Omikron: The Nomad Soul $9.99


This third-person adventure from French developer Quantic Dream (Indigo Prophecy, Heavy Rain) places the player in the role of a detective investigating a series of murders in the futuristic and exotic world in and around the city of Omikron. (And a few dozen other characters, as well. This soul gets around.) While focusing on character interaction and puzzles of possession, the included fighting and shooting sequences may be less than spectacular. However, the substance of Omikron, exploring its oddly engaging and sometimes surreal gameworld, is more than worth a few detours.

The featured Bowie/Gabrels soundtrack may not be included as an additional bonus, but (next to ripping the game files) this may be the next best thing.

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault War Chest, the classic World War II first person perspective shooter with both extensions: Spearhead and Breakthrough, is now available on GOG.com for only $9.99.

"There are some memorable moments in the history of computer games. Among them, the Allied forces' landing on the Omaha Beach, depicted in Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, remains one of the strongest and most realistic. As an American infantry veteran, Mike Powell, you land on the sandy shore of Normandy to witness a massacre among your fellow troops. The continuous fire of MG 42's cutting through people like hot knife through butter, making it impossible to capture the enemy bunkers. In that deadly chaos, with a Bangalore pipe-bomb clutched tightly in your hand, you make your way towards the far end of German fortifications. The lives of the many, and the success of the entire offensive, literally lies in your hands. That's only one of the many dramatic highlights of this game.

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault War Chest takes you to the fronts of World War II and let's you take part in some of the allied forces most crucial operations. The game became famous for creating a believable and suggestive image of battle conditions with a real infantry soldier in the role of the game's hero. The War Chest edition includes the original campaign that will take you from German bases in Algiers, through the D-Day landing in Normandy, to the occupied France, and both Spearhead and Breakthrough expansions. With hundreds of carefully scripted events to intensify the action, realistic setting, historic missions, and excellent voice acting (including Gary Oldman as the protagonist of Spearhead), this game will take you on a cinematic, action-packed adventure of a lifetime!"

Can't wait for this to go on sale, this is the grandaddy of World War 2 shooters along with Call of Duty/Infiinity Ward. First Ubisoft, now EA, it's great seeing GOG acquiring the rights to sell all these more recent games.

Leisure Suit Larry's Greatest Hits & Misses! $9.99 [includes Larry 1-3/5-6 (no 4, of course), the VGA remake of 1, and Softporn Adventure - does NOT include 6 SVGA or Floppy versions, and other Greatest Hits & Misses! bonuses (Laffer Utilities, Larry's Big Score: Pinball, etc.)]


Double entendre, innuendo, and a severe lack of animal magnetism are the order of the day as you guide Larry through his quests to find true love...or at least a good time. Explore sleazy dives, luxurious resorts, and the rolling hills of a land called Rejection while lamenting that "if I only had a dollar every time I heard that" in this series of classic point-and-click adventures from Sierra and the delightfully deviant mind of Al Lowe (Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist, Torin's Passage).

Conquest: Frontier Wars $5.99


This epic space RTS from Fever Pitch Games and Digital Anvil (Freelancer, Starlancer) may utilize conventional 2D gameplay despite its 3D engine, but boasts several rather unique features such as space-hero units, supply lines, and multi-map combat (as well as a touch a humor to help lighten the darkness of the cosmos).


Extras: Manual, Soundtrack, Quick Reference Card

Just curious, but is there a reason that LSL 7 - Love for Sail was not included in this...um... package?

Nonetheless, it's a pretty awesome compilation. If only they would bundle the six Space Quest games or the first six King's Quest games together instead of separating them
