This is kind of strange case - this is a game I saw on store shelf when my parents were buying me a PC desk and some child-age game when I was five - and Soul Reaver was a game I wanted to get instead. I knew about series cause my father often played demo of first Legacy of Kain: Blod Omen, but I never got to play this exact game. Now, when it is delisted everywhere, as I am finally playing thru whole series (thanks to GOG for having Blood Omen) I wish I would be able to experience this game for first time.

This game was my entry to the series and love at first sight. The unforgettable intro, the dark settings, the music, and especially the voice acting and dialogues... Yeah, I was completely in love. I played it on PlayStation when it came out, and I remember that summer vividly, and a couple of years later on PC thanks to a magazine which included it for very little. I still have both my PS1 and PC copies from back then, along with the GOG version which is alas currently no longer for sale. Although I'm glad there is a remaster to buy I still think that the original is worth both selling on GOG and buying, and I hope it'll be back (in the library there is still a "soon" tag. I hope it means something) for everyone to enjoy and keep. Besides, it's the only title missing from the series now that Blood Omen is available (great, great job GOG), so again I hope it'll come back to its rightful place among the Good Old Games.

This game take a soft spot in my heart and so good memory of playing with mi little near me. A good sequel of Legacy of Kain that make you in love with all the rich lore.
What can I say, this game is a certified classic and the only way to play it legitimately is to either buy the stinky remaster that turns everything into AI re-textured butter or buy a Playstation 1 and hunt down the original game on PSX.

We really need the original SR1 back on GOG! This game is the backbone of the whole series and the jewel of the PS1 era gaming. Unforgettable narrative, writing and voice-line delivery. While it is good to have SR1 remastered, the legacy edition is still something I'm longing for. True nostalgia bomb.

I understand that we have the remastered version of Soul Reaver 1+2, but delisting it is an absolute crime! Like why? If that is bothering Aspyr and Saber Russia so much, they could've just provided the original game for FREE! Just get this game back, Aspyr and put it for FREE. No need for a removal!

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle
Sonic Adventure 2: BattleSonic and company are back and better than ever in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle for Nintendo GameCube. Dr. Eggman is up to his old tricks, and it's up to Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles to stop him yet again. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle features faster action, all-new two-player games, and a branching storyline that lets you choose to save the world as the Hero side, or conquer it as the Dark side. Two new playable characters enter the Sonic universe -- a mysterious dark hedgehog called Shadow, and a jewel-thieving bat named Rouge. In the single-player mode, you'll go through more than 30 unique stages, which include everything from a forgotten pyramid, an abandoned military base, and a giant space station. Then there's the expanded two-player mode, which features 12 playable characters competing in new head-to-head games. All of this adds up to Sonic's biggest adventure yet!

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.

Gex: Enter the Gecko
Gex: Enter the Gecko"Is it just me, or am I engulfed in flames?" is one of the many one-liners uttered by Gex, a wise cracking gecko who should check himself into television rehab; he's addicted to it. After saving the Television Realm from the evil Rez in his first adventure, the gecko was ready to kick back, relax, and watch a little television. Little did he know his adventure was just beginning. One day, two secret agent goons showed up at Gex's doorstep. They inform him that Rez is back and looking for vengeance; the evil monster is planning to destroy the Television Realm once more...and possibly the world. When Gex tells them that he's retired and doesn't care, one of the goons hits the gecko on the head and takes him to a secluded place. When Gex comes to, the mystery men plead with the gecko to take the cash and help destroy Rez for good...or at least make him disappear. With that incentive (the cash), the wise cracking lizard slips into his special agent suit and plunges headfirst into the Television Realm. Watch out, Rez -- Gex is back!

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
