Rebellious JC Denton or death-dealing Mr 47? What kind of hero will you be today?

GOG.com is proud to announce that Square Enix is the newest heavyweight addition to our ever-growing GOG.com catalog of great games. SquareEnix is one of the biggest publishers of the modern gaming world with almost 30-years of experience and famous releases for every single existing gaming system.

Deus: Ex Game of the Year Edition and Hitman: Codename 47 are the first titles we’re releasing from Square Enix, and they're available today for $9.99 and $5.99 respectively. Both games were originally released by Eidos in 2000, but not a single drop of greatness has been lost since then. Deus Ex is a magnificent blend of remarkable storytelling, RPG customization, and action-packed shooting. With all GOG.com’s heart we recommend Deus Ex for $9.99 as one of the most captivating and rewarding games ever. EVER! Hitman, a demanding stealth/action/planning game, created a now-iconic bald assassin Mr 47. With a vague name and a vague past, Agent 47 at least has a clear goal: eliminate the target at all costs. For you, the cost of Hitman: Codename 47 is $5.99.

There are a few more heroes from SquareEnix, that deserve a special treatment from GOG.com, and we will be announcing them in coming weeks. Today, it’s time to shave your head and buy an AMT Hardballer or wear sunglasses at night and save the world from the Illuminati.

You decide what kind of hero you want to be.

SirCabbage: Actually, there was nothing wrong with the (FFVIII) port. It can be patched to work on vista and 7 64bit.

Whats better is, the patch also allows for mods, increased resolution, and windowed settings.

The port itself contained higher rez movie files then the psx version, and a copy of chocobo world which was originally only a Japan only bonus.

Add in the fact that the controls are actually pretty easy to remember (eaiser then if you emulated it) and its pretty good.

Bodkin: !!!!! Oh yes please.
You have no idea how much I've played Urban Chaos, instead of GTA. :)

Good game, don't know if it holds up today.

Congrats to GOG on landing another big publisher!

To all those complaining that these games were already available on other sites, please keep in mind that this is the first time they are available without DRM and with all their extras.

Hrm.

Deal. Theif is pretty awesome too.

Great Scott!

This is awesome! I just bought "Deus Ex" and "Hitman". Thanks GOG!
I'm really looking forward to "Anachronox" and "Omicron" now. ;-)

Oh, and to those that are complaining about the price for "Deus Ex": What's wrong with you? 10 dollers is about as cheap as it gets (Steam release costs the same) but here it's without DRM. The game is so good, I would still pay full price to get it!
Seriously, it's one of the best games ever - for any system!

I already have both Hitman and Deus Ex.

I'd want to see these EIDOS games out on GoG :

-Thief Gold and 2
-Startopia
-Revenant
-Urban Chaos
-Terracide
-Deathtrap Dungeon


... does SCi games are counted as Square/Enix/Eidos games?

No better Chinese New Year gifts than this. ;-)
Thanks GOG!

What about general quality? Gamespot score for PC version of FF VII is 8.0 while PSX version is 9.5

SLP2000: First time DRM free, just saying.
not much of an argument when there was never really any DRM to write home about on these games... we're not talking about a UbiSoft GameLauncher type of thing here.

prices are barely acceptable, IMO. Hitman should really be $5.99 max (which it is) since you can get the entire collection of all 4 games for something like $10 off Ebay, sealed and delivered.

DE is a bit overpriced, IMO, considering you can easily get the double pack including Invisible War for around $10 as well.

since i already own both games on disc i'll pick them up at a discount sometime.
