This was the first game that made me go "woah...so this is what the future looks like." I have way too many fond memories of playing Escape from Butcher Bay after school and just being completely immersed in the world.

Honestly the fact this and DA aren't already over here is kind of dumb. Easy sale. I played one of these way back in the day on the xbox and then on the 306, so this would be an instant buy.
I really enjoyed the movie. I also dreamed of playing it as a kid, but then I had a weak computer and it wouldn't even start.... and it's been 20 years. I don't want to look for the pirate version, it would spoil the impression. I hope to launch this game someday and feel 2004 again.

An impressive simulator at its best. All Riddick games must be on GOG. I loaded the game for the first time as a kid, without knowing much about it and was blown away by the atmosphere and graphics. The gameplay was amazing too. I had never experienced anything like it at that point. One of the best first-person games of all time.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom PainMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the sequel to Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and a prequel to the original Metal Gear. The game has a complex story with long cut-scene sequences, but there are fewer and they are shorter compared to earlier Metal Gear Solid titles. Most of the gameplay mechanics introduced in Ground Zeroes are carried over: it is still an action game and stealth oriented but replaces the linear corridor design from most earlier titles with large open world environments that offer the player unrestricted freedom for the approach. The world has now a real-time day and night cycle and various weather effects that influence enemy behaviour, visibility and sound. Sabotaging or destroying certain structures can also influence other parts of the map.
