Heroes of Might and Magic series, Farcry 1&2, Prince of Persia series, Settlers 3, and many more Ubisoft games 50% off, until Tuesday, May 21 at 3:59AM GMT

So, we've heard you like variety. We can relate, everyone loves browsing and picking their favorites. That's why we thought Ubisoft catalog would make for a terrific weekend promo. You can pick and mix from a selection of about 40 [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/ubisoft_weekend_promo_170513]Top Ubisoft Titles, 50% off this weekend. Games of all age, shape, and size await you in the promo page. Whatever your taste in games might be, you'll find something nice and exciting to make your weekend more entertaining. Let's take a quick look at one or two titles, shall we?

Heroes of Might and Magic is a game series so prominent, that it surely needs no introduction. In fantasy turn-based strategies it's quite hard to find a match for this legendary saga that challenges our strategic and management skills since the year 1996. Based on the successful setting of the fan-favorite classic cRPG, Might and Magic, it achieved a great balance between accessibility and complexity that resonates perfectly with gamers. After all these years Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Complete Edition is still considered by many to be the perfect 4X turn-based title. Some fans, however, prefer the more modern Heroes of Might and Magic 5: Bundle, that takes the beloved mechanics into the beautiful realm of 3D graphics. That's only two titles, though. All of our Might and Magic games, strategy and RPG alike, can be found 50% off in the promo page.

and [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/far_cry_2_fortunes_edition]Farcry 2 introduced a new quality to the First-Person Shooter genre. With large, seamless locations, varied environment, open-ended gameworld, and a healthy dose of realism (just enough to make the combat believable, while keeping it entertaining and fast), it gave the shooter fans the best kind of story-driven sandbox experience. It's also worth noting, that the graphics in both games look excellent even now, years after release. If you enjoy FPS games, these two undoubtedly belong in your GOG.com DRM-free collection.

Right, let's stop here. We don't want to spoil the excitement of discovering what other gems await you in the promo page. Well let you find out that games such as Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, and Rayman Forever are also 50% off this weekend all for yourselves. Ooops. Let's just pretend that didn't happen. You should go to the promo page, now. The promo lasts until Tuesday, May 21 at 3:59AM GMT.

nijuu: Havent heard of that patch.Any good?
Yes but it does make everything smaller via increasing the size of the map. That said, it's way better than playing the game in a streched 800x600 resolution.

Here's some screens of what HoMM3 looks like at higher resolutions:

Licurg: How good is Beyond Good and Evil ?
very good. On a scale from 1-10, I would place it at 8.5

Coolies.!! Ill have a look at getting that working.... quite a nice facelift so to say. thanks :)

Kunovski: finally I can find out what's all the fuss about the Assassin's Creed series!

Mccy_McFlinn: Not with the first one you won't - too repetitive to be considered great. Many of the later ones were excellent, though. Push yourself through the first game and get to the second; which is where the series really begins to take off (in my opinion, of course).
well, I'm not really into sandbox games, but the idea of "time travel" makes me want to at least try it... but I really doubt I'll get through it :)

Length is fine, it takes some time getting 100% pictures. The ending is not very good, and there is not much replayability, as it is very story driven. Same as with all the other action adventure games.
Hmmm. Apart from Beyond Good and Evil, what should someone get...? What are the Prince of Persia games like? Is there any sneaking or some such?

tburger: O...Ubisoft on promo wow :-)

HoMM1 or 2 ? Hmm...Have to think...
2. Just trust me on this one.
avatar
Robbeasy: Prepare to point and laugh....

Never played a HoMM game....

Only got the money for one - it's a tight month!...

So - which one ???
avatar
Licurg: Third one is the best, and probably the best game on GOG too.
I second that. I hope it will make it back in the top 10 bestselling games on GOG. It deserves that.
But HoMM 2 is almost just as good as HoMM 3.
avatar
Mccy_McFlinn: I was just about to say the same thing. Certainly drives away the casual impulse to pick up many of the games - also, there's only so many HoMM games you can buy before they blur into one...
Sure it does. I was considering to complete some series, namely HoMM and Settlers, but I guess now I won't. Still, I absolutely hate Uplay, so I guess I'll still buy something to show some DRM free support. I would be happy if Ubi continued released their back catalogue over here.

GOG.com: So, we've heard you like variety.
[whining mode on] We also like 60% & 75% off :P :)) [whining mode off] Thanks for promo Goggy! Great number of games to choose from, maybe i pick up 4 or 5 of them.

JaqFrost: Hmmm. Apart from Beyond Good and Evil, what should someone get...? What are the Prince of Persia games like? Is there any sneaking or some such?
Personally, I recommend Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell - both fantastic games. I know they perhaps lack the heritage of many of the other games on offer, I just don't believe that that should be the case.
Some fantastic series on sale. You can't really go wrong with anything! Well, maybe Crusaders of Might and Magic :D


Also, buy Settlers 3!!

I have been so tempted to get this but the site download area has just a .exe file to download with no instructions. Plus half of the page is in russian. I can't pull the trigger under those circumstances. Can't help being paranoid.

Yeah I get you, I think if you go to heroescommunity.com they might have a .zip version. Strangely the Russian modding community of HoMM3 is massive, they are responsible for "Wake of Gods (WoG)", an entire fan-expansion for HoMM3.
