At long last GOG.com has opened its doors to anyone and everyone as it is now an open beta.
GOG.com has a rapidly expanding catalogue of publishers releasing their games for prices at $9.99 or less, most of these games are old classics that are fully Vista compatible and come with absolutely no DRM.
Check it out now.
Good Old Games was always going to be a hit with a whole bunch of old classic PC games being made available at good prices with no DRM and plentiful support. However I had one bug-bear on getting into the GOG Beta, you could only use Visa or Mastercard, this prevented me from buying games such as Fallout and Original War.
Fortunately PayPal can now be used to pay for the games on GOG. As such I have gone out and bought Fallout and Original War. Having purchased my first game on GOG I then bought Fallout 2 with my code for a free Interplay game. This offer is only available to those who signed up to the Beta before September 7th and it ends on September 22 at 11:59pm (EDT), 2008.
I can see GOG becoming an important place for many gamers to use in the future, it is damn good.
Good Old Games or GOG.com is the new venture from CD Projekt, the team behind The Witcher. Good Old Games is the latest entrant into the world of Digital Games Distribution and already has several key features that will set it aside from the competition when it launches in September.
