Good Old Games To Relaunch Tomorrow, With New Site And Baldur's Gate

“There were really a lot of hints,” said Good Old Games, the digital download site which unceremoniously ’closed’ at the weekend. “You were expecting it, and we now confirm it: we are back with a brand new website.” So there you go. It launches at 1PM UK time tomorrow. Whoop-de-do.

In a bizarre press conference this evening, Good Old Games’ management appeared dressed as monks. Surprise, surprise: a pack of Baldur’s Gate and its expansion, including several additional goodies, is to be included in the service too, as rumoured yesterday. It’ll cost $9.99. It was officially announced as “the big surprise” at the end of the press conference, despite having been clearly present in the demonstration of the games library right at the start.

Kinda cool I guess. Seems they just allowed the camera to zoom in right on top of the characters head and then able to control movement like a fps. Makes me wonder what the game would be like if I didn't ever zoom way out and scroll over the environment to check out for enemies nearby almost constantly.
