Good Old Games Adds Unreal Series, Keeps Things DRM-Free
Posted 11/18/08 at 10:45:22 PM | by Nathan Grayson
With the phrase now appended to read, "I'd rather get a root canal while playing a DRM'ed game [than date/know/look at you]," the time is right to take a stand against DRM -- and also brush the dust off a few classic games in the process. So, if you haven't already, definitely point your web browser in Good Old Games' direction. Especially now that the totally DRM-free service has added Epic's Unreal series to its ranks.
Already, Unreal Gold and Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition are offering their services in exchange for low, low prices, with Unreal II: The Awakening and Unreal Tournament 2004: Editor's Choice Edition arriving "in the coming weeks."
"We know that a lot of gamers have been waiting for new deals," said GOG managing director Adam Oldakowski. "We're sure that the Unreal games will satisfy their lust for alien blood and intense multiplayer action... DRM-free, of course."
GoG also boasts games like Fallout, Gothic, and MDK, for prices ranging from $5.99-$9.99. Now go check it out! Show publishers that you'll be good boys and girls -- even without DRM's far-too-watchful eye looming heavy. If nothing else, it's a much more effective statement than complaining in our comments section (which we still encourage!).

Unreal2 TA was a good game I think maybe I will reinstall it and replay it. How come that game never got any attention when it was new?
BTW GameTap has Fallout for free. You dont even need to sighn up with a card to get it on their system. And yes it hashad all the Serious Sam games for a while now. And also, Grimm is freaken bomb if you havent tryed it already.
I think I may be in love.....

I have gotten twelve games from GOG now. With their expanding library and low price, I doubt that I will ever purchase a new release again.

This looks interesting and may have potential. Is this a Steam-like service where it keeps a catalog of games you purchased and can download them anytime?
Still ... I certainly will be watching this in the coming months to see if anything better is for sale here (a few games look interesting). I would love to see Serious Sam on this or on Steam.
