Gametap, well worth the money

[Modelworks]

If you haven't tried gametap you really should.
They have a ton of games.
Lots of old one, but they are also getting quite a few newer games.
For 9.95 well worth the money. 60.00 for a year.
99 cent to try for first month.

What made me post this is I see people asking about buying games that are included with gametap.

some of the games they have:
Clive Barker?s Jericho?
Tomb Raider®: Anniversary
Overlord?
Hitman: Blood Money
Planescape: Torment
Zeus: Master of Olympus



Just a few I enjoyed.

They are adding Dirt soon .

Its basically install the client, and download the game, then click to play, sort of like steam.
I advise you change the client option to download the full game before playing rather than play while streaming.
Don't like one game switch to another, there is no limit on how many you play each month.

Too lazy to check, but do the PC games still not work from it if you are using Vista64 because their emulation software is a piece of shit that refuses to run on 64bit operating systems?

I paid for a year upfront. They do have some great games, homeworld series, xcom, baldurs gate, planescape etc. Anyway, the one problem is once you go through all the games you like, it takes them quite a long time before they get another one you will probably like (months and months or more). Right now they have nothing I want to play and every Thursday at game release its just a bunch of garbage.

No joy for anyone outside the US or Canada We can play the free games but can't subscribe.

I'm with jandrews, I was snorkeled into paying for the full year and I barely use it now.

It also doesn't work in WinXP 64.

The service itself is pretty nifty, I tried it in XP(32) and only with the Free games, but even for just those it's worth checking out.
