donsanderson: Good point. :P
She quits her job if I'm not mistaken.

skavenslayer: Sorry if this is obvious - new to the sale. So is Shadowrun really donzo?
I'm not sure what donzo means. If it means had its third run and will not be making another appearance then, yes, it is totally donzo. My condolences.

Neverfree: Already half way done. But that doesn't mean much... I don't even want to guess.
Well usually 30-40% are sold fast but after that it takes like forever.

HypersomniacLive: It's not like her death translates into one lawyer less in the physical world. ;-P
That's true. But just imagine a game that did. GOG wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand. ;D

Sazanamistyle: I actually agree with this appraisal of the first Syberia. I've never played Syberia 2, but I do remember a lot of adventure games from that period had this going on to the point where it seemed like a trend. Still Life, Syberia, The Longest Journey, and so on bled into games like A Vampyre Story and Gray Matter. Not that making more games with female protagonists isn't a positive development, but of those I thought Syberia was the weakest.

If I'm going to warm to an adventure with really limited interactions and where the characterization of places and characters is so little reflected in what I can click on with my mouse, I'd at least want a clearer definition of what I'm doing. Syberia was more bewildering than mysterious and I felt like I was locked up in my aunt's attic with a bunch of toys from a bygone era and several of her friends speaking about people and places I couldn't understand. It was frustratingly designed, although beautiful and really quite a shallow game. There were a lot of other games from that period that did a much better job with the ethos it had going.
Exactly. My idea of a good adventure game is Monkey Island, Blackwell series, Gemini Rue, Dreamweb, Gabriel Knight, stuff like that.

Lot's of stuff to examine, witty comments, dynamic plot, development of characters and their relations, such things.

Those games consisting of a lonely cute female leisurely jogging through a statically rendered 3D scenes where only the item necessary to push the plot forward is interactive are abominations.

Plus I hate arbitrary puzzles!

Even the lawyers would be desperately buying them all up.

Doesn't she give great 'pro bono'? That's good lawyering ;-)

Down to about 5 sales per minute now after the initial rush, so chances are it'll be with us for at least another hour or so.

The justice system works swiftly in the future now that they've allowed lawyer executions via video game.

IAmSinistar: So Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness is next? See you all tomorrow.

txnca: Errr...I don't think so. This is the second in a pair, or if it isn't then Smugglers V - 75% off ($2.49] is next.
Smugglers "breaks" Mobygames if I search it XD

I know I'd buy a good number of copies myself, but alas, no studio would have the guts to make such a game, even if permitted by law :D

Id ask for an extra copy of zork which I missed in my sleep but sadly I have no way to pay for it due to paypal not being fully functional where I come from so that refrains me from asking :/

Yes, but she also reforms torts. I don't like torts that have been reformed, they never taste quite right.
