  1. Another possibility.. by Cookie3 · · Score: 1 · on What's the Best Video Game Download Service?

    I recently happened to stumble across Good Old Games -- GOG.com -- which is a (supposedly) new download site. If it lives up to the claims on the first page, it'll singlehandedly be the best direct download game site ever. No DRM, cheap (under $10) games, Vista/XP-compatibility, after-sales support, etc.

    Whether it's legit or not, and/or whether it's actually capable of being as awesome as it sounds remains to be seen. Supposed to go live sometime this month (but we're running out of month, so..)

  2. There is only one answer: Good Old Games by Dimble+ThriceFoon · · Score: 1 · on What's the Best Video Game Download Service?

    http://www.gog.com/en/about_us/ You buy it, you keep it. Don't let your DRMs turn into nightmares (clever, no?). You won't find any intrusive copy protection in our games; we hate draconian DRM schemes just as much as you do, so at GOG.com you don't just buy the game, you actually own it. Once you download a game, you can install it on any PC and re-download it whenever you want, as many times as you need, and you can play it without an internet connection.

  4. Re:If you play WoW, it's worth it. by mfh · · Score: 1 · on WoW: Wrath of the Lich King Release Date Announced

    I'll get far more playing time out of this add-on than I have gotten out of any other recent game purchase.

    Meanwhile I've been checking out gog.com and I got Fallout 1 & 2 to mess around with until WotLK.

    I'm pretty excited about the new content. I have an undead warlock with 4pc t6, plus 550 resil in my pvp gear. The game recently has become rather dull as you can imagine.

    Warlocks in the expansion look like they will be amazing. I'll prolly lvl a Death Knight after my main gets to endgame, but likely not before.

  5. GOG.com by JoeFaust · · Score: 5, Informative · on What Modern Games Are DRM-Free?

    Good Old Games has just entered beta. They are offering older games for $5.99 - $9.99, completely DRM free. They've got some great games in their catalog, including Fallout & Freespace.

    Being DRM Free is one of their major selling points.
