    I'm trying to remember a time before "too many games".

    Think I may as well get this since I have the account with all the free games.

    What is this blasphemous website? Freespace 2?! Theme Hospital? Might and Magic?

    Mother of GoG...

    You didn't know about GOG? Also yes get Freespace 2, then get the Freespace Open engine for it. Freespace 2 in high res :) Plus all the really nice fan campaigns.

    Also it's all DRM free if that kinda thing is something you care about.

    I had already bought it but I checked it out anyway and ended up getting The Witcher 2 and UT99 :( Meh, for $12 and $5 it's not too bad, at least until I see deals are on tomorrow.

    Man I logged into my GoG account to claim Duke Nukem and suddenly remember I had bought Icewind Dale 1 and 2 from them last Christmas. Sweet.

    Hmmm, Tomb Raider trilogy for $4.99? Interesting.... Damn it! This idea to lure us in with a free game is working.

    Already have the game but downloaded it for the brother since I know he'd be looking for it.

    Anyways, download this and get the Hi-Res pack

    Damn, I think I shall be investing some money there after exams. I'm itching to try an RPG as I've never really played any of the 2D ones (the likes of Fallout 1, 2, Baldurs Gate, NVN, Planescape etc) - any recommendations?

    Looking through the site is a a great trip down memory lane - Sanitarium, XIII, Fahrenheit, Kingpin: Life of Crime, Desperadoes, AND THEY HAVE SOUL REAVER!

    Icewind Dale, Icewind Dale, Icewind Dale! Runs on the same engine as Baldurs Gate but just clicks more for me - better setting, better characters, better story.

    Do I have to buy it 3 times?! :D

    My wishlist is about $22 dollars now for Icewind Dale 1 and 2 (It would be rude to say no, at that prices) and the Legacy of Kain games. Roll on exams and the completing of such!

    I think it's funny how Steam have the Legacy of Kain games for €9.99 and they're only €2.99 on GoG.

    Got Duke Nukem, gonna pick up Soul Reaver and probably some other games as well - so much for a free game:D

    It's actually in dollars so cheaper again! You'll get all 4 games for 11.96$. Can't say fairer than that.

    It's only because of the Christmas sale. They were similarly priced up till yesterday, although still in dollars so maybe a Euro or two cheaper.
