As our catalog gets bigger and better every week, it's easy to lose track of some of the awesome games that we have to offer. We've been running one day "Gaming Gem" promos for a while now to highlight some classic titles that don't get the love of some of our best-known blockbusters like Baldur's Gate or Duke Nukem 3D. To celebrate summer, for the next two weeks until July 25th, we're going to run a Gaming Gem promo every day, so you can rediscover these lesser-known classics! Grab that plastic toy shovel and dig out gem after gem over the next 18 days. We think every game we're going to be offering on our Summer GOG.com Gem Extravaganza will be an excellent title, and we hope you give them all a try.

Today’s promo will introduce you to John Cord, an MI6 operative sent to the fictitious country of Volgia, which occupies a stretch of the coastline between Russia and China. Your mission: to infiltrate an uranium mine and untangle the mystery of an agent gone missing. In Cold Blood is an mix of an 80s spy novel with a elegantly simple combat system. An espionage game would be nothing without the genre-defining sneaking system similar to the one used in game where a certain burglar was lurking in the shadows. The pre-rendered backgrounds and cinematic camera angles evoke memories of such a classic as Alone In The Dark. [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/in_cold_blood]In Cold Blood has nothing to be shy about when confronting this masterpiece in terms of narrative, game play, and story.

Are you ready to become a servant for Her Majesty and unravel the plot behind the soviet uranium facility? Pick up In Cold Blood on sale for just $2.39 today!
I had no problem installing and running it on Windows 7 64 bit. Haven't played it much yet (the controls are awful) so that doesn't mean that it might not act up later.
Already have it. Never did finish it though. It is an interesting adventure/stealth type game if you can get past the awkward controls. xP
Decided against this one; therefore now my wallet 3 vs gog sales 3. Reading about the poor controls puts me off and I'm still reluctant to buy non confirmed windows 7 games. Hoping for a good rpg next. Just praying that neither football game appear in these deals! ;-)
Interesting game...but after reading about the controls mentioned earlier and seeing a couple of reviews I think I will pass on this one. My Wallet 5 - 1 GOG Sales.

Until tomorrow then.

I would have snapped this up instantly but, like you, I am concerned about what I've heard regarding the controls. There is nothing that makes me give up on a game faster than control issues...

Tsugirai: 60 hours of adventuring?
Not really... I'd say it's close to maybe 10 hours. See the In Cold Blood forum for more info. It is rather short. That being said, I kind of like the game.

Maybe the other 50 hours you spend learning the controls ;-P
(Kidding, I doubt they are That bad.)

stevef: Facey says it works (see above)

i'm playing BS3 on a netbook with Win7/64 right now, no problems (aside from having to play some scenarios repeatedly because i coudn't run/jump, etc. away from the villains). Try GOG support, no reason that shouldn't run (also, i believe i've seen on here about credit isued for games that don't run for you). good luck.

F1ach: I tried support and while they made lots of suggestions, I still couldnt get it to work.

Doubt if they will refund as their tos says "All sales are final".
Now i think on it, I got my copy of BS3 on sale at GamersGate.
Seems to work fine in Win 7x64.
Installed with no problem, started fine. 5 minutes of gameplay with no problem.
Great game...yes some parts are hard to get through due to having to either be done in a certain order/way or quick enough but the story is awesome & the game has some fun moments and interesting characters.....and once you get it down pat it's fun to boot.
