Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Serious Sam, Ghost Recon, Far Cry 1, 2, and more 60% off!

Do you like shooting things? Most gamers do, which makes the mainstream media overly excited and judgemental far too often. But let's not go there. We know that gaming shootouts are kept well-within the boundaries of virtual worlds and are all about fun, challenge, and feeling bad-ass while you relax in front of your computer screen. So, putting aside all controversy around first-person perspective shooters, let's jump right into action with 21 games that go "pew pew pew", "ra-tatatah", and "boom" for your entertainment. This weekend, you can get them with an explosive 60% off discount in our [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/fps_legends_weekend_promo_221113]Spectacular FPS Shootout promo! Let's take a look on some of the titles, shall we?

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault - War Chest takes you to the fronts of World War II and let's you take part in some of the allied forces most crucial operations. The game became famous for creating a believable and suggestive image of battle conditions with a real infantry soldier in the role of the game's hero. The War Chest edition includes the original campaign that will take you from German bases in Algiers, through the D-Day landing in Normandy, to the occupied France, and both Spearhead and Breakthrough expansions. Enlist now, for only $3.99!

Too much realism for your taste? You prefer fast-paced action with hordes of enemies coming for your bad-ass protagonist and absurdly overpowered weapons at his disposal to cut the baddies to little pieces? No problem! We've got you covered with Serious Sam: The First Encounter and Second Encounter, games that became famous exactly for the type of old-school gameplay you're looking for. Well, that and excellent epic level design. Only $ 2.39 each!

Far Cry is the game that changed the way people perceive video games, thanks to the astonishing CryENGINE. In terms of lifelike graphics, physics, advanced enemy AI, and sandbox style FPS-ing, there is "before Far Cry" and "after Far Cry". Far Cry 2 took the game realism to another level--fully destructible environment, wind, rain, day, and night that affect enemy AI, and a beautiful African setting. The game features a spectacular story presented in a huge single player campaign which takes form 40 to 70 hours to beat. Far Cry 2: Fortune's Edition contains the full Far Cry 2 game, including all previously released patches and the Far Cry 2 Fortunes DLC with additional content like new weapons and vehicles. Pick both games for only $3.99 each.

That's just a small taste of all the hardcore FPS action you can get in our Spectacular FPS Shootout promo until Tuesday, November 26, at 4:59AM GMT. Don't miss out!

(Angry German Kid) Ich wille Unreal Tournament spielen! (/Angry German Kid)
GOG, bring Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory to us... I´m waiting for it from ages...
Okay so I own way too many FPS games, and it isn't even my favorite genre. :P
Hmm, only one I don't have that I am interested in is Far Cry 2. Still haven't gotten around to playing the first one yet...
No Redneck Rampage, ROTT old & new, or Shadow Warrior 2013 on sale? Although I own 3/4 of the games I mention. It sucks that Shadow Warrior 2013 isn't on sale.

Mccy_McFlinn: I forgot to mention about how good Rainbow Six is, as well. The best way to approach it is to skip the planning completely and just control a single team in turn, creeping your way through the level. Once you're used to the level setup you can start extracting fun from the planning system should you so wish. Auto-aim helps if you're struggling as this is an old-school tactical shooter where you'll need to learn the levels to be truly effective.
I had most of my fun by activating the "no control input" or whatever it was called, so I couldn't actually directly control my team. Just try doing a plan good enough that the team succeeds on it's own. It was immensely satisfying to just watch what they were doing and only give the planning commands: "Alpha team, go!" "Snipers, open fire!"
Already own 4 games in the promo but have yet to (really) play any of them. There are two or three others in the promo that have caught my eye, but I think at this point I really need to eliminate some of the backlog, not add to it.
Thinking about picking up Far Cry 1+2 and Unreal 2. Do you think they will be cheaper during the Christmas sale as I don't need them just yet since I won't be playing them anytime soon?
Do any of the Unreal Tournament games still feature active online multiplayer? I remember having a blast on UT on PS2, and UT 2004 on PC back in 2005.

I love that there's this level of depth to the game - a shame that they nailed it so successfully first time round that there was very little room to grow into and so the series effectively died a death after Raven Shield. Whilst the two Vegas games are fun (Lockdown is woeful), they're not fun in the same way as the "real" Rainbow Six games were.

The newer games have also lost the Jools and Jops effect whereby each character in the game became important to you as you strove to protect them from each mission to the next. They were little more than avatars layered over some stats but to see Eddie Price or Homer Johnston fall in battle was to restart the level and try again.
My favorite genre!

I must give a special shout out to Blood. When it comes to pure FPS games, it is one of the best ever. This isn't nostalgia talking - I played it for the first time just two years ago.
(I don't have anything nice to say about the sequel, though.)

Personally, the only one I had back in the day was Rogue Spear, and played it to death. Later on I got my hands on one of the later ones (Vegas whatever), and I found it so sad it had become a standard shooter. I wanted my door blowing explosive charges! I wonder if there are any newer games with that original Rainbow Six feel.
