Get Thief, Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, Soul Reaver, and more Square Enix classics up to 75% off!

We're all gamers, here at GOG.com, so we know very well that games aren't something you <i>can</i> have. They're something you <i>must</i> have. A commodity, essential to our wellbeing. We take it as our mission to deliver what makes you happy right onto your virtual doorstep. Our weekend [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/square_enix_weekend_promo_040414]Square Enix Supply offers you the chance to get games from some of the most exciting series with up to 75% off discount. Square Enix catalog features some of the most impressive gems in the GOG.com offer. Titles that evoke memories and emotions in thousands and thousands of gamers. The character cast of the Square Enix stable alone is impressive enough to make one's heart race. If GOG.com had a red carpet, celebrities such as Lara Croft, Garret the Master Thief, Agent 47, Kain and Raziel, and JC Denton would arrive to walk it on a limousine marked by Square Enix logo. Let's take a quick look at the featured games, shall we?

Lara Croft is the ever-shining star of the Tomb Raider series. Lately her character has undergone some major changes. Here, we give you a chance to spend some quality time with good--erm--classic Lara. Tomb Raider 1+2+3, Tomb Raider: Last Revelation + Chronicles, and Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness sum up all of the miss Croft's early career, for only $3.99 each!

Yet another hero who is a fan of property re-assignment concept, Garret the Thief has now made a comeback with a new game. The word on the street is that the new title is very nice, but not quite what the long-time fans of the series expected from a Thief game. On GOG.com you can catch up with all of Garret's classic adventures, as long as you can keep up with him, as he silently moves through the shadows. Thief Gold, Thief 2: The Metal Age, and Thief 3: The Deadly Shadows let you experience the life of a thievery archmaster, for only $3.49 each!

Not really in the mood for action and adventure? Startopia takes the classic city-builder genre to the stars and lets you manage a fully simulated alien society of nine distinctive races in which each citizen's mood, needs, and goals can be individually tracked. You'll get some help from VAL--your AI advisor--brilliantly voiced by William Franklyn, the British actor famous for his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio performance. The game is only $1.49 this weekend!

That's only a small taste of the Square Enix titles you can get up to 75% off this weekend. Head out to our Square Enix Supply promo page, to check out the whole offer available until Tuesday, April 8, at 3:59AM GMT. Enjoy your weekend!

groze: On a sidenote, I couldn't care less for Square and their overrated Final Fantasy series, but I do miss my good old Enix, not the Enix of the Dragon (ball Z) Quest, but the Enix of Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma and ActRaiser.

thuey: Thank you. I still consider jRPGs as my favorite genre, but

On Squaresoft,

Aside from the original Final Fantasy (1) for its time, that series is mostly mainstream garbage. Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve were great, albeit imperfect.

On Enix,

Those Action/Adventure games you mention were fantastic classics! They featured beautiful backdrops, stunning music, and most of all - were enjoyable to play.

The Dragon Quest series isn't that bad though - many are actually quite competent, and much more strategic than FF ever was. The main issue is that the gameplay hasn't really evolved in the last 20 years.

But back on topic:

Just bought Project Eden since I'm curious what Core did outside of TR.
Final Fantasy isn't what I'd call challenging, but it's more strategic than Dragon Quest. The action-RPGs developed by Quintet were much better than any of the Dragon Quest games. It's a shame that they didn't produce any notable titles after Terranigma.

wulfenlord: Am I the only one thinking that "Square Enix games" should be Final Fantasy resp. Dragon Quest, not some acquired/stolen licenses?
Probably not, which is a shame. Even if we're talking games produced by Square an Enix, there's a lot more than Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, but unfortunately, that's most of what consumers purchased so they for the most part stopped developing other games.
