Impulse Adds Bethesda Back Catalog, Will Not Include Future Steamworks Releases

by Brian Leahy, Jul 27, 2010 11:20am PDT

Stardock has added some Bethesda back catalog games to its digital storefront, offering gamers a chance to buy Oblivion, Morrowind, Fallout 3, and Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. Many of the titles are available in "Game of the Year" or deluxe versions that include expansion packs or DLC.

Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Bethesda Games on Impulse

Fallout 3 - $29.99
Fallout 3 GotY Edition - $49.99 - Includes all five DLC packs
Oblivion GotY Edition - $19.99 - Includes Knights of the Nine and the Shivering Isles expansion
Oblivion GotY Edition Deluxe - $24.99 - Includes all DLC and the Shivering Isles expansion
Morrowind GotY Edition - $19.99 - Includes both expansions
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth - $19.99

Fallout: New Vegas will not be sold through Impulse as it uses Valve's Steamworks for DRM as Stardock's policy to not sell Steamworks titles, despite the growing frequency of it as DRM for high-profile PC games, has not changed.

      Does Uplay have a built in store to buy other games and stuff outside of content for the game you are playing? Uplay is a content reward system as far as I know (I honestly have not used it, the last Ubisoft game I have here is AC2 on the 360), and in no way does that trump or tries to replace the achievement/trophy systems of the 360 or PS3.
