GameTap and Codemasters Align For Free Games

Joystiq reports that publisher Codemasters has announced an alliance with the GameTap service that raises the profile of the all-you-can-eat gaming buffet considerably. The service will offer titles like DIRT and Overlord for-purchase download, of course, but the real news is that current and future Codemasters titles will be available directly via the service. That is, if you have a subscription these games are free. "Beyond the games mentioned, potential superstar title Clive Barker's Jericho and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty will be part of that future day and date deal. All these titles will also be available to purchase through GameTap's digital store, but seriously, the cost of one game will get you four months of GameTap service. We continue to be impressed with GameTap's expanding services and ridiculously affordable price, not to mention their free ad-driven gaming space."

I'm certainly all for keeping piles of gaming crap at a minimum! But I have not used GameTap yet, ironically in my efforts to get away from PC gaming in favor of consoles, the retro games on Xbox Live have given me a taste for some of the games now being offered on GameTap. I'm still on the fence, but I think GameTap may actually have some legs to it.
