I've spent hours playing this game with my best friend, we finished most of the game together and had tonnes of fun. We paid full price for the crew 2 when it first came out but we tried it and it just wasn't the same, sure it was newer with more features but it didn't have the same feel to it. Was disappointed when I heard that Ubisoft was closing down the servers and therefore shutting the entire game down... it seems silly to me that they didn't even give anyone a chance to run community-run servers or play a single player version of the game, which seems like it wouldn't have been difficult to add in. Alas, once again we have seen another game chucked in the trash far before it passed it's prime and with a still healthy player base without care or some effort to acknowledge a demand for a game that isn't even that old.... It's almost as if they truly believe The Crew 2 is the same game... they can't possibly expect us to believe that. The first game has far more soul, at least to me. We paid good money for a game that has now been taken from us. I'm really relieved that GOG has committed to giving us our games forever... not just a license until some large company decides to take it away without community input for the games future at all. Thank you GOG for working hard to taking care of games that most companies have long thrown in a dark closet somewhere or the trash. This isn't fast fashion, these are games that groups of people spent years creating. Maybe GOG can bring this game back to us players once again and potentially give us the option to have a local or community server that allows us to connect to one or two friends or something. Many games have that, even after their official servers were shut down. I really miss playing this game with my friend or even playing solo. It was quite a unique game and I loved speeding down the motorway with my friend, while I knocked away those plastic yellow trash bin like thingies... lots of fun :)
Why The Crew Deserves to Be on GOG and Why It’s the Best in the Series
The Crew (2014) is not only the foundation of Ubisoft's open-world racing franchise—it’s also the most ambitious and unique entry in the series, making it a prime candidate for preservation on GOG. What set The Crew apart from the start was its massive recreation of the United States, allowing players to drive coast-to-coast through a condensed but impressively detailed map featuring iconic cities, rural towns, mountains, forests, and deserts. Few racing games have ever dared to offer that kind of scale.
What makes The Crew the best in the series isn’t just the size of the world—it’s the sheer variety of experiences it delivers. From off-road adventures to highway chases and urban street racing, the game encourages exploration and rewards it with new challenges, hidden collectibles, and vehicle customization options. The seamless integration of multiplayer and single-player elements added a layer of depth that gave players freedom while still offering a strong, story-driven campaign.
Its RPG-lite mechanics—like car leveling and performance tuning—added an addictive layer of progression. While later entries in the series refined the formula, many fans still consider the first Crew the most raw, focused, and creatively daring.
Releasing The Crew on GOG would preserve a unique piece of racing game history, DRM-free, allowing fans to relive (or discover) its massive world and innovative gameplay without modern service limitations. It's a racing game that went beyond the track—it delivered an American road trip like no other

James Bond Jr.This adaptation of the animated TV series differs significantly from its NES namesake. The nephew of Agent 007 must foil the plans of malevolent S.C.U.M. agents, who are hunting for rare artifacts that would allow them to dominate the world. Unlike the NES game, this version is a more action-oriented side-scrolling game without detailed mission objectives or puzzle-solving.
The game consists of three levels, each beginning with a section in which Bond pilots a helicopter, a boat, and a jet, respectively. These are controlled in arcade-like fashion, similarly to side-scrolling shooters. Enemies must be dealt with using weapons mounted on the craft. Various hazards are scattered through the stages, requiring the player to react quickly in order to stay alive.Action

F1 2012As well as the new young driver test mode, F1 2012 features a new "Champions Mode", in which the six World Champions competing in the 2012 season — Kimi Räikkönen, Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher — will be styled after traditional end-of-level video gaming bosses, with the player challenged to beat them while racing in conditions that suit each driver.
Another new mode introduced, is the "Season Challenge" mode. Feedback given to Codemasters was that players only played the game when they had a few hours to play. In response, Codemasters brought in this mode so that players could simply play for a short amount of time. In this mode the player will start as a team lower down the field, and over a ten race season the player will move teams mid-season, depending on their ability to beat rival drivers and objectives.
Codemasters also introduced "One-Shot Qualifying", whereby a player has a single lap to qualify for the race. The three stage knock out session is still an option, however the single 20 minute session is no longer available in career mode. There is no longer an option to include all three practice sessions in a race weekend, but instead only a single hour session is available.Non-fiction
