Ever since TwoBestFriendsPlay introduced me to this gem of a Bad-But-Good game, I can never get it out of my head. It's a collectors piece of art to me, much like movie buffs who collect Bad but Good Movies.
If you always wondered what a Twin Peaks video game would be like, Deadly Premonition is the answer. The game-play is very rough and the enemys are there to just slow you down but, this is an amazing retelling of what Japanese think Americans are like- in regards to the show Twin Peaks! This is definitely a GOG to me any many others out there.
The game is really Jank but made with so much passion. Sometimes hilarious on purpose and sometimes unintentionally, the OST will stick to your head for days too.
The XBOX 360 version is still to this day the best and most stable version of the games and I'd dream GOG would help to fix the PC version and make it drm free.
Probably one of the most unique game of it's time and mostly overlooked by gamers due to the rough graphics, gameplay and rushed port that did not help its reputation. The game was originally janky but not bugged.
Please GOG
Deadly Premonition (as funny as it probably is to hear someone say this) is the game that made me fall in love with art. It was my first time truly being touched to the core by a work of fiction. As such, seeing the state of the PC release of DP1, I can't help but feel sad. The Director's Cut (the only version of the game available on PC) might just be the worst PC port of any game ever and requires HOURS of fiddling around with various fan patches to actually work properly. As such, I desperately hope that we could see the Xbox version of DP1 (by far the definitive version) ported to PC so that more can experience this weird and awesome game without having to torture their self by playing the god awful Director's Cut version.
This game despite its HUGE numbers of issues.. have one of the most unique and rich experience in the survival/psychological horror genre.
Like sure, the draw distance , graphics , physics etc.. look a bit buggy , unfinished , desaturated. the story is rich , the map is actually huge for the time , has a lot of good ideas , the characters and the plot are very interesting. The Xbox version is still the best up to this day.
So today is the time where we convince GOG that this game deserve to be in the preservation program and get all the fixes it needs. The PC version is one of the most broken port on the PC market alongside Silent Hill Homecoming.
Deadly Premonition is one of the most unique and stylish games I've ever played. In the same way Twin Peaks is peerless in television, so is Deadly Premonition among horror games. It is also poorly optimized or virtually unplayable on other platforms. I know GOG would do the game justice, and I would love for it to be made available here.
If there is a game on this list that is the poster child for this program its this game. The game cries out for a remake/remaster. But since at this point that seems unlikely, if we could just get a playable port that would be fantastic!

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
