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 definately enjoy it. Its pretty neat being able to play games from pretty much all the consoles. They keep adding to the list of games and now that they are getting current day games it just got better. And yeah you just log in, find a game, download and then play. There are alot of games you can't even get / play on their too. Plus with any of the emulated games you get the benefits of an emulator. You can hit escape and save your state right in the middle and come back later. Or use it as an in game save for the fun of it.
