Alan Wake, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, and Trine--each 75% off!

Did you know that Santa's North Pole workshop is more than just a toy factory? It's a scientific facility dedicated to research in the field of fun and entertainment. The so called "elves", are actually scholars, and--unsurprisingly--some of them would prefer a little bit less old-fashioned uniforms. You know, without the pointy shoes. Those are the ones that don't stick around after they graduate. Instead, they move a little bit south and settle down in Scandinavia, where they join game development studios. Wanna see what they do in there? Here's some [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/scandinavian_games]Scandinavian Games.

Alan Wake is an action thriller in which a burned-out author of best-selling fiction battles darkness and balances on the edge of sanity in order to save the love of his life, taken by the mysterious forces hiding in the night. It's a fascinating story that will keep you on the edge of your chair, while it provides many moments of horror, and challenges you with memorable fight sequences. Today's price: $7.49!

You'll find even more of that in Alan Wake's American Nightmare, that continues the story of Mr. Wake, as he takes on the American urban legends and common fears, that begin to come to life, fueled by the writer's mysterious dark adversary. New game modes, new scary foes, new weapons, and even more cultural references--all this and more for only $3.75!

Here's one for the fans of gritty hard Sci-Fi (and Vin Diesel). The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is a stealth/RPG/brawler testosterone-trip of a game, starring the memorable anti-hero of Pitch Black, the cat-eyed Riddick. The game also includes a refurbished edition of his critically acclaimed previous adventure, Escape from Butcher's Bay. All that badassitude for just $3.75!

If you prefer something less dark and brutal, and more colorful and cheerful, is right up your alley! This gorgeous platformer/physics puzzler, features three unique characters, each with a special set of abilities. A sneaky bow-wielding thief, a wizard with telekinetic powers, and a strong knight in heavy armor--all of them forced to undertake a dangerous quest. Considered the contemporary platforming revelation, [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/trine]Trine is only $2.49 for the next 24 hours!

Any other day you would spend about $70 on these Scandinavian Games. Today, however, you can get each of them 75% off--that means, should you choose to grab the whole package, you'll only pay a little above $17! What to do with over $50 you just saved? Most of the games from our catalog are currently up to 50% off, so it might be a good time to get some titles off that wishlist!

Happy holidays!

JaqFrost: In English, 'Scandinavia' covers all the Nordic countries. (It's only linguistically that Finland isn't part of the Scandinavian branch of the Germanic languages.) So English differs from how the Nordic countries would internally label themselves in their respective languages.
You think maybe that's just a common misunderstanding?

It doesn't really make sense for anyone other than Scandinavians to decide what Scandinavia is. That would be like saying in Danish the USA includes Mexico, or Ireland is a part of England.

MDyzzle: Yep, we know this, and we're sorry.
We had Nordic Weekend Promo just a while back, and Viking Games earlier, so, after deciding that "Fennoscandian" isn't the greatest marketing hook, a tough decision had do be made. As a form of self-punishment, we won't be using company chauffers, masseuses, and food service for two weeks.
I'm so miffed that I'm not buying any games from this promo. I've bought them already before, but that's beside the point.

Ok, Wikipedia seems to think that it is not necessarily wrong to include Finland and Iceland to "Scandinavia", one argument being that once Finland was part of Sweden. But then, the term "Scandinavia" apparently came up in the 1800s to mean the three kingdoms (Sweden, Norway, Denmark), and at that point Finland was not part of Sweden (but rather, Russia).

That's like referring to people living in Scotland as Englishmen! No one would ever do that! I mean, do you see people in London wearing kilts and throwing logs? I certainly don't, and I've never even been to London!
Does anyone know if Alan Wake works on Windows 8? It's not listed in the compatibility list, but I'm hoping someone out there has tried it.
Guess it's Riddick time... Already have the rest.
Already got Alan Wake during the summer Steam sale when the franchise pack was $10, and got Trine from a Humble Bundle. Didn't have Chronicles of Riddick though, so I bought that. Glad I didn't get it anywhere else, wouldn't want to have to deal with TAGES.
Hmm just need to get Alan Wake American Nightmare to complete the Scandinavian Set
Riddick is a good gem.
Best daily deal so far.
Scandinavian or not, it's a great deal.
Got everything except.....Trine :P...so kill me :)

Same here, I'm trying to figure out if I can justify buying it here (have it on Steam already) and finish up today's bundle :P

assassin33: Two days in a row where I own everything already, my wallet can rest again.
Three for me, which is kind of... disappointing. I was looking forward to the sales, but they've mostly been things I already own.

Oh well. If this keeps up, I guess it just means I have more cash to buy out my wishlist at the end!

I have a feeling GOG will get the bigger titles out of the way early and will release some of the more obscure titles later on or so I hope.
