Good Old Games Holiday Sale!

Yesterday, Good Old Games started up their holiday sale. It lasts until the 2nd of January (for most games) and makes almost their entire catalog 50% off. 50% off of anything is awesome, especially when considering the regular prices of their games. If you ignore the few pricey things like The Witcher, every other game regularly costs $9.99 or or $4.99. Of course, take half off of those prices and you've got the most expensive games being 5 bucks.

Here are some games I recommend:

$4.99

• The Longest Journey
• Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition
• Phantasmagoria
• Police Quest 1-4
• Postal 2 Complete
• Sanitarium
• Scratches Director's Cut

$2.99

• Phantasmagoria 2
• Rollercoaster Tycoon Deluxe
• Sim City 2000 Special Edition
• The Zork Anthology

While Steam is going to have a huge sale soon too I can't help but feel that GoG is a bit of a nicer place to get digital games. Sure, Steam is great and all but they don't offer all the extras GoG does regularly. If you ever get any games from here you will typically get some computer wallpapers, game art, and sometimes even soundtracks. Getting a soundtrack is probably the nicest thing and I wish Steam would offer them too. At the very least both services will give you digital version of the game manuals, but it's not as obvious on Steam that they do so.

PS: They're giving away a free copy of Empire Earth: Gold Edition until tomorrow too. I haven't played my copy yet but it looks like a fun strategy game.
