Lol that's fine but I have nothing to buy there! Is this work with DLC?

See what happens when you buy games too early? You miss out on all the great sales. tsk, tsk..

Is the Betrayl at Krondor pack a must buy for those who don't have it?

How about Return to Krondor?

Betrayal at Krondor is an absolute masterpiece. When I returned to BaK more than a decade later I could still remember many details - which is normally not the case. Great TB combat, great story, flexible char development, very good soundtrack (in the CD version!) - and a lot of everything. See the other thread a couple of months ago. The first gen 3D graphics (high end in ca. 1993!) are hard to stomach though. There's a certain chance you'll puke over your keyboard before you can appreciate how good BaK is.

Return to Krondor is pretty much the opposite. Superb graphics at its time (King's Quest 8 engine), should still be tolerable today. Everything a bit simplified. Still a complex game compared to all these action-RPGs, but back then it was quite a shock how the successor to a hardcore RPG could be so newbie friendly. It's nice fast food for a long weekend. Maybe 25 hours. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Its lasting value is limited though.

Thanks for the info! I'll go ahead and get them both!

I was surprised to see I hadn't bought Return to Krondor yet … quickly remedied

I remember the 2 Krondor titles with fondness - worth buying.

Note that BaK also includes the Betrayal in Anatara. I don't know if this is any good since I could never get past a crash in the game. Tempted to buy to see what I missed. I seem to recall that it didn't get good reviews but I think that it was because the graphics by 1997 were regarded as "ugly" but if you are thinking of buying this pack then eye candy is not your prime priority.

I think I will buy.

Played Krondor Betrayal and Return. Both are great games - and totally different actually!
Gorath mentions the graphics in Return… And the music? I adored it.

Never played Betrayal in Antara. Why? I played demo and was not happy with things shown in it, and then came bad reviews.

Same here. I never played Return at all, so that should be a good little experience sometime.

Bought BaK, as well.
With all the praise this game is getting, I owe it to myself to give it a try.

Me too! Couldn't resist any longer.

Media Markt in Germany has another 3 for XX special starting tomorrow. 3 games on mixed platforms cost 50€, including a couple of new titles like Brink. Also a couple of RPG included.
Similar deals for DVDs and BluRays.

Amazon.de already matched the prices.

Both have The Witcher 2 SE (or whatever the 50€ SKU is called) for 38€.

Drakensang Complete is 50% off on Impulse for $19.99. As expected, it is only for NA customers.

GOG.com has Spellforce Platinum on sale this week for $4.99. They also just added Spellforce 2: Shadow Wars to their library.
