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 use Gametap and it's a great service. For the most part the interface is clean and straightforward. The service works like this: You decide what game you want to play. Once you decide, it begins downloading the game and runs the game straight off your computer. From then on you just have to log into Gametap to play. They are updating the list constantly(just about weekly) and they have a lot of interesting titles that I wouldn't buy but do play this way.
