Not bad. I'm tempted to get the Arx Fatalis + Stonekeep one. Also if you already own one of the games in a pack but still want the other one, you'll be able to get it for 25% off.

That's so weird that they've grouped Giants and Sacrifice together.

I always group those games together in my mind, like a lot of people I've seen on the net. Actually, I group those two with Alice in my head.

And it has to be said, GoG is pretty cool.

I enjoy the GoG.  But yeah, those are decent bundles.  If I didn't already own most of the games, I'd probably get one!

Yea I group Giants and Sacrifice together too, along with MDK2. I'm not sure why. I haven't played Giants or Sacrifice though, so I don't even know if there's any similarities.

I may get Giants + Sacrifice. I was already considering Giants, and had been meaning to look up info on Sacrifice to see if it was any good. And for some reason I'm tempted to buy Redneck Rampage hahaha. I have Painkiller so it would be $4.50. Seems like a low price for a cheap laugh.

And just in case anyone doesn't have Sacrifice yet, allow me to offer you some sage advice: EFFING BUY IT!!

Hmmm...Freespace series sounds like an interesting deal...

How do they compare to the Egosoft X Series?

They're different. Freespace is more focused on the flight combat, there's no economy or management (beyond shield management) to worry about, it's all space combat action.

Egosoft's X series would be more comparable to games like Freelancer, Darkstar One, or Escape Velocity (but with a different perspective).

Cool.

Though, I do like having all the extra stuff X series put at your fingertips...w/ the economy and management.

X3: Reunion is pretty awesome, I must say.

Really? Darkstar One is more like X series?
I figured Darkstar would be more combat-orientated...

Oh yeah, Freelancer was pretty good, as well.

Don't get me wrong it is one of the best space combat sim out there (I'll still argue that it IS the best).

Darkstar One and Freelancer are exactly the same sort of gameplay. DSO is kinda like a nextgen revamp of Freelancer.

Thanks for clarifying things up, X.

Both Freespace series and DSO do sound even more kick-ass, since you put it that way...
