All right, I guess technically GameTap is a collection of several games (latest count being 710), but they are games I am playing. Right now GameTap has a deal that if you prepay a year it comes to $4.95 a month, or $59.40. Considering how many games they have, and all the Video On Demand content they are offering, I think it’s a pretty good deal. Also, you get a two week free trial to start you off, so you only buy if you like it. There are a lot of fun arcade classics on here like Galaga, Pac-Man, Defender, and Dig-Dug, but to be honest those games are ubiquitous, and get boring quick. Other great games include the original Phantasy Star series, the Myst games, including the upcoming MMO Uru Live, and old school PC adventure games like King’s Quest series, Space Quest series, and the Ultima series. While a lot of the games on GameTap are easy to find by other means, its nice to see all of them combined into a nice easy-to-use interface. And new original titles like Sam and Max and Uru Live, that subscription will only be worth more and more. I am digging it, I think I may opt for the year deal.
