It's a cool game.  I picked it and No Regret up on a sale I believe on GoG a while back.  I'll take DRM free over tied to Origin anyday and they're only like $6 each even without the sale.

 

The developer is now working on Star Citizen if anyone is interested:

you can't magically make an old 2d sprite game hi rez.

 

 

Lies. Someone told me that with a $150 HDMI cable and a special gaming prayer I can make every game run at 4K res on my PS1. You obviously don't understand the programming world. Also, your rich uncle died in Nigeria and left you $100,000,000. Contact me for details on how to pay my small commission fee of $50,000 to claim your inheritance.

Theme Hospital is now free.

 

They are blowing me away with these freebies . . . . . . . . .

The Sims 4 was added to Game Time (and Battlefield 4 returns to Game Time).

 

Apparently, for all the moanage and groanage about Crysis 3, it's not underperforming enough to land there.

Theme Hospital is worth more than any of those modern games.

i loved the game when it first came out.

 

 

but trying it again now, i cannot get past the old graphics and interface.   it is just not fun.

my gaming tastes changed though,   and i have not played SIM or strategy for over 10 years now, so that could be the reason

 

 

but yeah, depending on the game, graphics can be important or not. 

 

i just played grim fandango remastered, and except for main characters, and music, the backgrounds did not change, and still look amazing.  the only think that i really cared was controls, since that was the biggest change!

i am a sucker for adventure games.

Not quite free but you can get Syndicate Wars on GoG.com for under $6. You can get both together for under $10. I picked them both up from there somewhere along the way.

 

but, it's not free. I like things for free :D

 

free just has a lovley ring to it :rofl:

I like free things too! :D

That's why I didn't mention Syndicate earlier because by all means get it for FREE from Origin.  However you expressed interest in Syndicate Wars which Origin isn't currently offering for free (and we don't know they will ever do so) so I just thought I'd let you know it was available for cheap from GoG in case you weren't aware.  Sure cheap isn't as good as free but cheap NOW is better than MAYBE getting it free at some point in the future IMHO.  If you're not interested though that's fine too. :)

this is all true, how ever I already have syndicate and syndicate wars for my amiga, which is still alive and kicking :D :D.

 

getting it sometime down the line for free is just a bonus :)

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
