For anyone who follows DRM-free digital distributor extraordinaire Good Old Games, we have got one hell of an announcement for you today: Ubisoft was brought on board the service this week.
Say what you will about Ubisoft's current status as a publisher, but there's no arguing that the giant has given us some truly stellar games throughout its history, and those games are now going to be available from GOG.com. Three titles are up for purchase currently at $9.99 a piece: Beyond Good & Evil, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946.
We have also been told that Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell, Far Cry, and Heroes of Might and Magic are going to be released in the near future as well. Pretty damn impressive, if I do say so myself.
Which of these titles, if any, are you thinking of getting? Sands of Time -- a game I somehow missed out on playing -- sounds fantastic to me right about now.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I need to get me some of that.
bg&e has a gilded spot on my game shelf, actually i have the cube and ps2 version somehow...shrug.
I'm still wondering whether I should get it from GoG.
Does that make me a bad person?
