In case you didn't know - perfect M11 games

I'm going to throw this out there for those who are older than their teens....

I'm increasingly finding that the perfect source for games for the M11x is GOG (no, they aren't paying me, no I'm not employed by them - this is pure 100% fanboy). They carry a ton of older games, and many of them are bona fide classics. For example, if you're a big fan of Dragon Age, maybe you should spend some time checking it's origins (like that?) in the form of Baldurs Gate, Baldurs Gate 2, Icewind Dale and of course Planescape Torment.

Most of the games from Gog, because they are old, don't require the Nividia card to be running either, which means you can curl up on a couch and happily spend 4 to 6 hours gaming on battery in some absolutely awesome titles. I'm running through Fallout 2 and IceWind Dale II at the moment and loving every second.

 

I've already played Baldur's Gate II through on my R2. Man that game was awesome in its day. I've got an entire shelf of Bioware titles to rip through one day. Too many games, not enough time. :/

 

lol yeah know that feeling. I played Baldurs Gate through end to end in it's day, but not 2, so I bought that. In fact, I bought them all - just like Steam there's nothing better than having diskless (legal) games sitting on the baby alien just ready to go. I swear they call to me in the wee dark hours of the night.

 

Man I love Baldur’s gate, one of the greatest games ever in my book. Will defiantly check out Gog to download it when my m11x get here. I know I have the disks somewhere but pretty sure there scratched beyond readable. Thanks for the tip

 

You're welcome. They're very very cheap there too.

 

Great suggestions froogle I like

 

GOG is great, but the majority of their catalog is strategy, RPG, and point-and-click adventure. I'd love more action and old-school racing games. My ultimate wish would be for them to get Carmageddon 2. The game is playable on Windows 7, but it requires patches, emulators, and a bunch of work to get up to speed properly. The old Need for Speed Games, from the original through Porsche Unleashed would be awesome to have, but I'm sure EA will hand over licensing when there's a snowball fight in hell.

 

KOTOR is too, but the Intel IGP on either system is barely gonna cut it with particle effects

 

I never knew about GoG.

Thanks!
