The game is split into five acts. Act I and II are available now

Or are you talking about Act III?

I didn't know Red Faction was on GOG.:o

The second one is definitely not as good as the first. If you were going to choose between the two I'd get the first one. The Geomod stuff is actually pretty cool imo. Was real fun in multiplayer. (You can play against bots.)

The Geomod stuff ONLY shined in MP. It was almost completely fucking worthless during Red Faction 1's SP campaign. Occasionally make a different route or discover a secret area, that was it. They used it even more sparingly as the game went on.

Overall RF1 was a bad Half-Life clone that's aged terribly. Even at release it felt old compared to the likes of Half-Life 1 and Unreal, despite being released ~3 years later. Piss poor animation, Quake 2 levels of shit AI, ugly graphics. I wouldn't blame the latter most on being a PS2 port either because there were FAR FAR better looking early gen PS2 games than it. The less said about the missions with "optional stealth", the better.

Red Faction's shining moments as a franchise begins and ends with the beautiful gem that is Guerilla. It was real shame that THQ forced Volition to follow it up with a linear horror shooter.

For once I completely agree with the severity of Evabot's comments.

Appropriately for a day that is all about celebrating ~~love and romance~~ mass consumption, Dungeon Keeper is currently free on GOG - for the next 48hrs, I believe.

The last good SimCity?

GOG is launching a client product called 'Galaxy' as a competitor to Steam. News (http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/06/05/gog-announces-galaxy_2c00_-a-client-to-compete-with-steam.aspx?utm_content=bufferb4f56&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer) here.

This is good news. I like GOG for its old games and no DRM policy, but the downside is their downloads and patching policy. I'd love a Steamesque GOG client.

You beat me to it, Sneaksie. While I don't have a problem with Steam or it's unobtrusive DRM scheme, I love seeing some competition. I greatly prefer the Steam/iOS/Linux way of having a monolithic client handling all your programs. It's a much cleaner, far simpler way of keeping everything organized and up to date.

Holy shit, welcome to this decade finally GOG. I'm gonna be all over this like white on rice.
