Wadjet Eye Selection for only $8.96, Kain and Raziel Saga for only $5.96

The 13th day of our [url=http://www.gog.com/NoDRMSummer]2013 #NoDRM Summer Sale, brings out some mysterious and ominous vibes in the middle of idyllic summer. There are some dark and blasphemous forces at move, forcing the dead to roam the Earth as elusive apparitions and driving the lust for blood in the monstrous denizens of forbidden planes. Scared yet? You should be. Vampiric lords and restless souls are ready to take over your computer screen. Don't be alarmed--all that they're looking for is some quality time in our realm. Play their games, and they'll leave you be. Oh, who are we kidding! You'll be coming back for more as soon as the thrill wears off. Let's see what's on the menu.

Wadjet Eye Games excel in point-and-click adventures that sport classic pixelated look that pleasantly tickles our nostalgia and deliver some deep, complex, mature, and thought provoking stories. In today's Wadjet Eye Selection bundle you get Resonance, Primordia, Gemini Rue, and Blackwell Bundle, for the amazing price of only $8.96! You did notice the Blackwell *Bundle* part of the deal, right? In this amazing package you get not one, but four Blackwellspirited crime & mystery games. A bundle within a bundle, what is this madness?! Well, that's no madness, unless you pass on such a great deal. With the 80% discount rate it would be mad.

Going even deeper through the sphere's of insanity, we reach Nosgoth, the ancient land of wicked evil and dark desires. Visit it quick, before the swarms of tourists show up making a mess of the place while calling each other "noobs". In our Kain and Raziel Saga bundle, you get Legacy Of Kain: Blood Omen 2, Legacy Of Kain: Defiance, Soul Reaver, and Soul Reaver 2 for only $5.96. That's 75% off on your last-chance ticket to the authentic Nosgothian experience.

All of the above offers last for the next 24 hours, that is until Monday, July 1, at 12:59PM GMT. Enjoy our #NoDRM Summer Sale, and drop by tomorrow for more massive discounts and gaming excitement!

Today's pretty dangerous for my wallet. Both bundles look pretty good.

EDIT: Both bundles bought. My wallet now despises GOG even more.

I own both of these bundles, the Wadjet Eye games are really nice in my humble opinion.

I just wonder when GOG will announce the new publisher. I am looking forward to it, but the anticipation is nearly killing me.

Ok, I've never owned or played any of the Legacy of Kain games.
I did some reading on them and the story sounds very interesting, but I'm not much of an action games player, mostly because I get stressed out.

From what I've read, the games are classified as featuring elements of action (like a lot, I gathered), puzzle-solving and exploration. There was also mention of some RPG elements as well.

So, I have a couple of questions:
-- How important are the non-action elements for the development of the story and in what ways are they used to progress it?
-- Does one feel like there's balance among the elements or are the games strongly action-focused (like fight-fight-fight and once in a blue moon do something else)?
-- Would someone who's not good or a fan of action-focused games (as I've described myself) enjoy them?

Thanks ahead for any replies.

Not exactly. Bundles that didn't appear so far will show up even if they contain games from those 4 companies, and if they repeat the bundles once more in the last day like they did on the Xmas promo those bundles will come up too.
TurnipSlayer said so (http://www.gog.com/forum/general/last_chance_to_get_60_games_50_off_each_in_the_nodrm_summer_sale/post15).

The puzzles and the RPG elements? Not really important to the story.
The Soul Reaver games lean towards the puzzles. Blood Omen 2 is more combat-heavy and puzzles are simple and there are not many of them. Defiance is action-heavy in Kain's levels and puzzle-heavy in Raziel's.
Considering how the story is the name of the game and it's nothing short of awesome, I think you will enjoy it.

He (that link)was referring to the Arma and Legacy of Kain bundles .Not to the games which have gone off sale which includes the Thief series which is back at its regular pricing. If im wrong , fine. Thats my interpretation of what was said.
