GOG.com is known for having ridiculous sales on their DRM-free games, but they've also been great about just giving away games. They did it last year with the entire Fallout series, after all. To celebrate Valentine's Day today they're showing their love for you by offering up Dungeon Keeper Gold, absolutely free.
The first Dungeon Keeper hit in 1997 with the tagline "Evil is Good" and then proceeded to show exactly why that was. You played the titular character who was tasked with protecting their dungeon from heros who were trying to kill your poor little monsters and steal all your ill-gotten wealth. You have to create traps and monsters and kill off all the do-gooders. It's still one of Peter Molyneux's best titles and this version, Dungeon Keeper Gold, comes with the Deeper Dungeons expansion. If you already own it on the site you can get a gift code to give to a friend and share the love.
This could be considered a smart bit of publicity on EA's part, of course. Their recent mobile Dungeon Keeper release has been in the news a bit lately but for all the wrong reasons. The iOS game was hoped to be a resurgence of the classic game but ended up being a pretty blatant Clash of Clans ripoff, a FTP game that "encourages" you to use premium currency. It's got a lot of what makes the series so special but it's hidden behind countless timers which only allows you to play a few minutes at a time, making you wait a few hours to a day to do something else. I'm not sure that people will want to go back to their phone versions after trying this, the real deal.
If you like Dungeon Keeper Gold, the (even superior!) sequel is on sale right now for a mere $1.49. They've also got big sales on D&D Games, classics like the Baldur's Gate series, Planescape: Torment and Neverwinter Nights, and you save more the more you buy. The same goes for their multiplayer sale, which offers up such incredible games as System Shock 2, Alpha Centauri and Trine.
So head on over to the site within the next two days to claim your free copy of Dungeon Keeper Gold and see what else they have to offer.
