[This is our weekly "hey, hey you! Help support NG by buying Good Old Games" post. Just if you were wondering]
I’m so funny. What that title means is that Good Old Games are having a sale on all the Unreal games, like Unreal Tournament and Unreal Gold. See? Get the joke? I’m great.
You can buy any of the Unreal titles for $8.49 (15% off), which if you haven’t bought a copy yet, seems like a good deal. (Though it should be noted that with this offer, only Unreal 2 The Awakening Special Edition and Unreal Tournament 2004 Editor’s Choice Edition are cheaper than Steam.)
If you’re unsure about GoG, they also have a few decent free games you can try out like Beneath a Steal Sky and Lure of the Temptress. So that’s nice.
Sorry my ramblings today are a touch disorganised and wobble-cam is back. Hopefully next week all will be back to normal… unless that is normal for me. Also, congrats to Gibbo who won the “what game will I play first when I move in” competition. Commander Keen is heading your way.
As the more observant among you will have likely already noticed, Negative Gamer has become BFFs with Good Old Games (Gog for short). Remember them? They sponsored that awesome competition a few weeks ago?
The deal is; you can help support the costs of running this place simply by playing decent games (which are DRM free and dirt cheap) from Gog. There are no nasty, invasive adverts, no whoring you for money and you actually get something (or lots of things) out of it. Just follow any of the links on site and sign up!
Signing up to Gog is totally free, if you were wondering, and their games catalogue is actually impressive. Don’t trust me (probably a good thing)? Here are a just a few titles (which cost less than $10) that I think are worth having, along with some cunning linkage to help persuade you; Far Cry, Colin McRae Rally 2005, Postal 2, Fallout (for only $5.99), Descent 1 AND 2 (also for only $5.99 for both games). They are also having a 25% discount on Gothic 1 & 2 for this weekend only.
Also, I think I can get away with making my own adverts (as long as they aren’t offensive *sadface*), so if you guys find any awesome games in their huge library you think need some pimping, let me know!
In summary; you can help support Negative Gamer by buying Battle Chess Special Edition. Awesome.
