Sunday Comics: Dead Island For the next two days, the classic post-apocalyptic RPG Fallout will be a free download from Good Old Games. Looks like it’s time to explore the wastes again.
Good Old Games booth babes, as spotted by our own intrepid Stephen Totilo, might not be what you were expecting. But now that you’re here shouldn’t you sit down for a spell and have something to eat. Stop slouching!
The entire site of Good Old Games, the online seller of classic – and DRM-free – video games, has been taken offline and replaced with a message saying the service has been closed.
Today, Outcast was released on retro downloadable games service Good Old Games. It’s only $US5, so I’m going to recommend it to almost everyone. And not because it’s a good game.
Welcome to the second Two-Player Mode debate, where I lock horns with Screen Play editor and veteran games writer Jason Hill to assess, analyse and argue a burning industry issue.This time we turn our attention to digital distribution in the wake of the announcement of OnLive. We ask what are the potential consequences for the rest of the industry, for the PC as a platform and the three console makers? And could it spell the death of the traditional retail model?Hit the jump for the full exchange.
I think we’ll be writing about Good Old Games a lot in 2009, if moves like this are anything to go on. Especially when those moves entail Beneath A Steel Sky being offered for free.
CD Projekt’s classic gaming revival service has opened its doors to the public, as Good Old Games moves into the open beta phase. Now everybody can head over to the website at http://www.gog.com and spend their money on DRM-free versions of popular older titles, instead of just those select few privileged enough to attain a closed beta slot.
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.
