Farewell For Now, Duke + Last chance to get Dragonsphere free

75-90% off Duke Nukem 1+2, Duke Nukem 3D, Balls of Steel, Manhattan Project.

The Duke. Men want to be him, women want to be with him. The manliest of men, the ultimate male role model. He's been kicking ass on GOG.com for years, but on December 31 2015, Duke has to step out to get more bubble gum. On that day, all Duke Nukem games on GOG.com will be removed from our catalog, but we are in talks with the new rightsholders to bring them back as swiftly as possible. That's why we bid you a farewell for now, Duke: with every Duke Nukem game at 90% off as a bundle, or -75% individually.
The Duke's humble beginnings lie with Duke Nukem 1 + 2, two explosively cool run-n-gun platformers where Duke kicks his very first alien ass, travels in time, and authors "Why I'm SO Great" - a retrospective and autobiography. All in the year 1997, a dystopian near-future.
Years later, on January 29, 1996, our time: Duke makes history. Total meltdown follows the release of Duke Nukem 3D in which we finally see the world through the man's eyes. It's a world of pornography, violence, and candid obscenity. Duke's world. And we are entranced. By the campy risque, and by the unadulterated joy of Duke's violent adventures and one-liners.
Then, for years Duke rides the hype-train: in 1997, we behold his Balls of Steel - a pinball game warmly welcomed for its smooth, realistic physics and plenty of Duke on the side. In the year 2002, Duke goes back to basics in Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, a modern 3D sidescrolling platformer that's nothing if not a fun and mindless pleasure.
This is not where the Duke Nukem legacy ends, but it is where we part ways - for now. So Farewell, Duke! The sale will last until December 31, 10:59 AM GMT. The games will be removed from sale soon thereafter, but they will not disappear from your shelf if you're an owner.

Come get some.
Last chance to get Dragonsphere for free.
With the start of the new year, Dragonshpere will no longer be a free game on GOG.com due to new publisher agreements. If you haven't claimed a copy for yourself, make sure to do so by December 31, 22:59 PM GMT - afterwards the game will be regularly priced at $5.99.
If you haven't yet, you can also check out our catalog of gaming freebies, where you'll find classics like Beneath a Steel Sky, Biomenace, Ultima IV and ten more!

Happy Holidays from GOG.com & Bethesda

Get Bio Menace FREE, and up to 75% off Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Quake, and DOOM.

Happy Holidays from the GOG.com team!
The holiday season is here. The world, in all its little shopping frenzies and chaotic reunions, seems to slow down just a little. It slows to taste the crisp winter air, to be childishly entranced by all the lights and colors.
As for us, we're going to celebrate with a little something special.
With a new free game in our catalog: BIO MENACE, something of a mix between the smooth and joyous gameplay of Commander Keen, and the alien weirdness of the original Duke Nukem platformers. The spacey 2D shooter by 3D Realms is now part of our selection of free, truly worth playing, classics.
With a Happy Holiday Sale from GOG.com & Bethesda:
Have a holly, jolly discount. It's the best time of the year. We don't know if there will be snow, but have a cup of deal. It's up to 75% off the entire Bethesda catalog on GOG.com - including the three and only classic Fallout games, as well as some of the best shooters in history: the retro Wolfenstein 3D & Return to Castle duo, The Ultimate DOOM, DOOM II & Final DOOM alongside the Quake series (from the singleplayer gory of Quake + Quake II, through the timeless mutliplayer mayhem of Quake III). Finally, there's the chance to explore the history of The Elder Scrolls with classics like Morrowind, Battlespire, and Redguard.
As always, any purchase from the Bethesda catalog on GOG.com comes with a free copy of The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls Chapter II: Daggerfall!

Looking for last-minute gifts? There ya' go.

The sale will last until December 29, 4:59 AM GMT.
Have a happy holiday season!

Indie Piñata comes to GOG.com

Mystery Games for $3 and deals up to 80% off.
The Indie Piñata is a whacky gaming sale brought to you by Crunching Koalas and GOG.com, a weeklong celebration of diverse indie games - organised to help gamers (you) discover great indie titles without breaking the bank. Instead, we'll break the Piñata!

There's so much stuff.
There's stuff alright, with plenty of video game stuffing.
We've got a hefty selection of deals up to 80% off - all indies, all highly recommended - this includes titles like Kerbal Space Program (-33%), NEO Scavenger (-50%), Legend of Grimrock 2 (-75%), and MouseCraft (-80%), so that you can pick and choose what you play (but it's probably best to get them all just in case).

Whack your Piñata!
If you're fond of surprises, for $3 (or your local equivalent), you can grab your own 100% whackable Piñata and find a random indie wonder inside - handpicked by us and Crunching Koalas. The Piñata can include games anywhere from $9.99 to $44.99, so there's a deal (and a satisfying POP) behind every swing - and we’ll be ready to congratulate those of you who show off your discounted gains on Twitter with the hashtag #IndiePinata!

The Promo and Piñata include a completely separate batch of games, so there's plenty of variety and surprises - we'll also rotate the Promo and Piñata lineup after three days, just so that things don't get too stale. The Indie Piñata promo will last until 9/18/2015, 9:59AM GMT. Just remember - check yourself, before you whack yourself.
Batter up!

Stream watch:
It's the Indie Piñata at Twitch.tv/GOGcom, as well! We’re celebrating with tons of special promo streams. Check out the schedule to know what’s going on over the weekend, and follow our channel for 4-6 hours of awesome, daily gaming content!

Thanks for the heads up. :)

Weekend Promo: Ubisoft, Ubifine, Ubisavin'

Up to 75% off Heroes of Might & Magic III, Beyond Good & Evil, Settlers, Prince of Persia and more!
Heroes of Might and Magic is turning twenty this month - it's a hefty number for a game, though we're not exactly sure what that would be in human years. The important thing is that the series holds up just fine even today, much like these 40+ Ubisoft, Ubifine classics ripe for the picking. With discounts from 66-75% off, Ubisavin'!

Happy Birthday, Heroes of Might & Magic! You don't play a day over five. Great times we've had together; we still remember how we met back in '96 when you were still young but with so much potential. We'll never forget the way you took over our lives and our souls with Heroes of Might & Magic III either - we'd make you a best-of birthday-mixtape, but it would just end up being HoMM III on repeat. You're turning twenty this month, almost old enough for a crazy night in Vegas - but until then, we brought over some of your Ubifine friends, one of them probably snuck a beer anyway.

This party is about to go Beyond Good & Evil, and we wouldn't Settlers for anything less. The Prince of Persia is bouncing off the walls topless, while Splinter Cell is still being a wallflower. Come on in, this is still a Far Cry 2 from being over...
With over 40 names on the guestlist, check out our Weekend Promo: Ubisoft, Ubifine, Ubisavin' up to 75% off! The discounts will last until Wednesday, August 19, 12:59 PM GMT.

The weekend promotion is still up:

Weekend Promo: Gamescom Adventure

Up to 90% off Blackwell, Gemini Rue, Deponia, Blackguards 2, The Raven and more!

It's Gamescom week! All eyes are turned towards the big guys and the smaller players for a sneak peek at the next year in gaming. We too are watching with anticipation to see what new gaming adventures, trials, and exciting tribulations await us in the not so distant future. While we watch and listen, these four days are all about some of the awesomest adventures you have to catch up on - it's our sorta-extended Gamescom Adventure with deals up to 90% off!

It's a weekend filled with adventure from some of the best in the biz! Two titans - Deadelic and Wadjet Eye Games - come together each with their own unique flavor of classic point and click adventure. From Wadjet Eye's classically pixelated tales are gems like the famous, supernatural Blackwell series, or the dystopian cyberpunk story of Gemini Rue (will you see the twist coming?). For an even more twisted story of a post-apocalyptic humanity, check out Dead Synchronicity, a game that has at one point been described as "Guybrush meets Mad Max meets 12 Monkeys".

Then, there are the Daedalic adventures - games from a team that has nearly perfected the modern point and click. You can't not try the Deponia trilogy, featuring beautiful cartoony graphics and heaps of brilliant humor, all set on a garbage filled planet known as Deponia - full of gadgets, gizmos, and the weirdest most likeable gang of characters you'll meet. Though it's not quite your standard - there's plenty of pointing, clicking, and adventure to be had in the critically acclaimed Blackguards 2, a completely hexy, turn based, tactical RPG which will either break you or excite you with its plethora of fresh tactical options.

Joining the adventure is also The Raven - Legacy of a Master Thief with a special Linux premiere! This point-and-click adventure from the creators of The Book of Unwritten Tales embodies everything that made crime mystery novels so popular.

Ready for the show - it's our extended Gamescom Adventure - with 25+ tales and trials on sale at up to 90% off. The promo will last until Tuesday, August 11, 3:59 AM GMT.

Release: Tales from the Borderlands

Release: Tales from the Borderlands
19 hours ago
Welcome to Pandora, kiddos.
TALES FROM THE BORDERLANDS, a Telltale adventure Gearbox game, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com - and it’s just as awesome and gun-filled as you would expect.
"I wish they took all the boring talky parts out of my Borderlands," said no one ever.
"Let's do the opposite of that," said the CEOs of Telltale Games and Borderlands, both of whom are good at making things you like. So break the internet Handsome Jack, TALES FROM THE BORDERLANDS is what you get when the zany world of Pandora gets to be weird in the spotlight!
If you are familiar with Telltale's signature adventure style you know exactly what to expect: beautiful, true to the original, art and a hilariously gripping story to shape with every act, decision or indecision.
Not long after the events of Borderlands 2, you will take control of a Hyperion hopeful and a native con-artist working the streets of Pandora. On their adventures you'll meet familiar faces and non-faces, including the titillating Mad Moxxi, Zer0 (still as a number), and the torturously Handsome Jack.
The intrigue is still unraveling, and the all the random guns are still being generated (it simply wouldn't be Borderlands without all the random guns, would it?), so pick up the entire season today and join us in waiting for the next exciting and DRM-free TALES FROM THE BORDERLANDS episode, available at 50% off for 72 hours, or until June 22nd, 11:59 GMT.
What does the press say?
“This is a story full of Borderlands’ trademark humor” -- IGN
“If you like the idea of back-flipping onto a speeding caravan or slicing open a giant dog monster with a katana? This is exactly your speed.” -- GamesRadar

GOG

Thanks for the update Graylox. Pity that I already have e very Telltale game in my Steam account, I'm starting to regret putting most of my games into one client. I've been having problems with my internet provider recently. The annoying thing about most of the games I have linked to my Steam account, if i'm not connected and I haven't already selected to play offline while I was online, I'm unable to play 95% of the games i have on my Steam account (that's well over 5000). At least I can play my GOG games anywhere anytime without internet connection (once I've downloaded the executable)

Telltale Games coming to GOG.com

Complete with GOG Galaxy support!

A time of DRM-free Telltale games is upon us. We signed the deal, and we're set to start releasing past and future games from the award-winning adventure game developer! All of the games will premiere with full GOG Galaxy support which includes Achievements, and more of the goodness like one-click installation, auto-updating, game time tracking and more!
The first adventure is available today: GAME OF THRONES: A TELLTALE GAMES SERIES at 40% off during launch, right on schedule for the worldwide premiere of Episode 4: Sons of Winter.
GAME OF THRONES: A TELLTALE GAMES SERIES is your chance to not just watch or read about the pathological madness, but to experience and play it out with your own personal touch. This Telltale Game series tells the story of an all-new House of Forrester located somewhere in the north reaches of Westeros. As the War of Five Kings rages, your family is caught in the maelstrom of warfare, revenge, intrigue and horror, in a struggle not to win… but to survive. GAME OF THRONES: A TELLTALE GAMES SERIES is a brand new side-story that bumps into familiar characters, and weaves across events known from the TV series which echo across the entire known world.
Soon, we'll tell more Telltale tales with The Wolf Among Us, Tales from the Borderlands, and and all seasons of The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series. Stay tuned!

Promo: Bundle Tower

A rising tower of discounts and new stuff daily, today we lay The Foundations.
So we had all these awesome bundles lying around, and we're thinking of what to do with 'em. They all just happen to be square (cubical even, if you squint and use your imagination), and one day our Promo-Master starts stacking them on top of each other thinking little of it. It's a long story. One thing led to another, things escalated quickly, and here we are now:

We're building a tower of bundles. With six days, new stuff every day, and discounts up to 85% off! Our DRM-free stonemasons begin the construction by laying down the very foundations of PC gaming: RPGs and Adventures (a fitting start for a tower of games).
The Foundations
A rock-solid four bundles. Hasbro RPG classics (including Planescape: Torment, Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale) and the Divinity Trilogy (Divine Divinity, Beyond Divinity, Divinity 2) are available 80% off.
In the meantime, Lucasfilm Adventures at 70% off (Sam & Max Hit the Road, Secret of Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis), and a 75% off the entire Broken Sword Saga (in one bundle with Broken Sword 5 for the first time!), are just a point-and-click away. Of course, you can always get each game from the bundle individually at a slightly smaller discount.
Every 24 hours, we'll be unveiling new floors with up to 4 new bundles - some of them will even include completely fresh GOG.com game releases. Beyond that, the tower is a mystery, so it's worth the daily trip to see all news, intrigue, and even a mystery final offer. The Bundle Tower will be growing ever taller and stay open until Sunday, April 19, at 12:59 PM GMT. ...

Though nobody posted about GOG.com for a while, the site is going strong.
Very strong.
There are nearly every day news, new games, new sales or new features, even new disappointments.
A new feature is a German site; the big annoyance is, that there are regional locked games now.
You could call that censorship. Yes it is just that, however not GOG is the big censor, but national laws enforce this action. At the moment Australia (1 game) and Germany (2 games) are hit by it.
GOG is now one of the big players in the games business and can't fly any longer under the radar of national law authorities.

Just now started a much loved and at the same time much hated sale:

Insomnia returns to GOG.com.

Have a good festive time, may it be Hanukkah or
Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Saint Nicholas Day, Eid'ul-Adha, Fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Lucia Day, Christmas Day, Three Kings Day/Epiphany, Boxing Day , Kwanzaa, Omisoka, Winter/Summer solstice, Birthday ...

If you don't already own the Witcher 2 it's well worth coming back each day. also for one day only you can get the excellent Mount & Blade for free.

I did although it doesn't look like it needs to be 7 days in a row. I think it just needs to be 7 days. You can get one each day and the sale lasts for 14 days. Personally, I have The Witcher 2 & have watched The Gamers on youtube (not sure what the director's cut adds if anything). BTW GOG has several movies now including a couple of free ones. Most of the movies are also currently on sale; generally 40% to 50% off.

thanks for the info.

Did ya'll notice further down on the web page is another promo. Get the The Witcher 2 + The Gamers: Director’s Cut FOR FREE. You just have to come back 7 days in a row and click the box each time.

Thanks Campy!
It seems to be a real great sale again with a lot of temptations and a lot of gifts.
