GameTap Claims Uru, Sam and Max

ThPhox writes "Uru has returned. Uru was originally released three years ago, but was canceled while still in beta testing due to a lack of funding. Shortly after it was canceled, Cyanworlds released a patch for the single player game called Until Uru, which allowed players to play for a small fee, without any new content, on player run servers. Originally supported by Ubisoft, the new Uru Live is supported by Turner Broadcasting's Gametap service." Next Generation has the related news that GameTap will be offering the episodic Sam and Max titles from TellTale Games, when those are released.

Re:Gametap eh?

I"m using it. THe service itself is fine and I've had no technical problems with the service or any of the games I've played on it. The problem, however, is that the selection of games is very console centric with tons of older games I've never heard of. For some, that may be interesting, but I'm not much of a console fan and if I've never heard of random side scroller #481, I'm not likely to want to play it. While there are some recent computer games on it(I played Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and there is Splinter Cell), there are odd lapses such as not one FPS game. If they can get more companies to sign on, it will be a fine service.
As for this original (non-game) content they talk about in the commercials, don't bother. It is mostly pretty lame and mainly just something they use to play while you wait for the game to download.
