GoG.com Mod Spotlight – Duke Nukeum 3D

October 17, 2009 — Carlosjuero

posted a special Mod Spotlight on one of the FPS genre defining titles: . The spotlight goes over mods that bring this great old classic into the modern age of computing and include a High Resolution Texture mod, Weapon Mods, and much much more.  Considering that Duke 3D was one of the games I grew up playing, I just had to post about this.

Mod spotlight: Duke Nukem 3D

The original Duke Nukem 3D is a game that never gets bored. Even you’ve finished it 3, 30 or 300 times you’ll never get enough of the good ol’ Duke – you know it and we know it. But if you’d like to something a little bit different, the Duke Nukem community has prepared couple great modifications – some bring you more of the Duke-gameplay and some make it even better (yeah, right). Below you’ll find the spotlight on couple cool Duke Nukem 3D mods!

Classic Sacred Fans – it just got better; Unreal goes to GoG

November 19, 2008 — Carlosjuero

Getting the original Sacred has often proven an exercise in frustration, either you had to buy it used – or you had to download it from a service with tethered copy protection (Steam, Direct2Drive). Well, it just got better folks – ( ) now has for download at the great price of only $9.99.

No copy protection, Vista & XP compatible, and fun.

What more could you ask for right?

I have to say that lately I am getting more and more impressed with the game lineup at GoG.com which, just this week, added the famous Unreal game series creator Epic Games to their collaborator list! Yep, right now you can get Unreal Gold & Unreal Tournament for 9.99 a pop!

 
Gaming just gets better with GoG.com.
 
(Note: I am not a paid representative of GoG.com or its affiliates, I just find the service to be a good thing for the world of gamers)

Good Old Games (GOG.com) Opens its Doors in Public Beta

October 25, 2008 — Carlosjuero

Thats right, the site that I talked about in a () has opened its doors to the public for a Public Beta – one final step before going ‘gold’. I can’t tell you how much of a great resource this site is for the classic game enthusiast, games that set standards for years to come are represented (Namely, one of my favorites, the Fallout Series (, , and ).

  What are you waiting for?! Get your butt over to GoG.com and sign up for an account!

My Impressions

I got accepted a little while ago for the closed testing part of GoG.com, I have to say that I have been impressed. The GoG.com downloader [screenshot below] is easy to use (if short on features) and the games indeed are DRM free – not to mention, the games I downloaded (Fallout 1 & 2 – a steal at a combined total of only $12.00) work perfectly on Windows Vista. The website is sleek and isn’t overwhelming with useless information, it is easy to navigate (a huge plus) and the site offers additional downloads for each game (Game Manuals, music, wallpapers, and other specialties [including, just released, the ).

Lord of the Rings Online Welcome Back & Extra XP Weekend; GOG.com

October 2, 2008 — Carlosjuero

Lord of the Rings Online Welcome Back & Extra XP Weekend

From October 2nd to the 6th, will be having a ‘Welcome Back Weekend’ with Enhanced XP for all to quote “get everyone ready for the “. Starting October 2nd, past players will have their subscriptions re-activated for the weekend and be allowed to immerse themselves in the game once more to see what they have been missing out on (Yes, I am biased! So sue me ;) ); Concurrent with this event, Turbine will be activating a +25% Experience Bonus for all players – this bonus stacks with the Rested XP and should help push you along towards your goals of getting into Moria when released later this year.

Quote:

Welcome Back to LOTRO Weekend with Bonus XP!

Make sure you’re ready to take advantage of everything that Mines of Moria™ has to offer by participating in a Welcome Back Weekend which includes bonus experience for all!
From October 2-6, 2008, we’re offering free LOTRO access to our former players, and +25% bonus experience gain on mob kills* for everyone who logs in and plays. Returning players are invited to patch up, jump in, and start playing on their old characters to get them ready for Moria!
Prepare your characters for the wonder and dread of Moria by taking advantage of these bonus XP days! Tell your friends to log in and play, level your mains and alts, and get ready to Conquer the World Beneath™!
*Note: The bonus XP stacks with rest XP as well!

GOG.com (Short for Good Old Games)

I have to admit that I dropped the ball on this one, originally announced as far back as July – is going to be a veritable treasure trove for classic gamers (like myself). The company is going to be offering DRM Free PC game downloads from the era when games were games and they didn’t hog  your entire Hard Disk (remember when 2MB was big?).

They are also guaranteeing that all of the games they offer will be compatible with Windows XP & Vista (that is a long shot in my eyes, as most older games I have tried to play on Vista have had major issues – but Kudos to them if they get it to work!); With prices ranging from $5.99 to $9.99 a pop, tech support, and unique ‘extras’ – this site is sure to become a Must Bookmark on the classic gamers computers.

Look for it to come later on this year (the site currently is in a closed beta and, while there is a small banner stating ‘Coming in September 2008′ they are still in negotiations with some publishers).

I certainly hope this site becomes a success and takes off – I have been wanting to find a good source for the classic games I miss so much.

 

Until the next time, good gaming!
