Atlantis series, Dracula series, Syberia 1&2, MegaRace 1-3, Moto Racer 1-3, and more Anuman games 70% off!

Here's a thing about coincidences: they happen. And when they do happen, they sometimes produce awkward outcomes. Seeing that we're offering a whole bunch of classic fan-favorite racing games, as well as some awesome adventure titles on one big sale, we decided to call the promo [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/anuman_promo_061213]Fast and Adventurous. How clever of us, isn't it? A play on the Fast and Furious movie series title and the prominent game genres in the promo--seemed just perfect. Then, a day after we approved the title and made it final, came the news: Paul Walker and his driver died tragically in a car crash. Imagine, how stupid we felt. Now, all we can do, is to assure you that we meant no disrespect and many of us are big fans of Paul Walker's the over-the-top spectacular movie series. We're going to miss the man who made such a great job of entertaining so many people.

But we're here for the games, aren't we? 20 Anuman Interactive games get a 70% off discount. Let's have a look at some of them, shall we?
So, let's start with the "adventurous". The stories of the lost land of have filled our imagination with amazing visions for ages. The adventure games fueled by those vision can set the mood for further exploration of the unknown. [url=http://www.gog.com/game/syberia]Syberia, although it can be seemingly easy located on a map, is no less mysterious and strange than Atlantis. At least in the phenomenal point-and-clicks by the visionary Benoît Sokal, it is.

If adventures aren't really your thing, and you're here for the "fast" part, you'll enjoy the classic futuristic racing titles MegaRace 1+2 and Megarace 3--all presented in oddly charming TV game-show aesthetics. There's also some of more traditional racing, with just two wheels this time, in the Moto Racer, Moto Racer 2, and Moto Racer 3 fan-acclaimed series.

That's only a part of our weekend promo. Head out to the promo page to see the whole list, pick your favorites, and grab them 70% off. The offer lasts until Tuesday, December 10, at 4:59AM GMT.

I think Dracula 3 only.

I could live with that... Especially because I have a Windows 8 notebook avaible for me if I wanted to try it.

I already bought it, but I did so mostly for Dracula 1 and 2. Thanks for your responses.

Just added the following to my collection.

Iron Storm : The one I added last because of some of the bad reviews, but I'm a sucker for alternate history.

Post Mortem : I stopped playing Still Life at a puzzle that has no reason to be except to slow down the game, maybe this one will put me back in the mood to go back to it.

Return to mysterious island: Not sure why I added it, the decision was more like "Why not?"

Atlantis 3: The new world : The whole series looks great, I don't know why I haven't bought them before
Atlantis 2: Beyond Atlantis
Atlantis: The Lost Tales

Moto Racer 3
Moto Racer 2
Moto Racer : Was just waiting for a good sale to grab those, I almost skipped 3.

Megarace 3 : I blame my completionist instincts.

Robin Hood: The legend of Sherwood : I was intrigued by tinyE's description.

Haegemonia Gold Edition: The description makes me hope for space opera type battles.

Syberia 2 : Completionism strikes again. I still haven't played the first one.

Now I just have to wait for my ISP to add the extensions I requested as I only have about 10G capacity left and this will bust it and I still have to plan for normal use and next weekend.
Moto Racer is awesome. There just are not enough motorcycle racing games around. No love for two wheels in this world!

Also, I remember Amerizone got a pretty awful review from PC Gamer when it came out. I think it was under 10%? What was the deal with that? I haven't had the chance to try it out yet, but I was always wondering if it was really as awful as they say, or if I could just account that to the decline in "professional" reviewing.
Thanks GOG for adding the recently released games to your newsletter.

I do believe it has indeed received a poor score here and there, but general consensus about Amerzone is that it's a solid, atmospheric point and click adventure, albeit a very short one. I played it when it was first released, and I still remember it very vividly, in a good way. It is indeed quite short - you'll most likely complete it in one sitting - but it will draw you in and make a lasting impression. The major complaint I had at the time was that Amerzone is severely underpopulated. It really focuses on atmosphere, exploration and puzzles, and you'll meet exactly one NPC in each area / chapter. Also, it plays in first person perspective, which I usually dislike, so it can be a turn off as well.

Bottom line is: if you liked Sokal's Syberia series, his earlier work is definitely worth checking out, especially for this price. Just be aware that it's short, and is more Myst-like than Longest Journey-like.

This game is awesome. Everyone should buy it. Also, everyone should buy Desperados.

We need Chicago 1930 here. :p
I didn't think it was stupid, I thought it was sweet and intentional, an "in memory of" sort of thing honoring someone who lived fast and adventurously and made movies that entertained millions. R.I.P. Paul Walker.

As for the promo itself, woot! Dracula, Haegemonia, and Sherwood? Awh yeah! At that price it's worth seeing if I can make Robin Hood run on a Mac again. The old CD no longer works on Intel processors, sooo Wine here I come.

Chicago sucks, to be honest. It has very binary enemy AI. Either it's hostile or it's not.

Huh? Same as in Desperados. :p
Nice sale, but I have already both Syberia on Steam and no other game draw my interest, sorry..Wishlisted Demon Stone - Forgotten Realms for half a year already, waiting for this one by 2014 at least half price, pls, GOG!! :(

Nope. Desperados has a very "analogue" con of view. Many different states of attention come to mind.

For example, if you knock down a guard and hide his body, some other guard might get curious about what happened to him. It doesn't mean he will rise alert of any kinds. He may sweep the area, he may alert some nearby guards, depending on a situation. Or when you run past his eye sight, he will be more alerted than when you walk past it casually.

Really., in Chichago there aren't even any cones of sight.

Chicago is the weakest Commados clone of them all.
