Yeah, this is a win. Hopefully GoG gets SWAT4 Gold as well.

Even though I have that through Direct2Drive…I actually might buy it again from GoG if they get it. I am such a whore.

Don’t feel bad about it. So many of us are, about these things…

Yay! I’m not alone!

“Hello, I’m Brian, and I’m a compulsive shopper and PC game collector…”

“HI BRIAN!”

I think Betty Ford is opening a ward for your kind to be called the Rubin Wing.

Hi Brian, I’m Fenris. I also collect games. I just like knowing I have them in case I ever want to play them.

Oh you’re not alone Brian, trust me… you’re not alone.

Hell yeah, I have many games I’ve bought twice, a few even three times.

The worst is movies though - I bought Gladiator 4 times so far :-(

Does SWAT 3 have randomized enemies like in 4? Actually, is there any reason to get 3 over 4? SWAT 4 in coop is so much fun.

Yes, it does.

Not really, at least in this case. D2D games are DRM’d. I couldn’t install the retail SWAT4 expansion with my D2D SWAT4, either, which pissed me off.

That whole “I can dump the install on my backup drive and never have to worry about cdkey activation shit or have Steam installed” is a powerful siren’s song for repurchasing games you already have from GoG.

Oh, ew, that sucks. Yeah, you have a better reason to rebuy SWAT 4 on GoG than I do. :)

Wait, SWAT 4 is coming?

Dayum. More goodness! ETA?

Edit: and also yes, is there any reason to get SWAT 3 over 4?

BrianRubin · 2011-06-30T17:06:12.000Z

Nonono, we HOPE it’s coming.

If you have to choose, I’d definitely go with 4, but they’re both good. 3 has worse graphics and the interface isn’t as good as in 4, but it’s still worth playing.

BrianRubin · 2011-06-30T18:42:10.000Z

They’re both awesome games and both are worth playing, but 4 has an edge in a few areas.

What resolutions is Alpha Centauri restricted to? Can it scale up to 1680x1050? I hesitate, as much as I want it, to buy it if it can max out at 1024x768 because then it’s very hard to see on my laptop and causes a lot of eyestrain.

Higher screen resolution or windowed mode for Alpha Centauri?

I guess the title says it all. I'm curious if there's any way to get Alpha Centauri to play at a higher resolution than 1024x768 (my laptop screen is...

I remember reviewing this for GamesDomain. Best game I ever played that came completely out of left field. I had no expectations when I started playing it and was rewarded with months of excellent game play.

Strato · 2011-07-07T05:29:25.000Z

Rollercoaster Tycoon that works with Windows 7? Sold.

I just hope they manage to get RCT 2 happening.

Same here! Got a review copy without knowing a damned thing, and it wound up eating my soul.
