Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.4 619
This game must be preserved purely for the gut punches and thoughts it provoke. More relevant than ever.
I already own this game but it would suck to have to pirate it in order to have others enjoy this one
This game is a brutal exploration of morality, war, and delusion. It is an important game that has been endlessly explored and remains as one of gaming's own Apocalypse Now. Put this game back.
Remind me again why, Strauss Zelnick, T2 and the g0ddamn people of 2K Games cannot paid Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple, The Black Angels and those other artist to have remove this game from sale?!
Zelnick is f@#k!ng millionaire! Having earned the money that he gained from suing the modders that tried to recreate and fixes the old GTA games, is just infuriating really.
WTF Strauss??
This is a needed game in modern times. No game has ever shown PTSD better than this.
If the license of the music is an issue... just release it modified by using Public Domain music instead. It works just as well, the message of the game its what is important, not the music it uses.
One of the greatest stories ever told via video games. I have it on GOG, but why it is no longer available is a crime. They will never do stories like this again, and lets be honest, there hasn't been a game story like this since. Get it back on here for future generations to see.
This is an incredibly important anti-miltary story that's is extremely valuable in these times. When white phosphorus is used in the real world, people know how bad it is from this game. It's judgements against the CIA and the American military system are what makes it stand against the propaganda of call of duty or battlefield. It's truly one of a kind.
I bought this game on steam and played it in 2021 and its a really spectacular retelling of the heart of darkness. An exemplary example of what happens when you give artists the freedom to make whatever they want. More people need to play this game. The only problem is you can't buy it. The only way you can play it now is through piracy, and that's a skill that not a lot of people are willing to learn. It would be wonderful if this game came to gog so that people can continue to play this game and recognize it as a not just a good game, but a profound piece of art. This is the only game that scholars point to when making an argument for games being recognized as art just like books or movies. The tricky part about getting this game up on gog would be the licensing which is the whole reason why the game got taken off steam in the first place. This game bleeds money ever since its release, but it is a game that needs to be played for years to come.
One of the best gems that unfortunately got delisted on steam store and we can't buy it anymore.
I didn't buy it back then because I couldn't afford it unfortunately so i hope you can bring it back.
It's wonderful game. with it's great use of core gameplay pushing story forward, and tightly and well written tale of horrors of War, and It's beautiful.
One of my favorite story driven game of all time, alongside with Talos Principle 2.
Greatest story ever told in video game form. I have no horse in this race, I own the previous GoG release. But the People must know!!! about this masterpiece. An amazing adaptation/continuation of Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now. Also, Konrad is the greatest antagonist in video game history and Boxleitner > Brando, believe it or not.
WalkerIt's the most awesome machine of mass destruction ever to stalk your screen. Fitted with the most powerful twin cannons yet developed and a real mean attitude, the Walker has the destructive powers of an H-Bomb and the charisma of a Kalashnikov.
Featuring a unique control system which gives you total control over the movements and attack capabilities of this fearsome war monster, the only thing Walker leaves to the imagination is the smell of battle!Action Science fiction
Eat Lead: The Return of Matt HazardEat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard is a third-person shooter video game for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 video game consoles. The game was developed by Vicious Cycle Software and published by D3 Publisher.
Eat Lead pits players in the role of the title character, a "legendary" gaming hero who is "returning to glory" in a new video game, some 25 years after his debut game and 6 years after his last game. In reality, the Matt Hazard character is in his first video game, with a history made up by D3 Publisher to chronicle the character's rise and fall in popularity. The Return of Matt Hazard marks Hazard's fictitious "comeback" to the gaming scene. Hazard is voiced by Will Arnett, while Neil Patrick Harris voices his nemesis Wallace "Wally" Wellesley.
The game itself is a parody of action-gaming clichés. The October 2008 debut trailer was done as a Behind the Music spoof called Inside the Game complete with Jim Forbes narration. It chronicles Matt Hazard's successes and hardships, and mirrors the progression of the Duke Nukem series of games, from early 8-bit to modern consoles.[1]
The cast of Eat Lead received a nomination in the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards, under the category for "Best Cast"Action Fantasy Historical Comedy

Elite Forces: WWII - Desert RatsWWII: Desert Rats is a World War II-era third-person action game that incorporates driving and shooting elements.
Players control a two-man British Jeep team behind German lines in North Africa. The driver of the Jeep is always the same, though the player has a choice of five different tail gunners, each with their own different attributes. For example, one of them may be better with the bazooka, while another one is best with grenades, etc. However, all gunners are able to use all weapons.
Controls are similar to a first-person shooter. The keyboard moves the Jeep around while the mouse aims the weapon operated by the gunner. This allows the player to drive in one direction while shooting at enemies alongside or even behind the Jeep.Action Historical
