Good Old Games has kicked off its holiday sale. Nearly 300 titles are marked down, some up to half off. More than anything else, this is another exercise in self control. Take a look for yourself.
They are also giving out Tyrian 2000 (pictured above) for free. If you have yet to use GOG, I recommend giving that one a download to see how the DRM-free service works. (Heads up, it works quite well.)
It's funny -- you think nothing of much value is releasing during December and you can finally be content with your huge backlog. While that first part is true, that's not taking into consideration the numerous digital sales. Add another game (or ten) to the pile of shame!
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 am addicted to cheap games. I have a pile of 10 unplayed Dreamcast games I bought for $10 a piece when it was being phased out. I have 5 PS3 and 30 Xbox 360 games I have yet to play. I have a stack of original Xbox and PS2 games I have to get to. . .someday. I need help, and GOG isn't helping.
I feel your pain, according to my backloggery account, there are 252 games that I have that I need to beat. And that's just counting current gen consoles and handhelds. On top of that there are at least 7 games in this sale that I want, basically all the D&D RPGs they have on there: Planescape, the Baldur's Gate games, the Icewind Dale games, Neverwinter Nights and Temple of Elemental Evil. Fuck my life.
That said, I at least snagged Tyrian, though OpenTyrian has been around for a while too. I suppose I'll have to see what's different between the two.
I don't even want to look at the site since I know I'll buy alot.
did you know the logo is the same upside down?
This will make a pretty good gift to Dad, honestly.
