Up to 80% off FPS classics: Duke Nukem 3D, Unreal Tournament 2004, SiN Gold, Aliens vs. Predator 2000 and more!

This week's Weekly Staff Picks: Silver Bullets highlight some of the biggest, baddest first person shooters ever made - at discounts up to 80% off. That's Duke Nukem 3D, Unreal Tournament 2004, Aliens vs. Predator 2000, SiN Gold and Shogo! If you missed our Rise of the Triad giveaway, no worries - it's now 80% off for the remainder of this entire bloody affair. This is as good a time to get in on the fun, as we anticipate a big, important Rise of the Triad (2013) technical update! Soon, you'll be facing off against your Steam buddies on equal terms and equal footing.

The Silver Bullets promo will last until Thursday, March 19, at 3:59 PM GMT.

*Thanks everyone! We're all out of free copies of Rise of the Triad. However, you can now get it at 80% off in the Silver Bullets promo!

Thanks for the promo and the popularity of the site! Sadly, I totally missed it, but that's totally fine by me. =D

tfishell: I'm not someone who's afraid to use cheats when necessary, so I'll probably just make use of http://www.ign.com/cheats/games/shogo-mobile-armor-division-pc-3561, if necessary.

I'm doing that with Monster Bash currently, using basically infinite lives (though I'm still trying to keep it challenging by avoiding as many hits as possible).
Not a bad idea. I never understood the hatred some people have towards using cheats, even though I rarely use them myself. I'm also pretty sure that this is the only way anyone could ever beat the "Madness" difficulty in Shogo.

I got the game on my shelf and a key to give it away. :)

The funny thing is that neither seems to work : the key gift couldn't be used by a friend and the game on my shelf lead me constantly to a 404.

There was a long time I didn't speak this much with Theodore though.

Zetikla: Dear GOG staff, please, for the love of pc gaming, fix your servers!! it should have been blatantly obvious since the fallout giveaway promo that those occasions tend to overload these, why not actually upgrading them?
I suspect it's a matter of cost effectiveness. It doesn't make sense (to them) to run a server farm that responds well to critical loads during the 5% of the year when such is needed, while lying fallow for the remaining 95%.

The best course might be for them to contract to a server provider who picks up additional load on an as-need basis. They can snapshot and clone their servers during this time and the provider hands the extra traffic, and they only pay for what they need. This obviates buying more iron for their in-house server room and supporting it year-round.

Wow, didn't expect this.

Guess I'll just get it for 80% off

Tried to click so many times on the damn button and nothing happened. Eventually the site just went down and now apparently the promo has ended. Just my luck. Oh well...

They did,
But i think they got more users since then.
Also, every giveaway attracts more new users.

So anyone else have the lichdom promo showing [free in cart $ 15.00]? Maybe something was rushed to pull the freebie down.

Maybe this was GoG's way of testing the new servers to see if we could break them this time?

Promo page should have said this "You get a free game if the servers don't break! You get a free game if the servers don't break! Everybody gets a free game if the servers don't break! "

darthspudius: some folks need to practice patience! :P
Well the new users aren't aware that emails from GOG mostly arrive fashionably late. ;)

IAmSinistar: It's snowing New Users in here. :)
It shows me as a new user and I'm register a few months before you even. Guess its based on forum posts.

BTW thanks for all your tracking work during the promos.


and thanks to moses2357 for directing me to update my settings so I don't look like a total noob.
