TBS' games-on-demand services launches with more than 300 games and video content; 24 publishers now on board, including EA and Capcom.

After weeks of unrelenting hype, GameTap finally launched today. Bankrolled by Turner Broadcasting System (aka TBS), the self-styled "first-of-its-kind broadband entertainment network" now offers a range of games for download via its Web site, www.gametap.com. Customers are charged a flat rate of $14.95 per month for the service, which allows access to up to two computers per household. To turn the public on to the system, GameTap is offering a free two-week trial to new subscribers.

The service's Web site lists 299 available games from 24 different publishers. The two-dozen companies include Electronic Arts and Capcom, who were among seven publishers announcing their support today. GameTap's library includes many arcade games, like Centipede, and a few more-modern ones, like Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow. The library also includes ports of classic games for discontinued consoles, including the Sega Dreamcast, Sega Genesis, Atari 2600, and Intellivision.

Hmm... $15/month to rent 10-year-old games or $0 to download ROMs that I can play anytime I want?

Decisions, decisions.
