I'm currently playing thief gold, just started, on mission #3.  some recommendations before you play. check your version number, my version from GOG is using new dark 1.21 i believe and i would also install the latest TFix patch and the HD mod.

HD Mod..  http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135188

I am currently using these without problem so far on GOG version.

Here's a couple of shot of the HD mod, looks alot better than the stock.

Thief rocks. I hope the upcoming game can live up to its lineage.

Thanks eyebiter!  Game is currently OOS (out of Steam keys) on Amazon, but I was able to apply the credit.  Credit is good for 2 weeks (I think), so I should be able to get Thief when its back in stock.

Looks like its back in stock.  Just got my code.  Thanks again.

Space Empires IV Delux (the best 4x Space Strategy Game Ever) is less than $4.00 on www.gog.com
Sales on many other wargames or strategy games this weekend.

Also, Splinter Cell:Blacklist is on sale - 66% off. Both are superb games.

Huh. I didn't know GoG had a working copy of the Strategy First version of the very first Combat Mission game. (On sale this week for $4.)

I got a little ticked this weekend with Steam and the Ubisoft sale. Far Cry 3 was only $6.49. Admittedly I didn't jump on it immediately but waited until later in the day, then when I went to buy it the damned thing was not on sale any more - it went up to $19.49 or so and Steam had a message that said, "We're sorry, we ran out of keys." Apparently some that got it at that lower price didn't get a key for it, so at least I didn't get hosed there and have to wait.

I did pick up World In Conflict, though. 8)

WiC was a great game in its day. However, now that Wargame is here, I'll probably never touch WiC again...

The Gamersgate newsletter says they'll have Crysis 3 on sale for 70% off some day this week IIRC.  Along with other daily deals like Endless Space Emperor's Edition 75% off.

GamersGate has a few nice sales going on, including ones for Endless Space, the Command & Conquer collection and the Mass Effect trilogy.  Given all that I've heard about the ME series over the years, I think I have to go ahead and finally get it.

The only downside I can see is that the former requires Steam (which some like and others don't) and the latter two have: "DRM:EA Origin (Requires a third-party download and account)" which is a lot worse IMHO. I have wanted to buy the Mass Effect games for years, but it looks like I will have to pass on them again.

[Martok]

Crap.  I missed the part about ME requiring EA Origin.  :(
