Gothic series, The Book of Unwritten Tales, Panzer Elite, Painkiller, Aquanox 1 and 2, and more, 60% off!

This weekend we've prepared for you a promo featuring some very [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/nordic_games_weekend_promo_140613]Notable Nordic Games! Looking at the catalog of titles available on GOG.com via the publisher Nordic Games, one just cannot miss the fact how exeptional some of them are. Just look! There's one of the most notable RPG sagas. There's one of the FPS games most notable for its old-school gameplay. There's a war game notable for being one of the few tank simulation games. There's an adventure dilogy notable for brilliantly spoofing the fantasy genre as a whole. Everywhere you look--an exceptional game that deserves appreciation. Hence the promo title: Notable Nordic Games. Let's take a quick look at two of them, shall we?

The Book of Unwritten Tales references almost all imaginable popular fantasy worlds, that you visited in your books, movies, and games. It comes in the form of a classic point-and-click adventure with impressive and detailed visuals, quirky characters, and professional voice acting. Whether you're a Terry Pratchett reader, a WoW player, or a fan of Peter Jackson's vision of Lord of The Rings, you'll have a blast discovering all the references the game's creators are making here. On top of that, by the Great Rule Of Fantasy Sagas, so zealously followed by many writers, filmmakers, and game developers, there is a sequel!

The Book of Unwritten Tales: The Critter Chronicles could do just fine by only copying its predecessor. After all--that's what many successful sequels do. The creators, however, made damn sure to give you a plethora of fresh and funny ideas, a cast of new crazy characters, and plenty of previously unseen locations. Both games are available in English and German versions, for Windows and Mac, and the price is only $7.99 for each!

That's merely scratching the surface, of course! Head out to the promo page to browse the full list of games you can grab 60% off until Tuesday, June 18, at 3:59AM GMT.

Promo is awesome :)

The Guild looks interesting. Wasn't there a second one that wasn't well received? I forget now. Anyway, the first one on sale here looks like it could be fun despite some flaws I was reading about in one of the user reviews.
I've already picked what I want from that list... Ok, now to next week's release
Hey, didn't Nordic purchase the entire backlog of Nirval's games? GOG really ought to release Hammer & Sickle, the sequel to Silent Storm.

Redfoxe: Wasnt same sale just up a while ago?. Or am i just imagining things?

Oh well, maybe games i want next time :)
Nordic is in a very frequent discount cycle. Here, DotEmu, maybe Steam and GamersGate, too.

Nival. :p
My backlog of games to play has just gotten larger.
BEST PROMO EVAR.

(I'm broke and I already have every game.)

triock: Nival. :p
Yes, that
6 games on my wishlist and no way to buy them... that's awesome!
Hmm. Nice promo... I guess.
Already owns Gothic series. Aquanox looks interesting. But still, doesn't interesting enough for me. Also not interested in other games. Perhaps it is just me being don't want to buy game unless it is a very good PWYW good bundle or crazy sale..

Fred_DM: seriously, Nordic should just lower the prices of their games permanently. their games are like constantly on sale anyway.
Maybe they have noticed that people are more likely to e.g. buy a $10 game with a 50% discount, than the same game for the same $5 with a 0% discount.

It doesn't matter how much you pay, it matters how much you "save". :)
Instead of promos I'd prefer some supplements to the catalogue, since said DotEmu has, among others, the Aura games, The Sting and Traitors Gate 2 from Nordic. And then top them with the first Traitors Gate. You can do it gog, old boy!
I can wholeheartedly recommend you both Books of Unwritten Tales. They are brilliant and look absolutely gorgeous. Play them in the development order i.e. Critter Chronicles should be the second one even though technically it's a prequel. There are some jokes that refer to the situations from the original Book of Unwritten Tales so be sure to play it first!
Europa 1400 the guild is one of my all time favourites... if you like history, especially medieval times it's the way to go, the game has some deep gameplay, politics, social interactivity, trade and one of the most impressive medieval style music I have ever heard in a computer game, I already have retail versions of the original game + expansion but I've been waiting to pick it here on sale aswell

the only thing I don't like about the game are some bugs and fact, that the expansion pack pushes the game more into the fantasy than I would like (could be compared with Red Alert 2 and it's expansion Yuri's revenge, which went unlike the original way too far into sci-fi)
but overall no big deal, the game is a dope!
