Yannos: Indeed, this isn't a good old game ... it's a fantastic old game :-)

Ahh, so it is a FOG then?

Will it somehow widescreen resolutions? Often is a game killer for me nowadays, especially in 1st person games.
Posted January 27, 2009
You can pick widescreen modes from the ingame options. Atleast on my physical copy of the game.

This is quite the surprise. I passed on this game back in the day, just because of other titles that took precedence. Now I have a chance to make up for those decisions.
Question though: Isn't anything that isn't categorized as a "new release" technically old?
Hmmm....

It sounds vaguely oxymoronic, doesn't it??

Painkiller. Simply over the top action/fun. Great game if you want a more recent FPS.

Never played it, but for years I've heard only good opinions about it. Now its time for me to buy it, especially after Yahtzee's review :P
Posted January 27, 2009
This is probably my favourite game of all time - and if not, it's at least in my top 5. Also, I can legitimately say I liked it before it was cool*! I've never been able to say that about anything! Now I love it even more!
I already own it (twice), though. Still, recommended to absolutely everybody who owns a computer. It's a work of art.
*i.e. before Yahtzee got to it

Yes, yes, yes, yes!!!! Oh my gosh, thank you so much GoG!! In Poland I bought that game twice but then I moved to US and forgot to take it with me. Now I brag to my friends about this awesome Polish game but they do not believe me. Now I can fulfill my dreams!! Yes, you indeed are fantastic, GoG!! Good job!

HOLY ****.
After buying most of the games that interest me, I've been beating around the bush, constantly putting off buying games in the catalog that only vaguely interest me.
Now that deadlock has been broken by the release of a game I have REALLY wanted to play. Now I don't have to get the Steam version. Bought. Thanks GoG!

This game is only 4 years old. Why is it on good OLD games? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a site where you can pick up old games that are hard to find/get working and buy them (with additional customer support - thanks GOG)?
Personally I don't think this should be here and it's going to attract people to the community who are going to bitch and moan about how there aren't enough "games with good graphics" or "[x (game)] isn't here! It should be! It came out last year!" promoting the change from the current site into just another Steam or Direct2Drive site. I think that's counter-intuitive to the whole purpose of this site, is it not?
And yes, I see the irony of me bitching about how there should only be old games while denouncing people from doing almost the polar opposite.
And perhaps I'm seeing the title of the site wrong. Maybe something that is 4 years old IS old in the site owners eyes. If so, all power to ya. I just figured the site was to enable people to get those games that were no longer in publication and couldn't work without the assistance of programs like DOSbox etc. [edit: Obviously I'm not referring to ALL old games that require things like this, but it's an example]
*shrug*
Just my two cents.
