GOG Weekend Promo

This weekend's promotion over at GOG.com is "Strategy Supreme" with 29 strategy games on sale (and given GOG's already-low prices, this makes for some insane deals). I'm not going to go into depth about all of them (mainly because I WILL end up buying them all and I can't really afford that this weekend), but I'm going to skim over a few of the games on the list:

Xenonauts

Funded by a KickStarter campaign, developed by London-based indie studio Goldhawk Interactive,  and hailed as the spiritual successor to the X-Com games, Xenonauts has you controlling a multi-national military force defending the world from an alien invasion, all set in the Cold War era. It offers turn-based combat with a variety of different and viable playing styles, a more elaborate research tree than X-Com had, "Persistent Soldiers" who effectively level as you do, and no scripted missions - you play how you want to. While this isn't a perfect game, and is also the most expensive on the list at a whopping £10.89 ($17.49) it's still fun to play and is well worth the investment.

Worms United

An oldie but a goody! As a child in the 90's it seemed like everyone was playing this game - and for a good reason. Yes, playing against the very basic AI sucked, but the real reason any of us played this game was the multiplayer, THIS was the original Call Of Duty "I'm gonna kick your ass you n00b" up-all-night destroy fest. This isn't the only Worms game on sale; GOG also has Worms 2 and the less-than-great Worm Forts: Under Siege in the sale, all £1.19 ($1.79) each.

Blitzkrieg Anthology

Although there are plenty of other awesome games in the sale, I'm gonna choose Blitzkrieg Anthology as my last entry because it's the one I'm most drawn to, simply because it has no base building - this is a true, raw in-the-moment, one wrong click and you're screwed kind of strategy game. As the name would suggest, this is set during World War II, where you'll be able to play through a variety of real and fictional battles, as either the Allies, the Germans or the Soviets. 

At times Blitzkrieg can be frustrating, but overall it's a good game and great for killing a few hours of spare time. It's sequel Blitzkrieg 2 is also in the sale.
