Thread: GOG Beta Live!

Good Ol' Games (ie, GOG.com) has just started their initial public beta run.

For those of you who haven't heard about GOG before, it's a simple but brilliant idea. They've taken several old classic PC titles, patched them up to work flawlessly with Windows XP and Vista (and in some cases in higher/widescreen resolutions), and even included all the expansions with most of them. Their library is somewhat small at the moment, but they do have the necessary classics up and ready for purchase at about 3-5 bucks per game. Here's a quick list of a few that I just purchased.

Descent 1+2+3+Expansion
Die By the Sword+Expansion
Fallout
Fallout 2
Fallout Tactics
Freespace 1+2+Expansion
Giants: Citizen Kabuto
Kingpin: Life of Crime
M.A.X. 1 + 2
Perimeter
Sacrifice
Shattered Steel

Got all that for about the price you'd pay for a new game off the shelf at Best Buy. :9

Anyway, definitely worth checking out, as I believe they're still accepting beta applications. Even if you've never heard of some of these games, they're definitely worth playing.
