Arx Fatalis $1 off until Sunday
Most GOG.COM customers already know this, but Arx Fatalis is the "Hidden Gem of the Week," receiving a $1 discount from it's already-trivial $5.99 price tag, until Sunday the 11th at 11:59 PM eastern time.
Inspired by the legendary Ultima Underworld series, Arx Fatalis is a first-person perspective action-RPG that was lamentably overlooked in a year that saw the release of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. But it's got that survival-RPG, all-underground-all-the-time vibe going for it, and the spellcasting interface was novel.
The overall interface takes a bit of getting used to. And it is in no way an easy game. I'm nowhere close to completing it. But - it's pretty cool. If you have been considering it, this weekend might be a good chance to snag it.

...and now they're having a $6 weekend deal on dungeon crawlers Ishar "0", 1,2,3 bundled together with the weird survival/adventure games Robinson's Requiem and its sequel.
I've mostly heard unfavorable remarks about the Ishar games (which are basically first person/real time Eye of the Beholder clones), but I like the graphic style a lot and don't mind engaging in some frantic EotB click fests once in a while. As for Robinson's Requiem I must say I never heard about it before I saw it on GOG a few months ago but the survival mechanics are supposed to be challenging and complex (no drinking from toilet seats รก la Fallout 3 if you want to stay alive, in other words).
Anyway, $6 for 6 games is pretty good if you ask me...

I picked it up several months ago upon completing Dark Messiah and discovering that this was the predecessor (at least in terms of being the previous game from the same team, but also because apparently the game that became Dark Messiah started out life as an Arx sequel). But I haven't yet had a chance to actually play the thing. My Pile of Shame just keeps growing. It's worrying me.
