Today is the first day of the classic Advent calendar as people count down the days until December 25. We heard on that day folks give and receive some kind of gifts but that's just a rumor (hehe). Anyway, the upcoming fantasy RPG sequel Two Worlds 2 II has posted up their own version of an Advent calendar on the game's official web site where apparently Christmas is celebrated with a creepy goth-like lady with long legs.

Naturally this is no ordinary calendar. The game's developers at Reality Pump Studios have put in questions to answer about the game every day. Answer the question correctly and you will be entered into a daily drawing for prizes. Answer every question every day and you will be entered into the grand prize drawing where a gaming PC can be yours if you win. Seems fun and educational.

Topware Interactive sent over a note announcing that they will be the US publisher for Scivelation, an upcoming Unreal Engine III-based third person shooter. Due out for the PC and other platforms in mid-2010, the game is being developed by Ukraine-based Black Wing Foundation.

So what's the game about, besides having a rather odd title? The game is set in a distant future where a oppressive government known as the Regime is in charge. Your character is leading the resistance against this group and . . . hey, haven't we played this kind of game before? Geeze. Well if Scivelation has a "unrelenting interactive experience" as the press release states, we may forgive it for its generic storyline.

GoG.com has good timing for its latest sale promotion. With all the Fallout announcements this week, the DRM-free game download site has announced it will offer Fallout 1 and Fallout 2, along with Fallout Tactics, for 20 percent off their already low prices in a special bundle for $14.367. The deal ends on Monday.

The bundle also has a lot of free extras, including the original developer's bible for the game, three MP3 sountracks, wallpapers, manuals and lots more. There's also a look back at the original game's development with new quotes from its developers.

GoG has also revealed the latest game to join their club. It's Jagged Alliance 2: Wildfire, the turn-based tactical strategy game from publisher TopWare Interactive. If you have never given the Jagged Alliance series a go this is actually a good place to start. The 2004 released title has you controlling your group of mercenaries as they go after a fictional drug cartel. In other words, it's lock and load time. The game is available from GoG.com for $5.99 and also comes with some free bonus wallpapers and avatars.

It's yet another publisher announcement for DRM-free PC game download site GoG.com. Today the site, run by CD Projekt, announced that they will be adding titles from publisher Topware Interactive. The first such game to be made available under the new deal is the sci-fi RTS game collection Earth 2140 Trilogy.

This new collection has the original 1997 game and its two mission packs and it's available right now from GoG.com for just $5.99. It includes a free soundtrack and a walk-through. Also added from TopWare is the adventure game Jack Orlando: A Cinematic Adventure. You can download the Director's Cut version of the game from GoG.com for $5.99.
