Help me choose a game from GoG!

[theriddlen]

Today i checked my account on CD-Projekt's (polish publisher) site, and it turns out that i can get one of games on GoodOldGames for free. There are lots of famous classic games i haven't played, and i can't really decide which one i should get - so i ask you. List of interesting ones:

-Baldurs Gate 2 Complete
-Baldurs Gate: The Original Saga
-Beyond Good & Evil
-Commandos 2+3
-Disciples 2 Gold
-Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition
-Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project
-Empire Earth 3
-Fallout
-Fallout 2
-Fallout Tactics
-FarCry
-Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Complete Edition
-Heroes of Might and Magic 4 Complete
-Jagged Alliance 2
-Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Edition
-Painkiller Black Edition
-Planescape Torment
-Postal 2 Complete
-Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
-Serious Sam: The First Encounter
-Serious Sam: The Second Encounter
-Stronghold
-Unreal Gold
-Unreal Tournament 2004 ECE
-Unreal Tournament GOTY

As you can see, my dilemma is understandable. Which one should i get?

hmm, Heroes 3 was an epic game, i'd say that or fallout. but i bought the entire original fallout pack for either 10 or 20 bucks, including Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics, so i'd say buy that pack.

postal 2 was also fun, but you can get that free if you buy the movie (hey, i hate Uwe Bolle as much as the next guy, but that was a good movie, i don't care who disagrees.)

the 4th one is way worse, even if you dont take my reccomendation on the third, please take the 4th off your list its soooo bad.

I agree. Remove the fourth one for science's sake. Keep the third one though, the third one is freakin' awesome.

FPS: Any Unreal Tournament (except UT3) - Fast-paced, classic FPS fun. Explosions and gore everywhere and it's a thousand times better if you're tired of the modern "gritty" FPSes.
RTS/Sort of Sim-ish: Stronghold - Oh sweet Darwin, so much awesome. Humorous, difficult and fun. I'd look into getting the entire collection on Steam though. (Crusader Extreme and the original Stronghold are the two best.)
TBS: Heroes of Might and Magic 3 - Awesome turn-based Strategy with a bit of RPG in it. Great fun with friends, but the single player campaign doesn't disappoint.
RPG: Fallout 2 (Or Planescape, I've heard it's great.) - My favourite RPG of all time, of all time! It has immense freedom and choice. You can shoot ANYONE you want, but you will need to face the consequences. (You might, for example, end up killing an NPC that's vital for your progress, which in some cases might end with you having to restart the entire game, but there are more often ways to go around things like these.) There's also a lot of fun quirky stuff hidden in the game.

Those are the ones that I would recommend the most.

Wait, WHY are you getting it for free?

 

[DazZ.]

Far Cry is a really, really good single player FPS.

Planescape: Torment is a brillient RPG, but Neverwinter Nights might last you longer as it has a feck load of custom campaigns. Planescapes story will be better than any of them though.

UT2004 I'll bet is still being played for multiplayer fps, large amount of mods for that as well.

I'm looking forward to some more opinions, right now everyone recommends something different
Also, i removed the Heroes IV, as you requested.

Wait, WHY are you getting it for free?

Loyalty program - you get points for registering games. Also, it's awesomeness has something to do with the fact that CD-Projekt's (this publisher, also dev of Witcher 2) and GoG's offices are in the same building.

This should help. Unless you're an RPG fan.

Don't be cheap, buy them all! But if I had to choose I'd say Torment (cause it's may all time fav), buuut, I saw Disciples 2 in there and it struck a nostalgia chord in me. Check it out.

Unreal Tournament 2004 ECE
one of the funnest fps' ever made

 

[DeadlyYellow]

All of them. But my personal advisers are a bunch of dead presidents, so I go with what's on sale.

Looks like Sacred today. Who knows what the weekend will bring.

If you like RPGs, Baldurs Gate 2 Complete is the way to go, no question.

this man speaks the truth...

Heroes 3 is still one of my favorite games, while 4 was... "icky" I guess is the word I'm looking for...

 

[theriddlen]

Also, what is the point of Postal 2? I've heard the whole point of it was to just find more creative ways to kill innocent people.

No it's not. And it is quite a good game. I have Postal 2, but i added it to list because i have the most basic version, while GoG one is with Apocalypse Weekend expansion and Share The Pain. But i don't think i'll choose it.
