THQ could have survived if it had gone all digital

January 29, 2013 at 8:45 am | 33 Comments

What’s the difference between THQ and my love life? None, because they’re both dead. Now that the former video game publisher is bereft of life and it’s various franchises divided and scattered to the four corners of the earth, it’s time for a little hindsight. Particularly from former THQ boss Jason Rubin, who laments the fact that THQ never made a move into digital markets.

GOG relaunches, expect more indie and mainstream games

March 27, 2012 at 2:30 pm | 2 Comments

There are plenty of great digital distribution sites on the net right now, such as Steam and Gamers Gate, but one of my personal favourites will always be Good Ol’ Games, or GOG as they’re more widely known as.

GOG has always been that site to visit when you’re in the mood for some classic games, titles which will take you on a nostalgic road trip. They recently relaunched their site today, with more titles than ever before, as well as quite a few more mainstream games for players seeking something more contemporary.

Good Old Games, everybody's favourite digital distribution service for retro goodness, recently passed the six million downloads mark. And having reached such a significant milestone, GOG has decided to extend their gratitude to everybody, by allowing for a free download of the classic puzzle and adventure game, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templar's.

Pirating The Witcher 2 Could Get You Fined!

November 23, 2010 at 2:30 pm | 3 Comments

CD Projeckt’s The Witcher was a pretty damned good single-player RPG (and it had boobs!). The sequel, due soon, is being shipped without any forms of overtly draconian DRM (if purchased from GoG.com) – and being a single player game it’s especially prone to being pirated. You might not want to add this one to your list of torrents when it releases next year though, because CD Projeckt will be actively hunting down pirates – who could face fines and legal action.
