Why Need for Speed Heat Needs to Be on GOG — And Why It’s the Second-Best NFS Game Ever Need for Speed Heat is the ultimate return to form for the iconic franchise — a perfect fusion of daylight racing, nighttime outlaw action, and deep customization. It absolutely deserves a spot on GOG, not just for preservation but for the recognition it has earned as the second-best NFS game ever, right behind whichever fan-favorite you place at number one (Most Wanted 2005 or Underground 2, depending on your camp). Released in 2019, Heat gave fans what they’d been craving: police pursuits, a huge open-world map, and a solid, offline single-player experience. By separating day and night events — clean street racing by day, illegal reputation-building at night — it added strategic depth rarely seen in arcade racers. The risk-reward system for night racing cranked up the tension, making every escape from the cops a pulse-pounding thrill. Customization is back in full force, too. From visual tuning to performance upgrades, Heat brings back that Underground-era creativity. And the car list? It’s stacked — featuring everything from JDM legends and supercars to classic muscle. Putting Need for Speed Heat on GOG would mean a DRM-free, preserved version of a modern masterpiece, free from client restrictions. It respects player freedom — just like the game itself does. It’s stylish, fast, loud, and unapologetically fun. In a world full of live-service racing games, Heat burns brightest — and it belongs in every racer’s GOG library.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final canonical Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake as the main character. The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law
Harvey Birdman: Attorney at LawHarvey Birdman, Attorney at Law is an animated interactive adventure game that merges the fun and mayhem of the Adult Swim TV show with a unique style of gameplay. Players will step into the shiny wingtips of Harvey Birdman, a third-rate superhero turned third-rate defense attorney charged with exonerating parodied classic cartoon characters. Over the course of the game, players must guide Harvey through a series of odd and comical cases. Each of the game's five interactive stories takes the winged crusader of justice to familiar locations from the TV show. In order to prove his client's innocence, Harvey must peruse the scene of the crime, gather evidence, talk with other cartoon characters, occasionally have drinks with opposing council, and tear holes-no matter how ridiculous-in the testimony provided by the witness for the prosecution. Harvey must bring the whole story together to defend his client in a court where anything can happen...including a confrontation with the prosecution who brandishes a Shrink Ray Gun. With outrageous game play and the comical antics of animated characters, players and fans alike will feel that they are not just taking control of a character, but actually taking part in a brand new episode of Harvey Birdman.
