Despite being almost completely different, these two games have at least two things in common. For one thing, both will see you shifting between two completely different realms. In The Longest Journey it will be between stark reality and a fantasy dream-world. In Sanitarium, on the other hand, you'll be plunged into an insane world like from a madman's nightmare, with just a few flashbacks of reality to keep you sane... Somewhat. Most importantly, though, they're both great adventure titles which you can now get 50% off, regardless of whether you buy one or both of them. If you haven't played them yet, you won't get a better chance than right now.
Another World is a platformer, created in 1991 by Eric Chahi. For many of you it may have been the most memorable title of your earliest gaming years. The 15th Anniversary Edition is a recreated version of of the game, which lets you re-experience it through higher-resolution graphics or, if you prefer, just play the oldschool VGA version. The game is quite challenging (remember those map screenshots that took up two pages of a '90s gaming magazine?), but with twice as many checkpoints it's a lot easier than it used to be. Whether you played the original or not, you can't go wrong by getting this title and reliving the glory days of computer gaming.
Empire Earth II is a real-time strategy game which lets you recreate some of the most pivotal moments in history, both ancient and recent. The Gold Edition contains the main game and its expansion, The Art of Supremacy. Combined, they offer seven single player campaigns, spanning over four thousand years of actual history, with a few decades of believable sci-fi afterwards. Fans of the first Empire Earth game will not be disappointed with EE2, as it both retained all the strong points of its predecessor and added a ton of new features and improvements, making the game more complex, challenging and ultimately more satisfying to play.
If you've been reluctant to try out UFO: Aftershock and UFO: Aftermath until now thinking "But it's not X-COM", why not give them a shot this time, now that they're both dirt-cheap? There are enough similarities to make you feel right at home, but with all the additions and the fantastic real-time/active pause combat system, they're in many respects an improvement, even though they belong to a whole different series! Until Monday, March 15 at 11:59 p.m. EDT, we're giving you a 50% discount if you buy both games or if you already have one and buy the other. If you buy only one game, you'll get a 30% discount.

Gabriel Knight 3 is a 3D point-and click adventure game. While the classy 2D graphics, or the well-orchestrated FMV sequences of its predecessors may be missed, GK3 fared the transition from 2D to 3D very well. The primary upside is that the in-game environments are now more interactive and open to exploration, much like in the newer Tex Murphy games. The storyline is as deep and complex as ever, filled with dark secrets and unfathomable conspiracies. Four years after GK2, Gabriel Knight - the Schattenjäger - is pitted against a breed of evil he has never faced before, when an exiled prince asks him to protect his newborn son from what appear to be vampires...
