Yes they work 100% even on bluetooth without the cable attached.

I googled it and it turns out that it's not as nice as the Microsoft 360 Controller driver. I'll stick to the 360 controller for now.

why not? you have full controller support....

PS3 controllers feel flimsy to me compared to the 360 ones.

Dude, you were comparing drivers and I asked you what the difference you spoke about was. What has the weight of the controller to do with the driver?

I'll reformulate the question: What difference have you found between the 360 driver and the PS3 driver ?

Just downloaded Arcanum and have played it for 6 or 8 hours. It has really been a slog so far. It's too bad because I've wanted to try the game since I saw an ad for it in PC Gamer in like 1999. Steampunk + magic should be an exciting setting, but wow the game is tedious. Half of my time so far has been spent running back and forth across overlarge maps. BG2 had this problem to a certain extent, but at least in that game I could scroll to wherever I wanted on the map and click there to get the party moving. Apparently the pathfinding in Arcanum is too dumb to even attempt that so when you pull up the map you have to have to click out waypoints at arbitrarily short intervals even when you're walking across a straight (and unnecessarily long) bridge. It makes me wonder if the guys who designed the levels and the guys who designed the interface hated each other. Add to this some really, really drab art direction and you get a game that's hard to recommend.

I basically just glanced at the info online. The developer for the PS3 controller driver is "wraggster". The 360 driver is released directly from Microsoft. Not that I don't distrust wraggster, but if the 360 driver is official, and it's more comfortably weight/sturdiness wise, then I'll just stick to the 360.

Ok, that makes more sense. Thanks.

if gog.com gets lucasarts game im gonna cream my pants

Star Wars: Rebellion was a badass game. Probably horrible by today's standards, but I remember wasting a lot of time with that game.

Okay I picked up Total Annihilation. Couldn't resist. Downloaded some recorded games and loved watching them again. They're like regular movies with all the boring parts taken out.

Checked out the forums at TAUniverse, too. They talk about the game changing, which I find hard to imagine. Even the "vanilla" unmodded game.

Real surprised to find a lot of the recorded games were on the same few maps.

Fun fact: the guy from "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance"'s first role seems to have been in Phantasmagoria. He plays the big fat dumb groundskeeper of the mansion that you live in.

Atari have just signed up with GOG, Master of Magic and MOO are confirmed.

Ah, I always heard Master of Magic was great. I seem to remember hearing that the graphics are exceptionally bad by today's standards even for an old game. They're making a new one, by the way. It sounded really cool when I heard about it last year.

And of course Master of Orion is one of the most well-remembered games ever.

Not on GOG, but since this is becoming a thread to talk about other cheap oldies but goldies, the complete X-COM collection is on sale this weekend at Impulse for ten bucks.

Buncha good games on sale for 30 to 50% off at GOG now. Like Fallout is 2.99. Can't beat that, really. HOMM3 complete is 7 bucks, Disciples 2 Gold is 5 bucks.

This is a fantastic site. I've always wanted to try Fallout & HOMM, so I got them both on sale

I'm reading through the Fallout manual now, which reminded me how awesome game manuals used to be. It's 125 pages, and actually interesting

I notice they have Betrayal at Krondor, which I played endlessly in high school. I'm not willing to pay for it, because I finished it a couple times, but I wonder how well it holds up.

I thought Betrayal at Krondor had been released as freeware many years ago, don't know if you can still find it as such.

One of the nice things about GOG is that they adapt the old games to play on the latest operating systems. Old games that used to play in Windows 95, 98, etc., now play fine on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. I've played a bunch of GOG games on my Vista 64-bit OS with no problems, and without having to find all the old patches, or fiddle with DOSBox or other similar programs to make them work. When GOG gives it to you, it's done.

There will always be someone who has a problem with a particular game on a particular machine, but that doesn't seem to be any more common than it is with modern games, or with those games when they first came out for their native OS systems.

I notice Beyond Good & Evil is part of their sale, I played that back on Xbox and thought it was very good, highly recommend for any GOGers.

Considering HOMM3 and Myst... Myst: Masterpiece ed. is $2.99 and I've been wanting to replay it and Riven forever.

HOMM3 turned out to be very worth it. I'll probably be playing it on and off forever. And it consumed me the first couple months after I got it.

Myst had pretty awesome graphics when it came out. Not exactly cutting edge now... I'm pretty sure I watched a video of it like 5 years ago and wanted to claw my eyes out at how grainy and choppy it looked.

RPG promo on right now until April 12, bunch of RPG's on sale including Sacred Gold. Some of these look pretty cool actually.

MOO 1+2 on GOG for 5.99.

GO GO GO GO.
