La vie est grande juste comme GOG.com!
Iron Storm was on my wish list, so I'll definitely be picking that up.

Let me ask, if you could only get 1 game would you get Amerzone or Syberia (1 or 2) and why?
I'm trying to get more into the point and click adventure games, and all of these look pretty good. I don't really know enough about them (besides watching some Youtube videos) so any feedback would be appreciated.
Amerzone seems to have some really nice graphics, but Syberia looks like it might have a better story line. But again, I'm not really sure.
The first Syberia was pretty enjoyable for me. I recommend that one. The second Syberia was less enjoyable. I got stuck on it and never finished it. The story took a dive for me too.

If I remember correctly, Amerzone has consistently been at the bottom of the GOG sales list, apparently for a reason. Not played it myself, but from what I've heard, it's not out-and-out awful, just not very interesting, short, and like most adventure games, has low replayability.

I like adventure games and I personally would give Syberia I a 7.5-8.0 out of 10. It was good, but I wasn't "Oh wow this is over-the-top cool!!" A good buy on sale though.
Good promo, picked up Siberia 2 and Still Life
Excellent, I can replace my cd version of Amerzone and pickup Haegemonia and thankfully I'm not tied to buying all (have all from gog bar three I don't want) to get the 50% off. Damn and I was saving up for a new coat for winter. Guess I'll have to walk a bit faster this winter.

Cool, not an "up to" sale!

I'll pick up Megarace 1+2. #3 got pretty bad reviews, so I'll avoid it. Same for Iron Storm.

I already have Syberia 1&2, would recommend them to anyway, especially #1.
Already own MegaRace 1+2 and Syberia 1+2 .

Go for Syberia, definitely. I've heard, Sokal disowned Amerzone, must be for a reason. It cant be that bad, just Syberia is better, probably.
Oooh. I've been eyeing those Megarace games soley for that weirdo that shows up in the videos.

I already own both Syberia games (in a budget collector pack) and Iron Storm (boxed but it has no manual).

I may pick up Still Life.

I have played all 3 of these to completion and my hands-down choice is Syberia 1. Amerzone doesn't come close to being as immersive and you really should play Syberia 1 before Syberia 2.
GAMES FOR THE GAME PILE

I was thinking about getting a new copy of Syberia to give it a second chance...
Nice promo.
Iron Storm looks intriguing, but I'm not a hard-core FPS player, and I've read it's unforgivingly difficult, so I'll have to give it some consideration.

I actually didn't see much difference between Syberia 1 & 2, for me it was one game artificially divided into two parts. I enjoyed both games a lot, they looked quite fine, too. The only thing that little annoyed me was that I cannot make the character run faster. I was used to how it was done in The Longest Journey, where you could hold Esc and April would almost immediately appear when I clicked. I usually didn't use it at the first time I went somewhere but in adventure games you have to visit a lot of places repeatedly so waiting to get somewhere while seeing the same scenery repeatedly is a little annoying.

But, after all, it's just nitpicking. For me the game was great, riddles weren't ridiculous and the atmosphere was just as it should be. After all, I wouldn't buy this game twice if it weren't worth it. ;) (now I have "boxed" Polish & GOG's English versions)
I too hate you for taking my money every promo, I haven't even installed the old games yet!
Kidding aside you guys rock. ;)
