GOG.com has launched its Big Fall Sale which discounts over 700 games until November 25.

Fallout and Fallout 2> are widely regarded as two of the finest RPGs around, which is probably because they're great. If you haven't played them, or fancy returning once again, you can now snag both for free at GOG, as the digital distributor has kicked off its winter sale by offering them as presents. Fallout Tactics is free too, even if it is remembered less fondly.

As delightful as digital distribution is, you're less likely to get your money back if a game's wonky than you would be with a physical disc. That old DRM-free rogue GOG has upped its customer-friendly practices with a new money-back guarantee, letting customers get a refund within 30 days of buying a game if they can't get it to run properly.

It was delightful enough that GOG managed to drag some of the beloved Bullfrog's classic games out of mothballs and make them available again, but now it's dug up expansion packs too. And GOG being the happy friendly folks that they are, they've added them for free. The good news, in short: Dungeon Keeper and Syndicate are now even better.

Don your trenchcoat and strap on your cyberleg, as finally both of Bullfrog's classic Syndicate games are on virtual shelves. The original Syndicate returned via GOG after years in the aether last January, shortly before the release of Starbreeze's Syndicate FPS reboot, and its sequel Syndicate Wars joined the party yesterday.

Why do you like Leisure Suit Larry? I understand why you did, back in the day, but why do you continue to like it? Why did you buy enough of them for too many sequels to be made, let alone a spin-off starring Larry's nephew and a sequel to that, why have you backed a Kickstarter for a remake of the first game, and then voted to get that on Steam? And why are you excited that GOG today re-released a bundle of vintage Larry games? You, yes you, you personally, you.

Ooh, pay-what-you-want games bundles are all the rage nowadays. In fact, they're so popular that they're surely becoming a bit cool by now. Mark my words, 2013 will be the year of make-it-your-damn-self games. For now, though, GOG is getting in on the bundle fun with a pay-what-you-want sale on the Divinity series.

In its mostly successful ongoing mission re-release forgotten classics, GOG has unearthed a highly destructive find. Nival's Silent Storm Gold is available now, letting you wreck and ruin destructible environments across World War II in turn-based tactical tomfoolery.
