GoG also have a (
http://www.gog.com/en/wanted/) wishlist for their members to say which games they would like to add to the GoG collection. Currently System Shock 2 is #1, and System Shock is #3 :) Whilst it would be nice, I haven't seen any Eidos games on there yet so I guess they'd need to negotiate with them.

I wouldn't hold your breath. That's been on there probably since the dang website existed. We'll see in the next 10 years (lol) if gog can get them up.

Eidos? Surely you mean EA, right?

Yes you're right, this is what happens when I post late at night! EA for System Shock I & II, Eidos for the Thief series. I'd be VERY surprised if EA put any of their games on GoG.

... but I'd love it if they did. They have a large back catalog of exellent games.

So I bought The Longest Journey and Psychonauts from GOG.com. My first purchases. I didn't like installing their own soft for downloading (okay, it's not necessary), but it worked fine, so I guess it's ok.
Anyways, The longest Journey has so so so much voice-acting in it. It's just amazing. Lots of unimportant dialogue as well. I've only just entered Ancardia, but I think this might end up as my favourite adventure game.

Man, I wish *I* hadn't played that game way too many times so I could enjoy it again.
And then you get Dreamfall afterwards!

Which was a major change from the original, and a bit of a dissapointment, for me, at least. The moment combat (!?) came into play, I ditched the game and put it next to Jade Empire as another huge letdown.
What were they thinking?

DIfferent strokes and all that, but what were you thinking? Those are 2 very good games.

A. Agree that the game was initially a disappointment, but after replaying it I came to appreciate it as much as TLJ - some ways obviously worse (said combat) but in some ways better (considerably more ambitious story, better art design).
B. In other words, you ditched the game very early in the process. What you may not realize is that combat takes up a miniscule portion of the game. It sucks, but it's easy and it's barely there, so it doesn't subtract from the game in any substantial way.
As for Jade Empire....that's pretty much the opposite. Love it or hate it, Dreamfall at least tried to do something new and interesting. Jade Empire was Bioware shoe-horning every generic character archetype and sidequest they'd ever come up with into a simplistic CHINESE world and making it all revolve around a plot with considerably less depth than the first Star Wars. Also, the combat system is VERY prominent in that title, while not being really any better than Dreamfall's.
