GOG is also having their own sale this weekend on some games from Atari & Kalypso. The game I'm most interested in is Master of Magic if you have not bought it yet.
More information.

Some good games in that sale. Chronicles of Riddick is an underrated gem, and Blood is a classic.

I'd say Chronicles of Riddick is definitely the best game on that list especially to play in this day and age. Though I certainly wouldn't call it an underrated gem by any stretch of the imagination.
For example it has a critic rating of 90 on Metacritic (Dark Athena which is included has 80), it's won numerous awards and just looking at it on something like Wikipedia will give a long list of those that sang its praise for a variety of reasons. It's safe to say it's universally acclaimed.

I should have said underplayed.
That reminds me.. I still need to play Dark Athena one of these days.
This may sound crazy but I miss the GOG ads at the top of our site. It provided me with an easy link to GOG and it was nice to see a commercially (?) related site instead of an ad for Tide or Toyota. It was almost like GOG was out sister site.
Oh well, back to Might and Magic 6. (yes 6)

No, that doesn't sound crazy at all. Lots of the GoG ads featured games that are awesome, and often made me want to replay them. I miss it, also. But the GoG site now is ugly as sin, so win some lose some I suppose.

Master of Magic is a must for anyone who hasn't played it yet, with the unofficial patch. Still unrivaled 20 years later and will probably never be.
Man that is not crazy. I was actually thinking the same thing. I used to regularly pop over to hit an browse or buy at GOG.
Well I hope the economics are working for the watch

The GOG ads were taking down because Google flagged them as Malware.

Hmmmm, I've never had trouble visiting this site, and as far as computers go, I'm a complete idiot. The ads being flagged like that is a complete surprise to me. Well, that does explain things a bit.

I think sometimes GOG has such problems because they are incorporated in Cyprus, which is a haven for Russian money laundering.
I remember the first time I bought a game from them I had my credit card locked up because of this. I had to call my credit union to tell them I was not a money launderer.
Fun fact, once their download services became down completely for a long while. I discovered that it was because the Montreal mafia had a building in Montreal burned down out of some vendetta, and their host for their downloaded files was right next to it. They were collateral damage.

I wish I had played MoM back in the day. I tried it about a year ago but couldn't really get into it.
I wish they (GOG) would get the 'Homeworld' and 'No One Lives Forever' titles.

I don't like a lot of shooters, but I liked NOLF. That one had style.

Homeworld has been licensed by Gearbox who will remaster it, and No One Lives Forever remains in licensing hell.
Yeah, I've been keeping an eye out for any info regarding Homeworld Remastered ever since I first heard about it. I haven't seen any updates in awhile though, and I'm starting to get a bad feeling for some reason...
