Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee

kentomatic's rating:

250

kentomatic says: A truly different game, not just for appearances but the way it plays, as well, favouring stealth and communication over running and gunning.

Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus

kentomatic's rating:

250

kentomatic says: Pretty much the same as the original, but now with a quicksave feature to make you feel a little less butthurt.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto

kentomatic's rating:

250

kentomatic says: A third-person shooter/adventure/RTS with an amazing sense of humor, second only to its spiritual successor, Armed and Dangerous. (Speaking of which, let's get on this, GOG.)

kentomatic says: A real-time strategy game where you play as a wizard who can summon tornadoes, volcanoes, earthquakes and Death himself to aid your creatures in battle. Arguably Shiny Entertainment's last great game, unless you actually liked Enter the Matrix.

MDK

kentomatic's rating:

250

kentomatic says: The title stands for "Murder Death Kill." Or is it "Mission: Deliver Kindness"? Maybe it was "Mother's Day Kisses." "Madonna Dates Kylie"? "Minister Devours Kissogram"? ...

Psychonauts

kentomatic's rating:

250

kentomatic says: A crazy little guy invades other people's minds. This was later adapted into the original screenplay for Inception.

Interstate ’76 Arsenal, The

kentomatic's rating:

250

kentomatic says: Maybe a little different from the other games featured in this mix, but afros and funk music anywhere outside of the '70s is truly bizarre.

Beyond Good and Evil™

kentomatic's rating:

250

kentomatic says: OK, you play as a photographer named Jade who has an uncle named Pey'j who's also an anthropomorphic pig, and they have to save some orphans (and also the entire planet) from an alien invasion that, secretly, has already happened.

Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition

kentomatic's rating:

250

kentomatic says: Shrink rays, (literal) pig cops, babes and snappy one-liners.

Earthworm Jim 1 + 2

kentomatic's rating:

250

kentomatic says: OK, so technically it's eleven games. Here's what's happened since EWJ was released: Shiny Entertainment is bought by Atari; David Perry goes crazy and becomes a male model; Doug TenNapel confirms and then denies the existence of EWJ4.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)

Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!

So, what are the ingredients?

Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?

Justify your choice... Or not!

OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.
