You beat me to it :). I got Gog newsletter today too and see they have 
Unwritten tales. It would be a good time to get it. the price is right. I 
got it from Gog when it was on a weekend promo before for similar same 
price. I thought it was just an OK game, but many people liked it a lot. 
Dreamfall is on special price also this weekend for $5.99. I liked it a lot, 
better than The Longest Journey though it was a good game too. Another cute 
little game is Inherit the Earth for $2.39. They had a few other older 
games -7th Guest and 11th Hour which are good if you want to replay them, 
like I sometimes do.
