. Some of the highlights of the sale, starting from tomorrow, include System Shock 2, Fez, Rayman Origins, Alpha Centauri and Hotline Miami. But the real fun of the exercise is the limited availability of it all. “The games will be on sale only one at a time in limited numbers of copies. When the stock of one game–marked on the promo page with a counter–runs out, another game is up.”
