Heroes of Might and Magic series, Farcry 1&2, Prince of Persia series, Settlers 3, and many more Ubisoft games 50% off, until Tuesday, May 21 at 3:59AM GMT

So, we've heard you like variety. We can relate, everyone loves browsing and picking their favorites. That's why we thought Ubisoft catalog would make for a terrific weekend promo. You can pick and mix from a selection of about 40 [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/ubisoft_weekend_promo_170513]Top Ubisoft Titles, 50% off this weekend. Games of all age, shape, and size await you in the promo page. Whatever your taste in games might be, you'll find something nice and exciting to make your weekend more entertaining. Let's take a quick look at one or two titles, shall we?

Heroes of Might and Magic is a game series so prominent, that it surely needs no introduction. In fantasy turn-based strategies it's quite hard to find a match for this legendary saga that challenges our strategic and management skills since the year 1996. Based on the successful setting of the fan-favorite classic cRPG, Might and Magic, it achieved a great balance between accessibility and complexity that resonates perfectly with gamers. After all these years Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Complete Edition is still considered by many to be the perfect 4X turn-based title. Some fans, however, prefer the more modern Heroes of Might and Magic 5: Bundle, that takes the beloved mechanics into the beautiful realm of 3D graphics. That's only two titles, though. All of our Might and Magic games, strategy and RPG alike, can be found 50% off in the promo page.

and [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/far_cry_2_fortunes_edition]Farcry 2 introduced a new quality to the First-Person Shooter genre. With large, seamless locations, varied environment, open-ended gameworld, and a healthy dose of realism (just enough to make the combat believable, while keeping it entertaining and fast), it gave the shooter fans the best kind of story-driven sandbox experience. It's also worth noting, that the graphics in both games look excellent even now, years after release. If you enjoy FPS games, these two undoubtedly belong in your GOG.com DRM-free collection.

Right, let's stop here. We don't want to spoil the excitement of discovering what other gems await you in the promo page. Well let you find out that games such as Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, and Rayman Forever are also 50% off this weekend all for yourselves. Ooops. Let's just pretend that didn't happen. You should go to the promo page, now. The promo lasts until Tuesday, May 21 at 3:59AM GMT.
How good is Beyond Good and Evil ?

Third one is the best, and probably the best game on GOG too.

The third I'd say, also pick up the high-resolution patch for it.
FYI: The promo badge in the news post links to Heroes Of Might And Magic not the promo page.
Nothing that tempts me, can I have a privat sale on Nations:Gold and Stronghold HD? :O
Wow, great promo. Many great games. Will certainly pick up one or two.

Very good, in my opinion! Great characters, exciting story. Definitely one of the better games I have played in all my years of computer gaming.

tburger: O...Ubisoft on promo wow :-)

HoMM1 or 2 ? Hmm...Have to think...
HoMM 2, it's a great game, the only thing that could bother you is that, unlike HoMM 3 you don't have the "Wait" option during battle. You either attack, move or defend.

P1na: Is it just me or does Ubisoft sell their games on a higher average price than other publishers?
Nah. Theres a number of them that sell their games at the $9.99 tier(havent counted). Interplay is the obvious one as they jacked all their prices up months back.

Might and Magic VII and VIII... come to your new home .....

Kunovski: finally I can find out what's all the fuss about the Assassin's Creed series!
Not with the first one you won't - too repetitive to be considered great. Many of the later ones were excellent, though. Push yourself through the first game and get to the second; which is where the series really begins to take off (in my opinion, of course).

Havent heard of that patch.Any good?
Sweet, can't go wrong with Ubisoft. Although the original Far Cry is a bit too expensive at 10 bucks. This is gonna be my third copy of the game, who knows where the previous 2 are.
Hey, finally some titles on my wishlist. Def gonna grab Warlords Battlecry 2. I'm eyeing the two Imperialism games, 1 & 2. Anyone tried these? Worth playing, or are they just kinda Mehhh?

It's not good, it's great, so get and play it asap.

For $5: bloody excellent. With all under-appreciated games of yore, the internet has perhaps puffed it up to be slightly better than it actually is - it's obviously a game from 2003, put it that way.

But most of my criticism of the game would be as a counterpoint to those offering unreserved praise around the internet.
