GoG.com has put the previous two games in the Empire Earth RTS series in its library and today the DRM-free web site has announced that that they have added Empire Earth III to its game line-up. The game was first released in 2007 by developer Mad Doc Software (now Rockstar New England) and publisher Vivendi Games. As we have reported before the Empire Earth franchise is now owned by Rebellion who have announced tentative plans for more games in the series.

Empire Earth III is now available to download from GoG.com for $9.99. Also, GoG.com has announced a permanent price cut on another game, Beyond Divinity, to just $5.99.

Looks like Direct2Drive is keeping things interesting this weekend.

From now until 1 pm Eastern Time Saturday you can get the bundle for just $19.95. That's a whopping $30 off the bundle's normal price.

But that's not all. Direct2Drive has a couple of older games on sale as well, including Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines for just $9.95 for one day only and the RTS title Empire Earth III for a mere $4.95.

GamersGate, Vivendi make big digital distribution deal

by Samuel Axon Jun 30th 2008 @ 6:30PM

Paradox Interactive's GamersGate is the underdog of the digital distribution market. It's not as prominent as Valve's Steam or IGN's Direct2Drive, but there are some gems hidden in its library, especially since Capcom and Playlogic signed up. Thanks to a big new deal with Vivendi, the number of gems is increasing even more.

According to a press release, the service will now offer several titles from Sierra Entertainment (which is owned by Vivendi), including Ceasar IV, World in Conflict, and the Empire Earth series. The press release includes all the ritual quotes from bigwigs at all the involved companies saying in carefully calculated terms how excited they are about the new deal. But you don't need to know all that to get your game on, do you?
