GOG is a standup service and much better than Steam. It's non-invasive, Fallout 2 works like a dream on Vista, and it's cheap.

I got Fallout 1 & Fallout 2 for a total of $5.99 when they were still in beta.

I wonder if they can strike a deal with Bioware to put their classics (which Interplay published) on Steam as well. That would be awesome.

What's there to be excited about? These games are extremely old and have been on the market for ages.

You know how everyone screams for a remake of FF7 and what not?

Screw that.

Planescape is not only one of the best WRPGs, it is arguably the best.

Let's see a remake of that one with the original voice actors.

They've been on the market long enough to be off the market. Old games are hard to find since there is close to zero used market on PC games. Also, Steam is a lot more convenient than disks.

They've been on the market long enough to be included in various PC magazines for $5-10

Only some of them, and it doesn't really matter since you never know when those games will show up in the mag, if they even show up... it could take years before that happens. Planescape Torment for example, I'm 99% sure it has never been out with a mag, and is nowhere to be bought.

It's been on a magazine DVD before, at least in Germany.

But I agreee with Shio and others, I also hope all the classic Bioware/BI RPGs will be on a download service some day. I'd prefer GOG.

@shio

How many games did u buy in the last year?

Well Planescape Torment, Fallout 2 , Fallout Tactics and Icewind Dale showed up in mags years ago. Even if you missed a magazine you can still order the old ones. (Shouldn't be older than 2 years though)

Anyway they will show up again in no time.
