To play Quake 2 in full HD and other widescreen aspects, simply replace the game's quake2.exe file with the version found at this site. Then all the widescreen aspects will be available when the game is launched. http://www.gamesrevival.ru/mods/233
I've played tons of FPSs since the days of original Doom and while there are so many solid titles in this genre, Quake 2 and Quake 3 Arena remain challenging and playable to this day. The former is a great single player campaign with multiplayer support. The later remains possibly the best simulated and actual multiplayer title of all time. GOG's versions includes expansion packs and mods. Best of all, they're free of DRM and come optimized for ease of installation and control. Just install and play! These two games represent exactly what GOG is all about.
Although Shantae And The Pirate's Curse remains on my GOG wishlist, I've had the opportunity to play it on a friend's PC, with keyboard, and now have doubts as to whether to buy it even if it goes on sale. The game is a retro styled platformer with a charming (and cutely sexy) central character and colorful graphics. Unfortunately it wastes no time in challenging even experienced Super Mario players with tight jumps, a hail of incoming machine gun fire, and few save points. I'd spent perhaps two or three hours in total on it and was unable to surpass more than a couple of minutes of in-game time before exhausting all of Shantae's defenses. No matter how appealing it might look, any game become tiresome when one is forced to restart countless times. My guess is a controller would help matters, but I'm unwilling to bet this game's price to find out. So unless a gamer is highly skilled at platformers, I'd suggest he check out other titles before this one.
It would be nice if this means GOG will release CALL OF JUAREZ soon!
I played this before GOG came along and will add it to my library here when I install a new video card. My Intel G620's graphics might not allow Prince of Persia The Sands of Time to run at 1920 x 1080.
Gentlemen, if you enjoy puzzles with a generous helping of softcore and RPG then this game's for you. Don't take HuniePop seriously, because it's strictly a fun take on dating sims minus the explicit content found in most anime. On the other hand, HuniePop is more complex and well crafted than it might first appear to be. The visuals are two dimensional, but evocative, and the voice acting gives the girls you'll encounter real personality. Before long, you'll begin to react to them as though they're real, within the game's fantasy environment of course. HuniePop's sexy appeal and wit don't attempt to be virtual reality. As for the puzzles, they start off challenging and become more difficult with each date. Memorization and sound strategy are mandatory because there are so many facets which must be accounted for if you're going to be successful. As the game unfolds, it becomes clear just how much effort went into its design. Gameplay isn't linear, so HuniePop seems to have considerable replay value. It's hard to beat this game's combination of entertainment and price.
