Today a more modern Electronic Arts release joins the catalogue, and we bet most of you didn't see this one coming. Time to choose your class and fight for the cause of right!

Nox is an isometric action-RPG mix from the masters at the famous Westwood Studios. You are Jack Mower, an ordinary guy living his ordinary life. But one day, due to a cosmic accident and the actions by the evil Queen of Necromancers, you're being sucked out of this universe by your own TV and transferred to a fantasy parallel universe called Nox. We're not sure, but we think the moral of Nox is "Don't watch too much TV." Who says gaming doesn't spread positive messages?

Jack, though, seems in a bit of a spot. It won't be a surprise if we tell you that the world Jack got into is in danger and he's the one that can save it, right?

The beginning seems easy, you need to choose your class and get into action. But the choice isn't as easy as you think it is as every class has its own starting point, story, ending, and gameplay mechanics, so choose your path wisely or just prepare to beat the game 3 times. As a warrior you'll be slashing and crushing your enemies with the huge arsenal of melee weapons available in the game, but you won't be able to use magic. The wizard is a mighty magician with a spellbook full of magic tricks you can use to attack enemies, make yourself invisible, teleport, and more. Wizards can't use weapons, though, so there's no backup if the spells run out. The last path you can choose is to play as the conjurer who can summon monsters and wild animals living in the world of Nox and use them to do all his dirty work, while also healing himself and his allies and, last but not least, using bows to help your critters out.

If you finish the game with all 3 classes and want more there are fun multiplayer modes that are inspired by the FPS genre like deathmatch, capture the flag, "King of the Realm" (aka king of the hill), and even a co-op mode! That's a hella lot of fun gameplay for only $5.99, so go get it now!
OK, here's one for you, enjoy:
*redeemed*

I'm sort of a fan of NOX... not sure why, but it kept me hooked to the screen for hours, back in the day. ;)

Fujek: Since you're sort of a confessing GOGing-NOXer (*grins*), would you mind helping me and El_Caz out by describing the multi-player set up in the GOG version of the game (how we're connecting to one another)?

And thumbs up for the gift, even if I was too slow again ;)
I'm sorry but I have no idea... really. At the time of its release I've never played NOX online, and now at GOG.com I'm not participating in the game-testing, preparing titles for the release (at least from the technical point of view). ;)

keeveek: It appears that NOX is another EA release. So, I assume, no more Westwood releases.. (or maybe command and conquer)
You know that attempting to discern any logical pattern of our releases is a futile effort, right? ;)

Darling_Jimmy: OT: LOL, who's MailChimp?
I was logged in a sample account I made while demonstrating to the guys at Mailchimp how our signup process works. I was hoping no one would notice I was still logged in as MailChimp when I posted that reply this morning.

Fail whale, party of 1. ;__;

DrIstvaan: Or it's TET's secret identity!
I do have a non-blue text account from back before I was hired to work here, but I've tried to make sure no one knows what it is (and I don't think I've posted from it since I was hired). MailChimp is obviously not a good choice for an alt, though. The secret's out!
