The DRM-free classic PC game site GoG.com has launched its regular weekly sales event today. This time they have put three of the game they have acquired from developer Cyan Worlds on the temporary price chopping block. Myst Masterpiece Edition, Riven: The Sequel to Myst and the children's game The Manhole Masterpiece Edition are all on sale for 25 percent off their normal GoG.com priced until the end of the day on Monday.

However there's also something very interesting on the GoG.com site today; a countdown clock. The timer is clicking down to a date that seems to end at 6 am ET on Thursday. The clock's only clue is "Expect the unexcelled." Hmmmmm.

Several months ago, GoG.com became the only place where you could (legally) purchase and download the classic Tex Murphy adventure games from Access Software. Today GoG.com is offering a great early Christmas present as it gives away the first two games in the series (Mean Streets and Martians Memorandum) for free. The offer ends on Christmas Eve (December 24 for those who might not know). And for those of you who have already bought the games from GoG.com, don't fret; they have a secret alternate offer just for you.

In related news, GoG.com has added Riven: The Sequel to Myst, to their library of games. You can purchase and download the Cyan Worlds-developed adventure game for $5.99
