Broken Sword 4 hits GOG, first 3 games on sale photo

I thought I only suffered from media amnesia when it came to crappy dime-a-dozen B-horror movies, but looking at 2007's Broken Sword 4: The Angel of Death I can't remember if I have ever played it or not. Good thing it's now on Good Old Games for $9.99!

To celebrate, GOG is having a 50% off deal on the first three Broken Sword games ($2.99 each) until Friday 6:59 a.m. EDT. I'm pretty sure I skipped the third game, but the first two are excellent examples of '90s era point & click adventures; the GOG version of these two includes the remastered and original editions to boot.

Can't wait to pick up Broken Sword 4 when it goes on sale!

Its been cheaper on steam very recently. I think you got all the games in a pack for 2.50

Big fan of the series. The GOG versions are great! Pick them up! BS3 is pretty good, BS4 is terrible.

Definitely pick up BS3 if you enjoyed the first two. Play with a controller though, it's definitely more of a Grim Fandango style control thing going on.

Don't lose any sleep over missing BS4.

Must be why they gave the directors cut of the first game away for free a few weeks ago. Pretty great way to promote bringing in 4, and this sale, if you ask me.

Is the header from BS4?

I know you shouldn't judge a game by it's visuals but BS4 looks like something from 2001 and not 2007 =/

I've also never heard of it which doesn't bode well, I can heartily recommend the other three though, they are all excellent games.

Header is from BS4 yeah. I think I missed them on Steam, but I tend to prefer GOG for these ancient games anyway. Keep buying enough stuff during Steam sales that I never actually get around to :/

I wish they had stuck with the amazing 2D animated style. I'll never get tired of whining about adventure games not being in 2D anymore :3 (I think they only game that I accept in 3D is Grim Fandango)

That hit my weak point. I love supporting the adventure genre and 2.99 is just cheap enough that I don't mind buying the games again even though I own the cds.
