Never bought anything from GOG but I'm really tempted by Theme Hospital, only dabbled in the original and loved Theme Park.
It's intentional, stays like that regardless of your location. The conversion rate depends on your payment provider.
They all show in $ apart from the Witcher 2.
never tried to change it so don't know whether it's possible. Doubt it.

To The Moon looks interesting. Think I'll grab both of those new releases.

Just thought I'd bump this thread to recommend that anyone with a shred of goodness in them purchase To The Moon.
It's a borderline masterpiece -- less a game, and more an interactive movie/story in a 16-bit format, but it's excellent through and through. The music is amazing, the story is engrossing, touching, and quite frankly beautiful.
Spent the last 45 minutes to an hour of the game with tears in my eyes, and finally broke down completely at the end. In front of the wife.
-100000000 Man Points, and a gaming experience I for one will remember forever. Get it.

I don't like touching games, has to be gorish for that sort of thing
Best level for me on that front was the Hotel level on Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines
Amazing level.

Have to admit, that haunted hotel was awesome, sent a shiver down my spine that one. No other game has ever managed that since.
I bought it on a whim a few days ago. It's in my pile of shame at the moment but it will get played at some point.

With the 50% saving at the moment I'm considering that, but never really played point and click adventures. Is it a good entry to try, as don't fancy a frustrating game now a days.
To The Moon looks interesting too, until I saw the price. Didn't realise it was a 2011 game.
See, I'm not sure I want to play a game that does that to me. Dear Esther came close - affecting and vaguely disturbing depending on your interpretation of it, but not exactly an enjoyable experience.
