Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods Enhanced Edition

tfishell's rating:
250

tfishell says: "[The] publisher decided to milk their rights to the series and hired an indian studio to make them an expansion for the lowest cost possible." "[If] it wasn't for the community patch this game would be absolute horror."

Master of Orion 3

tfishell's rating:
250

tfishell says: "It's so focused on ... tabs, controls, checkboxes and sliders that it doesn't [allow] you to make [choices], or if it does, it fails to [give good] feedback." "The AI controlled Governors will fight you for [every thing] you want..."

Empire Earth 3

tfishell's rating:
250

tfishell says: (2 1/2 stars) "EE III lost [EE's old style], going to [a] fast-pace RTS with little maps ... the goal [is] not playing 1 single map but conquering sectors...the result imo lacks in fun, strategy, depth..." [Not good and not old]

Crusaders of Might and Magic

tfishell's rating:
250

tfishell says: (2 1/2 stars) "There is almost no story, the role playing elements are fairly shallow, the npcs are just silly, the voice acting is terrible and the ending is disappointing." "[It's] a very linear, boring, and badly designed game."

Simon the Sorcerer 3D

tfishell's rating:
250

tfishell says: (2 1/2 stars) "[It] fell into the same trap that [many] other game series fell for: [3D]. ... [It] looks terrible[, has] bad controls [and] dumb 3D-terrain-style puzzles... [Finding] hidden stuff was brutal unless you knew where it was."

Sensible Soccer 2006

tfishell's rating:
250

tfishell says: "This is .. one the worst soccer games I have ever played[;] the developers didn´t care. *The AI is inconsistent at best, but mostly cheats. *The mechanics when taking a corner [are] broken. *The camera is [horrendous and has only one angle].

Might and Magic® 9

tfishell's rating:
250

tfishell says: "GOG appears to have included the [patch v1.03] that fixed [most] of the quest breaking bugs." "[If the bugs were fixed], [it still] would be nowhere near the older titles." "[The] story is too far removed from the [series].&

Kingdom: The Far Reaches

tfishell's rating:
250

tfishell says: "[A] wanna-be Dragon's Lair. The animation is [awful and] the voices are intolerable..." "[Game length] wasn't [long, as I played] it over the course of two evenings. [There are better choices if] you are an adventure game fan."

MegaRace 3

tfishell's rating:
250

tfishell says: "This game is bad. The racing game play is bad. [And] the commentator (Lance Boyle) [is] weird and creepy." "Sound [and music] in this game are so-so; [tough] at first and has [flaws] like not being able to save in arcade mode."

Lords of the Realm 3

tfishell's rating:
250

tfishell says: "The game is mostly about two things: hectic and pure luck. [Human] and AI all act in real time, [so] lightning-fast assignment of lords is crucial... [It's] not total rubbish, [but it] looked old and outdated [even when it was first published]...&am

Journey to the Center of the Earth

tfishell's rating:
250

tfishell says: "[Based] on Verne's famous story[, but this one] develops too slowly, [and you'll] find yourself [doing] obscure tasks..." "[Most] of the mini puzzles [were disabled] and many of the tasks [were] 'click on it to complete'."

Still Life 2

tfishell's rating:
250

tfishell says: "Loved the [Still Life 1, but this has] ...repetitive gameplay, bugs... and an unengaging story." "[It lacks] most elements that made Still Life 1 enjoyable thriller. [The] concept of [a] maniac from a C-movie makes it ... worse."

Invictus: In the Shadow of Olympus

tfishell's rating:
250

tfishell says: "It's not [new] or something that will make you go crazy but it's [fun]...." "[The] interface for ordering units to take actions was [difficult] to use. ... I wish the gameplay lived up to the description."

Earthworm Jim 3D

tfishell's rating:
250

tfishell says: "Fiddly camera controls, combat [that often has Jim] shooting off into nowhere, [and] uncreative gameplay. [Stick] to the old 2D platformers instead." "Jim's [move] to [3D wasn't good]. This game is your basic half-baked 3D platformer.&quo

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.
