I thought from the title it was going to be a submarine game. Looks interesting, I do like Commados so i may just give this a go.
Well... good promo I guess. I think I'll just grab it now. Not because I really wanted to play this game. Just for another reason.

Trilarion: A promo on a monday? I am confused, the old rules carved in stone seem to be not valid anymore. On what can one rely anymore? Okay, I guess I just don't follow the GOG promos as I used to. :)))
Isn't it always promo on monday? what I know is something like this:

Monday - Promo (Classic)
Tuesday - Release
Wednesday - Promo (Indie)
Thursday - Release
Friday - Weekend Deals

or was it different ? I am not an early user of GOG. So I don't know if it used to different from current schedule.

The Monday promos were introduced sometime in the last year. Before that, there was 1 gem promo per week, on Wednesdays.

Oh. I see. That is why some users might still wondering why there is promo on Monday...

Hm, my timing seems to have been wrong, which shows how fast time flies in the GOG forum.
Monday Gem Promos were introduced on February 4, 2013, with Street Fighter Alpha 2 being the first one. What I was recalling as happening last year was the change from 1st and 3rd Wednesday to every Wednesday, which happened on the 25th of July, 2012 with Darkstone promo.

But considering there are people who think GOG still means Good Old Games, and are asking why Good New Games or Good Indie Games are released here, it doesn't surprise me that the schedule guidelines are not yet known by all.

A few typos :)

GOG.com: "The flame of World War II shines | burns brighter than ever"
"You'll have to use your squad's abilities"
"physics-based havoc"
The game looks interesting anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwPLKud0rP4&t=283
Nice promo, Silent Storm is a really good game. However...
Perhaps there will be other reports now whether or not they got stuck on a particular mission in Sentinels

Still stuck in there, haven't been able to find a working solution.

In my time we shot marbles into holes in the ground we dug ourselves by hand!

You had marbles?! Oh, you lucky capitalist. All we had was potato balls and we had to carve them ourselves. With our teeth! Then we threw them on the minefield, so at least we didn't have to make the holes by hand.

Oh, and thanks for a fine promo today and taking more of my money. I cannot afford any more marbles because of you people!
