"Essentially, GOG.com is just a website. You go to GOG.com, we'll have the latest games listed up top, reader reviews. We'll have a news section dedicated to retro gaming, or classic PC games.

The focus will be on the games catalog, online. So you go to GOG.com, either search for your game or start browsing, we've got a pretty deep browse feature for different categories.

The games are gonna be priced at either $5.99 [emphasis mine] or $9.99. You buy it, pay for it, download it and install it. You can go back and re-download it any time you want."

GOG is set to have Fallout, Fallout 2, MDK 1 and 2, Giants: Citizen Kabuto, Freespace 1 and 2, Sacrifice, Descent 1-3, and Kingpin: Life of Crime available for download when it goes live in September. While the team behind GOG does not have access to the source code for all of these games, each of them will have their own updated installer to ensure compatibility with both Windows XP and Vista.

CD Projekt has stated that it has hopes to expand GOG to include the El Dorado that is the LucasArts game library. With any luck, classics such as Grim Fandango and Monkey Island will be available to a new generation of gamers. Doubtless the Mojo Collective will be pleased by this news (they embrace groupthink over there -- it avoids arguments).
