Earlier this month GoG.com re-released the original Blood game and added it to its line-up of DRM-free titles. Today the PC game download site has added the 1998 sequel Blood II to its library. The game, developed once again by Monolith, was one of the first to use its own LithTech engine which was later used in Monolith's future titles as well as a number of third party games.

The game, which includes the Nightmare Pack expansion pack, sell for $5.99 at GoG.com. We are just hoping that the site brings Monolith's other big 1998 game, the terrific shooter Shogo, to its line-up at some point.

The DRM-free web site GoG.com has added another classic game to its library of titles. The latest entry is One Unit Whole Blood, a collection of the 1997 first person shooter Blood with its expansion packs Plasma Pak and Cryptic Passage. The game was originally under development by 3D Realms but then the game was passed onto Monolith Productions in what became their first game. The developer later on went to make acclaimed PC titles like No One Lives Forever and F.E.A.R.

If you want some entertaining, funny, gory and even scary fun, the Blood collection might be right up your alley. You can get the game now at GoG.com for just $5.99.

There are lots of PC games out there that are getting revived lately. We have seen the Fallout franchise get back on track with Bethesda Softworks' Fallout 3, The C&C: Red Alert RTS series got a new lease on life with Red Alert 3. Yet there are many other classic PC game franchises that are well known that perhaps could also get a second chance for the public.

Big Download has picked 10 such games that we think would be perfect for a publisher interested in introducing these franchises to a whole new audience. Of course, a lot will depend on which development team will handle these games but with a little bit of love, these titles are all prime candidates for a new coat of paint.
