Story:Set in a crazed, alternate future of Hong Kong, Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix is the prequel to the survival-horror hit Fear Effect. You play as one of four deadly mercenaries on a team that's been commissioned to bring back the kidnapped daughter of a powerful Chinese executive. The action begins with Hana, Glas, and Deke the three main characters from the original game meeting each other for the first time. Soon afterward they meet Rain, a close friend of Hana's. Hana, Glas, and Deke are on separate missions to retrieve three objects, but before long they realize that they're involved in the same deadly plot. The action takes the foursome through Hong Kong, Hell's Kitchen in New York City, the walled city of Xi'an, the lost tomb of the first emperor of China, and in the end, to the mountain island of the immortals, Penglai Shan. Then, after lunch, things really get crazy!Show more

We really need to preserve the trilogy or at least these two games, these games have an excellent story and voice acting, I never got the chance to play this on ps1 and managed to get a port.
This was one of my favorites when I was a tennager, it had great graphics, history, characters, challenge, endigs, I remember it was a 4 discs game, Would be great to have these oldies back in a single file.
Na época do bom e velho Ps1 conhecia jogos de survival horror como Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil, Dino Crisis e outros. Mas um jogo, um tanto desconhecido (o que é uma injustiça) foi uma grata surpresa ao encontra-lo por acaso. Um jogo de survival horror com temática Cyberpunk e um visual gráfico incrível para época, merecia muito mais reconhecimento. Sou suspeito em falar pois o genero Cyberpunk é meu preferido em filmes, jogos e séries, e Fear Effect foi um dos melhores jogos que joguei no Ps1. Seria realmente fantástico tê-lo novamente pela loja mais apropriada para isso. Obrigado por essa iniciativa GOG.COM, vocês são incríveis!

Okage: Shadow King
Okage: Shadow KingConquer your demons and you may conquer the world in this distinctly styled role-playing adventure for the PlayStation 2. Some have compared the look of this game to Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas and the fluid, stop-motion appearance of the three-dimensional characters is not completely unlike that seen in seasonal television specials. OKAGE: Shadow King is not a holiday story, however, but a dark tale of polar opposites that questions basic notions of identity and essence. Players take the role of Ari, a young man with a remarkable affliction. A powerful demon -- calling himself "Stan" -- has taken refuge in Ari's shadow and is becoming infused in the boy's life. To free both his demon and himself, Ari embarks on a dangerous and involved quest to rid the world of seven other rival demons. Though he suffers under the burden of playing host to Stan, Ari is also aided from time to time by his demon's powers and the two begin to forge a symbiotic relationship.
