Alan Wake, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, and Trine--each 75% off!

Did you know that Santa's North Pole workshop is more than just a toy factory? It's a scientific facility dedicated to research in the field of fun and entertainment. The so called "elves", are actually scholars, and--unsurprisingly--some of them would prefer a little bit less old-fashioned uniforms. You know, without the pointy shoes. Those are the ones that don't stick around after they graduate. Instead, they move a little bit south and settle down in Scandinavia, where they join game development studios. Wanna see what they do in there? Here's some [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/scandinavian_games]Scandinavian Games.

Alan Wake is an action thriller in which a burned-out author of best-selling fiction battles darkness and balances on the edge of sanity in order to save the love of his life, taken by the mysterious forces hiding in the night. It's a fascinating story that will keep you on the edge of your chair, while it provides many moments of horror, and challenges you with memorable fight sequences. Today's price: $7.49!

You'll find even more of that in Alan Wake's American Nightmare, that continues the story of Mr. Wake, as he takes on the American urban legends and common fears, that begin to come to life, fueled by the writer's mysterious dark adversary. New game modes, new scary foes, new weapons, and even more cultural references--all this and more for only $3.75!

Here's one for the fans of gritty hard Sci-Fi (and Vin Diesel). The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is a stealth/RPG/brawler testosterone-trip of a game, starring the memorable anti-hero of Pitch Black, the cat-eyed Riddick. The game also includes a refurbished edition of his critically acclaimed previous adventure, Escape from Butcher's Bay. All that badassitude for just $3.75!

If you prefer something less dark and brutal, and more colorful and cheerful, is right up your alley! This gorgeous platformer/physics puzzler, features three unique characters, each with a special set of abilities. A sneaky bow-wielding thief, a wizard with telekinetic powers, and a strong knight in heavy armor--all of them forced to undertake a dangerous quest. Considered the contemporary platforming revelation, [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/trine]Trine is only $2.49 for the next 24 hours!

Any other day you would spend about $70 on these Scandinavian Games. Today, however, you can get each of them 75% off--that means, should you choose to grab the whole package, you'll only pay a little above $17! What to do with over $50 you just saved? Most of the games from our catalog are currently up to 50% off, so it might be a good time to get some titles off that wishlist!

Happy holidays!

tinyE: I just realized Athena is a quisi-remake of Butcher Bay. Oooops!
Actually it is not, Dark Athena is another campaign, but the game includes escape from BB remake.

Thank you:)
Do you know how it stacks up to the original? Not that it matters; I can't really afford a new processor.

It's more linear than the original, but I really loved the campaign anyway. While it's got it's weak moments, there's an abundance of excellent ones as well, and also gives you some really great weapons. If you enjoyed escape from butcher's bay, you'll most likely enjoy this one as well.

matze404: Great Deal! Bought Alan Wake and The Chronicles of Riddick: Aussault on Dark Athena.

Thought a long time about buying Alan Wake and Riddick, and now it's DRM free on sale. Awesome!

I already owned Trine.

tinyE: TOTALLY off topic; ever play the 1st Riddick game, Escape From Butcher Bay? Unfortunatly my system is too weak for Dark Athena.
I just realized Athena is a quisi-remake of Butcher Bay. Oooops!
Totally on topic really since the HD remake of Butcher Bay is included with Dark Athena and in my opinion is the greatest reason to buy it in the first place. I've read Dark Athena is a decent game but not stellar. On the other hand, Butcher Bay is a masterpiece you shouldn't miss if possible if you enjoy action games.

Back when I played it (before the new HD version) I wrote this user review for the game on Gamespot: http://www.gamespot.com/the-chronicles-of-riddick-escape-from-butcher-bay/user-reviews/400243/platform/pc/

Check that out for more details as well as the Gamespot review itself. Then do yourself a favor and get this excellent game. :D

Will you be using them after the two weeks have passed? :P

I've got the original BB Directors Cut and it was one of those games that was SO GOOD I only played it five minutes at a time because I didn't want it to end.

timppu: On the other hand, three games out of four (Alan Wake, Alan Wake's American Nightmare and Trine) in this deal are actually not Scandinavian games, as Finland is not part of Scandinavia.

"Fennoscandian games" or "Nordic countries' games" would be closer to truth, but then people would be like "Huh?".


(Yeah, I'm nitpicking, so sue me. :))

MDyzzle: Yep, we know this, and we're sorry.
We had Nordic Weekend Promo just a while back, and Viking Games earlier, so, after deciding that "Fennoscandian" isn't the greatest marketing hook, a tough decision had do be made. As a form of self-punishment, we won't be using company chauffers, masseuses, and food service for two weeks.
well you could have just done actual scandinavian games for this promo though. there are a ton on here. haha.

GOG is confused by Scandinavian vs. Nordic.

I bought Riddick here just to get my hands on a digital HD remake of this classic and replay again at some point. Glad to hear you've seen it for yourself. I expect I will like Athena too but I don't expect it to be quite the game Butcher Bay is and that's okay. Not everything can reach those kind of heights.
Nice games, already have all of them in Steam but recommend all for anyone who doesn't have them yet
Ok, so I bought Riddick, but for some reason in my game downloads it shows "Windows installer (part 6 of 5), (part 7 of 5), (part 8 of 5), (part 9 of 5), (part 10 of 5)".

Is this "correct"?

I also see it like that, so it's probably a typo.
Actually downloaded the Trine demo only a few days ago, so this was good timing. The others don't interest me though.
Bought Riddick. Don't expect to get around to it for a little while, but I've been hoping to pick it up on sale for awhile.

I also see it like that which makes me think it's a typo. You can use the gog downloader and then it's just one download vs multiple (just to be safe).
