http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2010/01/arcanum.jpg Sierra might have closed down, but the company's legacy lives on, as an agreement with parent company Activision brings classic titles Gabriel Knight and Arcanum to DRM-free PC game store Good Old Games.
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers (http://kotaku.com/tag/gabrielknightsinsofthefathers/) and Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura (http://kotaku.com/tag/arcanumofsteamworksandmagickobscura/) are the first two games available as part of an agreement between Activision Publishing and GOG.com, which will see multiple titles added to the service over the next few weeks. Both titles are available for purchase at $5.99, both coming with bonus artwork to sweeten the deal.
As if the deal needed sweetening. These are two of the best PC games of all time, both excellent examples of their respective genres. Since we won't be seeing a sequel to either of them any time soon, the best we can do is relive the good times.
