Will Good Old Games have System Shock 2 soon, becuase that's one of the main reasons I signed up, and I just now got my access code.

Eventually they will be, just not now...although it hasn't really been confirmed, I get the feeling it will come out for GOG just not during the beta probably alongside the site launch...I just get that feeling

that's entirely up to EA, as they still own the rights. So far they've proven more than happy to just let the game sit and languish in abandonware hell, so it's prety much exactly what GoG's mission statement describes.

System shock 2 and planescape is what I am hoping for. I'd say give it some time.

As for blizzard games well now that blizzard sells them digital distribution as well as the fact they continue to hover in the top 10 sales list for retail pc every month chances are they will never come to gog.com.

Doesn't really seem like gog's style to have them anyways. I mean I know they are good games and they are old, but I see gog as being a portal for all those games thats that were great but overlooked over the years, like giants: citizen kabuto or MDK. Anyone who has played them, its hard to argue those arn't great games.

I'm just happy I'll be able to play MDK again. I owned it way back, lost the discs but last time I had them I tried to run them on xp and it was a no go.

Redneck Rampage is on the website as "coming soon." I've never played it before but the games on GoG are so inexpensive that I'm willing to give almost anything a try.

Open beta I believe lasts till september 21 or 22. Site should launch very shortly after that. My guess is at least by beginning of october.

Worms 2, I hope they get that game as well. That must have been the only game I played throughout 6th grade. Awesome game as well.

Nope, everything costs money. The games range from $6-$10 (although most right now are at the $5.99 price point), They also don't have every game every made (obviously) but they're supposedly going to add more all the time. It's an interesting concept and I really hope it succeeds.

Ideally, if the games they do have sell well enough, it might be a good enough incentive for other developers to dust off some of their classic old titles and make them available for download.

Another benefit of GoG is that all of their games will work on both Vista and XP.

Honestly, it's one of those ideas where you kind of wonder, "why didn't anybody think of this before?"

well they prolly did think of it before, but a... didnt want to get into all the licensing agreements... b. have the money to start with... c. didnt have the backing, and d. didnt have the advertising.. i mean look at us, we are perfect advertising agents for this kind of thing lol, we are doing it even right now. maybe in the past this wouldnt have worked out as well..

Maybe they got tired of seeing the crap developers put out now days. Many of the games that come out now are just these uninspired rehashes of games we played last year except now just in a shinier box and a bigger price tag. I mean sure its not like this doesn't apply to old games, but take fallout or Baldur's gate for example. They are still better than most rpgs out today, and they are cheaper.
