What began as Good Old Games, GOG.com, has relaunched to sell new PC games alongside old.

The relaunched Gog.com.


Therefore, the Good Old Games meaning will fade away. The company will be known instead by the acronym-turned-company-title GOG.com. "It doesn't matter what G, O and G stand for," explained a post on GOG.com. "Gee Oh Gee dot com stands for high-quality, DRM-free gaming, each week with bigger and newer games."


Trine and The Whispered World are examples of 'new' games available right now. Legend of Grimrock is out 11th April. Spacechem, Machinarium and Darwinia are "coming soon". Apparently, more than 20 indie and new games have been signed for release in "the next few months".


The GOG.com website has been redesigned, and the GOG.com downloader improved.


CD Projekt used homemade RPG The Witcher 2 to test GOG.com as a destination for newer PC games. The result? Around 40,000 sales - the best result of anywhere but Steam.

The number of trophies included in PlayStation Network games will remain unchanged despite Microsoft's decision to increase the achievement count in Xbox Live Arcade titles, Sony has confirmed.


As of next month, all Xbox Live Arcade titles will have the option to increase from 200 to 400 Gamerscore points, with the addition of up to 30 achievements. The new 400 point ceiling will be mandatory in all new XBLA games releasing from June this year.


Many games released on both XBLA and PSN have the same unlocks for achievements and trophies - but Sony told IGN it won't change the way it does things.


"There are plenty of downloadable games on PSN that currently offer platinum trophies," an SCEA spokesman said. These include Dead Nation, Rocketbirds and Trine.


The spokesman added that Sony has "a standard and consistent system to determine the trophies available for a particular game. The overall scope of the game determines the trophies available, not method of distribution".
