Hostile Waters, Guilty Gear series, Realms of the Haunting, and more Blue Moon Red Owl games 60% off.

If you live in an area with excessive winter snowfalls, it will be fairly easy for you to understand the theme of our weekend promo. White trees, white sidewalks, white roofs, white yards, white up, white down, white everywhere. Or brownish-gray, if you live in a big city. There's not much variety in winter. It's quite easy to get bored, even if every single snowflake is unique and beautiful to behold. In this mid-winter time of uniformity, one could surely use some eye-catching diversity. Our [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/blue_moon_red_owl_weekend_promo_180113]Mid-winter Variety offers just that, with a nice 60% discount rate. Let's see what can help us forget about the snow, shall we?

Let's start by melting a bit of ice with some super-hot, ultra-energetic fighting. Guilty Gear Isuka and Guilty Gear X2 Reloaded, a duplex of crazy fast-paced 2D beat-em-ups, will turn make the snow around you evaporate before you can say: "Robo-Ky Mk II". With many odd and awesome characters, each with a unique set of moves, both games should easily warm up the hearts of 2D fighting fans.

Realms of the Haunting will make you sweat with the macabre, the mystery and the metaphysical. Face many demons of the mysterious mansion standing on the threshold of an interdimensional rift and escape the flames of hell itself (even if it sounds like a nice change from all the snow) in this FPP horror adventure.

Oh, and by the way--did you know that salty water freezes in much lower temperatures than regular water? Well, it does, and that gives you yet another chance to avoid the ice. In Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising, a unique combo of a real time strategy and a fast-paced action game, you will spend most of your time on a boat, at a satisfying distance from the snow-covered shore.

That's just a few of the titles we've prepared for you in our Mid-winter Variety promo, so make sure you visit the actual promo page, and see what else could keep you occupied while you wait for the spring.

Below, you'll find this year's second episode of This Week on GOG, a short video guide to recent events, promos, and other happenings on the site. By the way, if you haven't already, you might want to follow the GOG.com channel on Youtube, so you won't miss our shows, specials, and exclusive trailers.

Have a nice weekend!

Nice promo, maybe I will finally give Soulbringer and Normality a chance, even though I can't imagine they will turn out to be my favorite games. ;)

tinyE: How does Slipstream play? It looks fun but it also looks like it may not have aged so gracefully.
Slipstream is great if you like racers like Mario Karts, it is not too difficult though so if you want something challenging this might not be a good choice.
As for the graphics, I find they still hold up pretty well but that is just my opinion.
It probably is the racinggame that has the most personallity of all racers here on GOG, the way other racers are blabbering over the comms during a race never gets old. :)

I just checked out the demo and it was definitly fun. The blockiness of the graphics was a little annoying so I put it into a window which looked better but everything was SOOOO SMALLL, so I had to go back to full screen (wrappers are too glitchy especially for racing games). Ultimatly, I'd say it's worth 2.39. Funny thing, on the review page someone writes that it is a waste of 2.39...that seems a tad extreme! :D 2.39 is less than the cost of a Happy Meal!

tinyE:
You might want to try a different output in Dosbox, I use opengl mostly and if you want to reduce blockiness further try a scaler like 2xsai or super2xsai.
I don't mind a bit of blockiness though, it comes with the old game experience. ^^

Yeah, you're right. I definitly prefer the old game experience with Duke and Shadow Warrior. I'll leave it as is. Kind of like vinyl; without the slight hiss and potential skip you somehow feel like you are missing something.
Still have the CD box of Realms of the haunting, I might get this to add to GoG :)

Thanks, that was helpful!
Oh... Bard's Tale next week, guessing the InXile one?
Looks like a great promo....however I'll wait and see if I'm lucky enough to win the 500.

Never tell me the odds

If it's anything like the Steam and iOS releases, it should be a pack that includes the original trilogy plus the 2004 game.

McDon: Oh... Bard's Tale next week, guessing the InXile one?
Yes. However, if that release is like the Steam version, it would include the three original games, turning this into a compilation release.
I've never tried Bard's Tale but I've heard it described as a dungeon crawler which I have coming out of my ears right now. Anyone care to comment on how is stacks up with other crawlers?

Zoltan999: Pretty had everything I wanted from this promo, but decided to pick up Realms anyway, after reading the reviews and comments here. Not usually a horror movie game player, but this one does looks intriguing
You made a great choice. :)

I played it many years go. It's a fantastic game. Great story, nice mix of action and adventuring/puzzles. Fun cinematics. One of the truly underrated, or overlooked games.
