  • Why do you want this game on GOG?
The game that upgraded the original with a better campaign, more scenarios to explore, more enemies to kill, a better multiplayer, more maps, fully offline bots controlled by AI support to play with them if you don't have internet, friends, etc. Horde mode was a nice addition, altough it can last more than 2 hours and being tedious, it was still fun.
Microsoft seems insistent on only refreshing the the first game for modern systems. If Gears 2 and 3 are to ever be on PC, I think a licensing deal will need to be arranged between GOG and Xbox Game Studios in order for the other two games to be ported.

Bayonetta
BayonettaA member of an ancient witch clan and possessing powers beyond the comprehension of mere mortals, Bayonetta faces-off against countless angelic enemies, many reaching epic proportions, in a game of 100% pure, unadulterated all-out action. Outlandish finishing moves are performed with balletic grace as Bayonetta flows from one fight to another. With magnificent over-the-top action taking place in stages that are a veritable theme park of exciting attractions, Bayonetta pushes the limits of the action genre, bringing to life its fast-paced, dynamic climax combat.

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
Resident Evil 4: Wii EditionResident Evil 4: Wii Edition features the bonus content from the PS2 version and has many alterations compared to previous ports, taking Wiimote aiming into account: the shooting mechanism uses a much larger reticule that turns from green to red when an enemy is targeted as opposed to a very narrow laser sight, a "quick knife" command is added that auto-targets the nearest enemy or object, and motion sensitive quick time event prompts are included as well as button presses. Visually the game is on par with the original GameCube version, as opposed to the somewhat inferior graphics of the PlayStation 2 version, although in very few instances the inferior PS2 graphics are mistakenly retained, such as herbs having lower detail models in some places. The P.R.L. 412 was significantly upgraded and now shoots several beams instead of just one. The Wii version also supports the Wii's Classic Controller, which reverts aiming and the laser sight back to the original format. The only other noticeable differences are that the game seems significantly easier, and that all of Leon's actions appear to move slightly faster.
