GOG.com, one of the most famous digital retailers for PC games, is running one of its weekend sales with games up to 75% off. What makes it different this time, is that the 30 games on sale have been handpicked by TotalBiscuit. Love him or hate him, the Cynical Brit is one of the most popular videogame critics out there and he choose 30 of his favourites titles to put up on sale for the weekend ( even if one would have expected 60 from Mr. Bain  ).

Here's him explaining his choices:

Quick Take

Personal tastes aside, it's hard to complain about TotalBiscuit's picks. In a way or another, the games he choose are a wonderful specimen of their genre.

As a personal addendum, I wholeheartedly reccommend you pick up The Longest Journey (which is not Dreamfall 1 -frowns at TB-), Psychonauts, Duke Nukem 3D, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat and Mount and Blade: Warband. The other games are wonderful too ( I heard 4X enthusiasts call Age of Wonders 3 one of the best instances of turn based strategy ), but the ones I mentioned are the ones I would reccommend to anyone is only tangentially interested in that kind of genre ( based on my personal tastes of course ).
