Up to 80% off Armello, Aqua Kitty, Dust: An Elysian Tail, and Inherit the Earth!



Having a pet around the house is all fine and dandy, until saliva-free peripherals become a rare commodity. Or until you find your new pair of 5.1 headphones sticking out of the litter box. It would seem that cute, furry beasts and games don't mix well, but we've got solid proof this is not the case. Sure, things can get hairy when gaming around unruly pets, but try gaming with them and it's fun times for everyone involved. Especially when they are one of <span class="bold">The Furry Few</span>, the Weekly Staff Picks starring our cuddly co-habitants of the planet.

In the jungle of war there is always a lion. Or a wolf. Or an otter. If you thought human power struggles are intense, try clawing, backstabbing or weaseling your way to the throne of the animal kingdom as one of the eight Armello clan heroes. And while you are falling in love with the charming cartoon visuals and the sublime soundtrack, this tabletop strategy game with subtle RPG sensibilities will manage to keep you up until it's time for your dog's morning walk.

Dust, the amnesiac, death-dealing protagonist of An Elysian Tail is not one for words. But while he slices, dices and double-jumps his way through breathtaking glades, mountaintops and dimly lit caves, his chatty nimbat companion and sentient sword make sure there is not a dull moment to be had. Especially if you make a point of delivering death through spectacular combos, or discovering the awesome collectibles scattered around this fairy-tale world.



So welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games, everything you want and we even know the names! They are called <span class="bold">The Furry Few</span> and they are our four Weekly Staff Picks, going for up to 80% off. Nudge them out of hibernation and get ready, for they will be eager to play. And not always nice… The promo will last until January 14, 10:59 AM GMT.
Now this is my kind of pick. :D

The only one I don't have is Armello, but I'll have to hold off on that one a little while longer.
Expecting this to be a Fury of the Furries announcement :O
Bought all except for Armello. Waited a while for Aqua Kitty as it was on my wishlist. Bought Dust because of the great reviews. I usually don't hold any interest for point and click games, but Inherit the Earth surprised me with it's deep story. I read that Inherit the Earth was supposed to have a more explicit story line about racism, but was toned down by the publisher. Recently Inherit the Earth 2 aka Inherit the Earth: Sand and Shadows has started development. It will be interesting to see the outcome of the sequel.

astroclay: Considering the the theme of this week's promo, it would be great to see a surprise release for Jazz Jackrabbit :D
I'm surprised that Jazz still isn't on GOG yet. The wishlist has over 7,000 votes!
cuteness overload :)

IronArcturus: I'm surprised that Jazz still isn't on GOG yet. The wishlist has over votes! <a href="http://www.gog.com/forum/general/weekly_staff_picks_the_furry_few_f0c7f/post20" class="link_arrow"></a></div> I know, and that's just for the first game! Jazz Jackrabbit 2 sits close to [url=http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/jazz_jackrabbit_2_1]5,000 votes and the "expansion pack" Jazz Jackrabbit 2: The Secret Files has about 2,000 more votes!

I think it would really be great to see a bundle release including all entire series. My personal wish would be for the first Jazz Jackrabbit game (CD Rom version), Jazz 2:TSF, and all of the holiday titles ('94, '95, & '98). Some great freebies might also include the soundtrack or the unreleased Jazz 3 prototype.
Looking at this GOGmix, I kinda wish there were more than "few," especially Legend of Kay. Might be because GOG had the least of luck dealing with the publishers for this pick?
Was kinda hopin for some sort of Bowie tribute with Omikron in it. Probably already had this one planned though.

That...


would be awesome.



Great deal on Armello, though. It hard to get people together for board games though, even digital ones :P

you are in luck with bubsy then but you need 3 consoles to play that filth
an snes or megadrive for bubsy 1 and 2
a jaguar for bubsy in fractured tales
and a ps1 for bubsy 3d

and you know whats really worse ?
there are games that are WORSE then bubsy
awesome possum for instance cant even hold a stable framerate
but bubsy is just so soul less and corporate mandated he is made by a committee and as such can only be awfully mediocre at best
We few, we happy few, we band of critters....

(26 posts and nobody invoked Shakespeare yet? We are slipping.)

Not sure if 33% discount is quite enough to get me to bite on Armello after their delay on releasing here; will depend on what, if anything, comes out tomorrow.
Nothing for me in this promo. Money saved. :D
