Sit back, take a few deep breaths and prepare your diaphragm for Simon the Sorcerer, the first part of the classic point-and-click adventure game series by Adventure Soft. The game offers truckloads of parody and cliché humor and doesn't mind breaking the old "fourth wall". After all, what better way to prove someone is, say, a wizard, than to tell them "It says so when I move my mouse pointer over you"? To put a long story short, it's hours of laughs for only $5.99.

Heartily recommended, nonetheless :D

Experience fast-paced action in a vast and authentic universe in DarkStar One, a space action adventure game with spectacular graphic, freedom of choice, and a gripping storyline, as the young hero Kayron Jarvis, a talented escort pilot, discover clues surrounding a secret your murdered father was hiding.

An unknown technology hidden within your ship, the DarkStar One, appears to be the key - but then an unforeseen twist dramatically changes the course of events. Delve deep into the galaxy, discovering new races, solar systems, technologies, and ever-stronger opponents as you travel on your epic journey.

DarkStar One features an elaborate story, related by more than fifty minutes of video sequences. You can choose and upgrade your spaceship - a fast attack ship with many light weapons or a near-invincible cruiser with heavy weaponry.

The Feeble Files

The Feeble Files, which some of you may remember as Floyd, is a point-and-click adventure game by Adventure Soft. The protagonist, aptly named Feeble, works at the Crop Circle Division of the Ministry of Galactic Uncertainty and makes a living off sowing paranoia among undeveloped races in the name of progress. His mostly happy (or else!) life got complicated when he found himself in the middle of a rebellion. Luckily our hero was raised to be a survivor and with a little cross-dressing and backstabbing he is more than capable of overcoming any obstacle the OmniBrain throws at him.

Broken Sword 2 - The smoking Mirror

The Broken Sword series is constantly placed on the list of best games ever written and BS2: The Smoking Mirror is no exception. Yet another point-and-click game, this time a bit more serious one, which doesn't necessarily mean there's no humor involved. The game features an absorbing plot and cartoon-style graphics with beautiful, hand-drawn backgrounds. You start the game as George Stobbart, an adventurer who finds himself tied to a chair with a poisonous spider lurking in the room, right after witnessing his friend, Nico, being kidnapped. After that the suspense only escalates, right until the end.

Not interested in feeble but might get Broken Sword 2 even though i played it years ago :)

Broken sword 3

Once more time George Stobbart and Nico Collard must travel the world, wrestling danger and piecing together the clues that will unravel the secrets of the Sleeping Dragon.

They are drawn into a terrifying conspiracy to harness on an ancient power. Brought together by fate, coincidence and the intriguing mystery, they will fight sinister forces, uncover an ancient conspiracy, and discover a fiendish source of pure evil.

Lured into the steamy jungles of the Congo, eerie castles in Prague, the chick back-streets of Paris and the historic English village of Glastonbury, the duo must unravel the mystery involving the 'Voynich Manuscript' which holed the secrets of the ultimate evil power, The Sleeping Dragon and save the mankind.

From the creators of Lure of the Temptress and Beneath a Steel Sky goes the Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon, third instalment in the Broken Sword series.

Panzer Elite is a realistic tank combat simulator with a ton of features to offer for a game of its age. If you like tanks, you're probably not even reading this and have already added the game to your cart. The single player scenario offers believable missions, often including large engagements, which are closely based on actual events. As the war grinds on you will be able to change and modify your tanks and their crews will gain experience. In this game you're not an epic hero who saves the world and you won't always make a difference even if you complete your assignment to the letter. Get in, close the hatch and do your duty, soldier.

To anyone who likes a fast-paced game, especially if it's a first-person shooter, Painkiller is the embodiment of awesomeness. As a tough, strong-willed man trapped in Purgatory, you're tasked with killing Lucifer's generals before you can ascend into Heaven. Between you and your goal stand uncountable hordes of enemies. Lucky for you you've got a unique arsenal of weapons at your disposal, from the brutal Stake Gun to the Electro, which shoots shuriken and lightning. To make things even more enjoyable, heavy metal music accompanies every second of combat.Awesome game, 'nuff said

Spellforce is a game set in a fantasy world. Create your hero - an avatar who will lead your armies - and embark on a journey to save the world. Sometimes you will be allowed a break from commanding your troops and enjoy a bit of relaxing hack-n-slash action. All this packed into a set of nice visuals, for your gaming pleasure. Stronghold Crusader, as the name implies, is set in the Middle-East, in the age of the Crusades. Compared to its predecessor, this game puts more emphasis on combat than economics and includes additional units for you to send into battle.

Disciples Pack
http://www.gog.com/en/page/disciples_pack

Step into the shoes of John Cord, operative of Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service, more colloquially known as MI6. You've been sent on a rescue mission, your goal: retrieve a missing CIA agent, Scott Kiefer, who just happens to be your old friend. The assignment quickly becomes a lot more complicated, eventually growing into a mission to save the global balance of power. You will have to sneak and improvise your way through enemy installations and apply force if necessary. In Cold Blood shows that, in the spy business, only the most ruthless and most badass survive.

Next week marks the release of another game from JoWood - The Guild: Gold Edition.

The Gold Edition consists of the original game - Europa 1400: The Guild and its expansion pack. It's an economical strategy game with a touch of RPG. It is the year 1400, when the nobility's influence dwindles more and more, in favor of the increasingly rich and powerful merchants and businessmen. You are one of the latter and there is much to be done. Create your character and reach a specific goal, which can be anything from survival, through earning a certain amount of money, to building a respected and powerful dynasty. A must-have for anyone with a flare for business.
