If I told you which very modern game includes a surprise Descent homage, that’d be a spoiler. More »
Folks looking for a last-minute gift for fans of classic PC games might want to check out the limited-edition holiday bundles now available over at GoG.com.
Several of you have written in this morning to let us know that the early start beta for CD Projekt’s DRM-free classic PC game store Good Old Games (GOG.com) is now live, with one helpful reader sending us a screenshot of the games currently available via the service. When I first heard about the website my first thought was a giant “Why?”, but now looking over the list I begin to see their point. There is definitely potential here for me to spend a great deal of money. Descent 3 plus expansions for $US 5.99, without having to dig through a giant bin at a CompUSA somewhere? Definitely a good deal.
Consider me intrigued. Also consider me not going anywhere near the service, because I have a buying disorder that doesn’t register how many times purchases under $US 10 occur, leading to some surprising and painful math lessons once the bank statement hits. Slots are still available, so hit the link below to sign up today.

More free stuff on GameTap? Sign me up. Interplay have announced a deal with the service whereby some of their older titles – like Fallout, MDK and Descent – will be made available. And not just on the subscription service or download store, either. In the totally free, ad-supported bit as well. While I imagine most of you will head on over to give Fallout one last try before the third game hits later this year, I’d recommend a quick spin on Descent first. Only two games have ever made me literally dizzy. Even a little bit sick. But in a good way! Descent is one of them.

Interplay Entertainment sure is making a come back. Late last year they were talking about securing cash for their proposed Fallout MMO, then they set up a sexy new website and now they’re gushing about their 520 percent jump in revenue and churning out sequels.
