It <em>is<\/em> kinda obvious from their name (\u201cGood Old Games\u201d, for the uninitiated) that their games are old (by the standards of time and not gameplay) and that they are great. These games have aged gracefully and even now are pretty much the best the world of gaming has to offer. So when GOG.com launches <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/promo\/adventure\">a weekend sale<\/a> of <em>The Longest Journey<\/em> and <em>Sanitarium<\/em> it is hard to rein in your excitement. These games are nothing short of AWESOME when it comes to the adventure genre (which is my second favorite genre \u2013 the first being its focused cousin, the RPG).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cache.techie-buzz.com\/images\/postimg\/GOG.comAdventureWeekendSale50OffonTwoGre_7FE5\/LongestJourney.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline; border: 0px;\" title=\"LongestJourney\" src=\"http:\/\/cache.techie-buzz.com\/images\/postimg\/GOG.comAdventureWeekendSale50OffonTwoGre_7FE5\/LongestJourney_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"LongestJourney\" width=\"171\" height=\"280\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/gamecard\/the_longest_journey\"><em>The Longest Journey<\/em><\/a><em>: <\/em>One <em>very<\/em> long game, this game also has one of the best stories around. As April, an 18 year-old art student, you will shift between the reality of Stark and the dream-world of Arcadia. Stepping into each of these realms through portals and doorways, you will have to maintain the balance of these two worlds through your actions. Beautifully written and executed, I bought this game as soon as I found out that it was on sale. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/gamecard\/the_longest_journey\">Buy it<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cache.techie-buzz.com\/images\/postimg\/GOG.comAdventureWeekendSale50OffonTwoGre_7FE5\/Sanitarium.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline; border: 0px;\" title=\"Sanitarium\" src=\"http:\/\/cache.techie-buzz.com\/images\/postimg\/GOG.comAdventureWeekendSale50OffonTwoGre_7FE5\/Sanitarium_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Sanitarium\" width=\"171\" height=\"280\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/gamecard\/the_longest_journey\"><em>Sanitarium<\/em><\/a><em>: <\/em>I remember playing a demo of this game when I was a kid (around ten years ago). I remember the opening sequence of the car crash and the <em>insanity<\/em> that the world of <em>Sanitarium<\/em> was. It was both terrifying and interesting at the same time \u2013 when you grapple with amnesia and see the horrors of the madhouse around you. Then you venture out into the town and\u2026 well it is <em>insane<\/em>. There are no other words for it. It\u2019s an <em>amazing<\/em> game. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/gamecard\/sanitarium\">Definitely worth a try<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size:12px\">\n<strong>Share:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/gaming\/gog-com-adventure-weekend-sale-50-off-on-two-great-games.html#commentrespond\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Comment on This Post<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?source=techiebuzz&#038;status=GOG.com%20Adventure%20Weekend%20Sale%20&ndash;%2050%%20Off%20on%20Two%20Great%20Games%20http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FcOJ7ly%20via%20@techiebuzzer\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Tweet This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/gaming\/gog-com-adventure-weekend-sale-50-off-on-two-great-games.html\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Share on Facebook<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/post?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/gaming\/gog-com-adventure-weekend-sale-50-off-on-two-great-games.html&#038;title=GOG.com%20Adventure%20Weekend%20Sale%20&ndash;%2050%%20Off%20on%20Two%20Great%20Games\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Save to Delicious<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.stumbleupon.com\/submit?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/gaming\/gog-com-adventure-weekend-sale-50-off-on-two-great-games.html\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Stumble This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/submit?phase=2&#038;url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/gaming\/gog-com-adventure-weekend-sale-50-off-on-two-great-games.html&#038;title=GOG.com%20Adventure%20Weekend%20Sale%20&ndash;%2050%%20Off%20on%20Two%20Great%20Games\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Digg This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/submit?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/gaming\/gog-com-adventure-weekend-sale-50-off-on-two-great-games.html&#038;title=GOG.com%20Adventure%20Weekend%20Sale%20&ndash;%2050%%20Off%20on%20Two%20Great%20Games\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Reddit This<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><strong style=\"font-size:11px;\">TAGS:<\/strong> <span style=\"text-transform:uppercase;font-size:11px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/adventure-games\" rel=\"tag\">adventure games<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/deal\" rel=\"tag\">deal<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/discount\" rel=\"tag\">discount<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/gaming\" rel=\"tag\">Gaming<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/gog-com\" rel=\"tag\">gog.com<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/point-and-click\" rel=\"tag\">point and click<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/sanitarium\" rel=\"tag\">sanitarium<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/the-longest-journey\" rel=\"tag\">the longest journey<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<\/small><\/div>\n<div>\n<br \/>\n<font size=\"4\"><strong>Announcement:<\/strong> Missing Mobile News in the Main RSS Feed?
