Miaghstir: Neither is "unexcelled". You can have two runners doing a 100-metre lapse, the first one clocks in at 18 seconds, the other at 25. Both are far from perfect (in fact, they're both probably cripples), but the first one is still unexcelled because the second didn't surpass his speed.

TheCheese33: Also, I was reading this away from my account from my iPhone, and there are 29 pages there, whereas when I'm logged in I only see 22. What gives?

If you want to see the correct amount of pages - don't worry - there's an app for that ;P !

I am beginning to think Microprose games will come here.
Hints about Silent, History could perhaps lead to Silent Service and CIvilization series.
Microprose was my favourite company when it was still alive, so, who knows.

Horus: Are you the husband of... MsDOS?

Fiancé, but just between you and me, I'm a little unsure of her and Dr. DOS... ;P

OK I've counted the number of stars in the picture and there is exactly 4531. If you magnify the image by 1000% you can see the tiny 1 pixel sized stars.
Now if we use a rolling alphabet to assign the numbers to a letter we end up with something very intresting.
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 89 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Now if we link the numbers to the alpahbet with single digits it spells out Deus...

There can be only one explanation.
We were lied to in 2003. Even as we mourned, crazed men and women in an undisclosed bunker in Southeast Asia labored away, sacrificing their very souls for the pursuit of excellence. And now, years later, fueled by the might of GOG, it rises from the black ashes to wreak vengeance and judgment on modern PC gaming.
Van Buren is back.

Now looking back on the hints, Ralaack was right about one thing. The stars were added. It MAY mean Dues Ex but I highly doubt that that is the BIGGEST news in GoG history unless their all huge Dues Ex fans.

Also props to the poster above for totally getting it.

I'm certain based on the clues that it's Halo. The countdown is positioned to be replaced with the letters H, A, L and O. The words unexcelled can easily refer to something from Microsoft other than Excel and the graphic would work perfectly for Halo as well. In addition, it meets the criteria for a game that was previously mentioned.
While Halo might not be the most exciting game, if Microsoft is now supporting GOG.com it would be a huge coup, as it would be an amazing signal to other publishers than the GOG.com method should be supported.
Also, Microsoft is a top 3 video game publisher by revenue: [url=]http://kotaku.com/5030320/here-are-the-top-20-publishers-in-the-business-ranked-according-to-cash-money-intake[/url]. Not sure if that's accurate for PC games, but I'm certain that would still hold for gaming revenue.

That's unlikely. MS has its own DD store now (GFWL), which is horribly overpriced compared to other DD store and also has one of the most annoying DRM system. So it's improbable that suddenly they go $9.99 and DRM-free for their most iconic franchise.
