GOG gets Heroes of Might and Magic IV, Might and Magic 7
Good Old Games has renewed its partnership with Ubisoft, which means more beloved games for us. This deal coming to fruition has already resulted in two new additions to the DRM-free digital distribution service: Might and Magic 7: For Blood and Honor and Heroes of Might and Magic IV Complete Edition. These games go way beyond my area of expertise, but I figured there would be enough of you guys to a warrant a quick post anyway. GOG.com is also having users do "quests" (like tweeting) in the name of prizes. Grand prize? A real sword, a shield, and $150 in GOG funny money. These guys are crazy; I like crazy. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)M&M7 is by far one of the best in the series, at least to me it is, my mum will be all over this, once she gets a pc about 20% of gogs profits will be from her from now on a few months ago when i signed up for GoG the first thing i looked for was heroes 4, glad they finally got it does anyone know if i can make normal purchases at gog.com yet without having to use paypal? cuz thats reall all thats stopping me from spending tons of money there. I'll get this. It's too much joy for less than 10 bucks. The first time I played HOMM IV I hated it, it was too different to the last one, which I loved. But in time, I learned to like it, it's not such a bad game as some say. The expansions, well, those are a different story, one of the main characters is named Spaz Maddicus ha! Two of my childhood games were Heroes of Might and Magic III and Might and Magic VII. I never had the chance to play HOMM4, but I was enthralled by MM7 because some of the character models looked just like HOMMIII units in first person. The main quest on the tutorial island was a dangerous scavenger hunt in which the winner wins a castle! I remember feeling how epic it was to own a castle. 8:00 PM on 05.24.2013 Weekend PC deals: Chivalry, Torchlight, Unreal, DefianceTorchlight II was my favorite game of 2012 and if you haven't sampled its brilliant loot-driven action, then GamersGate knocking 50% off its price (and 75% off its predecessor) should be tempting. GOG.com has a range of moder...

7:30 PM on 05.03.2013 Weekend PC deals: Star Wars, EA, Tomb RaiderBack in the day before EA was getting voted the worst company in America, it was publishing pretty stellar PC games. Some of those games are reduced by 60% in GOG.com's weekend sale, including the Ultima, Dungeon Keeper and W...
5:00 PM on 05.03.2013 Review: AnodyneAnodyne is a cool little top-down dungeon crawler with an obvious problem: it isn’t Zelda. Though I would normally feel like a jerk criticizing a small indie title for not stacking up to Nintendo’s legendary series, the game itself forces the comparison, lifting not just the basic gameplay elements of the classic 2D Zelda games, but also various art cues and enemy designs.
