As part of this month’s epic release of new Ubisoft titles, we have been running contests with equally epic prizes for our awesome GOG community to win. This great expedition for the lost treasures of Ubisoft continues, now. Thanks to those who participated in the first quest, we've retrieved two great classics and gathered even more adventurers who are willing to sacrifice themselves and join the ranks of GOG Heroes. Now you have to choose whether you're a brave and strong fighter or a wise and spell casting wizard. It's time to choose your class, adventurer!

Are you good with your sword fighting? Are you brave enough to stand face to face with a dragon? If so, you're a true fighter. To prove this print out the GOG logo, hit the streets and make a photo of yourself with the GOG logo in some cool or crazy place. Share the photo with us, either by sending it via email to users@gog.com or sharing a link to a gallery. You have until Sunday, March 20 at 11:59 p.m. EDT to complete this quest. Every fighter to complete this quest will receive an official GOG sticker, suitable for sticking to anything that you want stuck.

If you're more into studying old books and inventing new spells, you were definitely born as a wizard. But before you'll receive your magic wand and a hat there's one thing you have to do. Prove your wisdom about old games and write a review on one of the games available in GOG's catalogue. Post a link to the newly added review in the comments section. Every wizard to complete this quest will receive an exclusive GOG wallpaper.

But that's not all! From all the fighters and all the wizards who will complete their quests we will pick 10 heroes from each class and award them with free game codes. And of course if you already reached level 80 and you are now a dual-class hero you can participate in both quests.

Try my hand at a wizard. Might do soldier later. :3

Look for the one entitled: 'A decent transfer from Pen & Paper. Great with friends who roleplay.'

Review for Two Worlds submitted, waiting for GoG to publish

---
Allow me to open with announcement that Two Worlds is an open world action RPG similar to the N64 Zeldas and PC Gothic games.

That was enough to sell it for me but here's some additional input attempting not to cover the same concepts reviewed a thousand times already.

First and foremost the horse riding in this game isn't as terrible as it first seems. Horse riding is more simulation than arcade (like the rest of Two World's game play) so when your horse veers off in a distance you didn't want him to it is because you're getting too close to another live animal or your attempting to take it up or down too steep of a cliff. Horse riding also becomes a lot more manageable as the game progresses if you distributed points towards the horse riding skill.

With this out of the way, most other reviewer's complaints were directed at the XBox version.

This is one of the smoothest running and best looking titles on my PC which is hosts an 8-year-old AMD 2400+, one gig of RAM and an 7300 GT GeoForce card.

There isn't much more I can say that hasn't been said by everyone else but if you've enjoyed the Gothic and Risen series, this is a much less clunkier, faster-paced and better looking offspring.

Picture coming up next which will be quite brave, bold and.....incriminating if it falls into the wrong hands. Just need to get my 'keeping up apparences' partner to agree to take it.

Looking through the catalogue, I remembered the good times I've had in the past with said game.

Most unfortunately my camera fails to support Windows 7, so I fear I won't be able to go with the fighter mission *sighs*

I'll go wizard in this case: http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/realms_of_arkania_1_2#reviews=5

Heh, I wrote several reviews few days ago not realizing I have to announce it here as well... nevermind, here we go...

I hereby pronounce myself wizard and I plan to write review to every game from catalogue that I've played and finished... (and maybe I'll post warrior picture as well, if the rain stops... pity I didn't use that burning tree to make cool/crazy picture... but I was too busy with firefighting)

You could get a reader for the memory card and pull the files directly, neatly dodging any compatibility issues. Most card readers are very inexpensive (check Newegg or your local electronics store).
