GameTap Thursday: Going rogue trooper

It's another one of those "let's talk about the free game" weeks, with the under-appreciated Rogue Trooper entering free game rotation at GameTap. It's not mind-bendingly awesome, but if you're looking for a competent third-person shooter to play it certainly fits the bill. In case any Mac owners missed the big news last week, the new GameTap player is now fully compatible with Intel-based Macs. New games for GameTap subscribers this week are:

• Brigade E5 (PC) - A mercenary gets sent to South America to complete a mission. If you really, really can't wait until next year's Mercenaries 2 then this should make a moderate substitute. And by "moderate" we mean none at all.
  
• Texas Hold 'em (PC) - The gateway drug to playing games for real money online and losing your house.
  
• Seal of Evil (PC) - A Diablo-esque game that takes place in a Dynasty Warriors faux version of China.

After the break we have GameTap's list of free games. Thief: Deadly Shadows and Psychonauts are still available, along with many of the Hitman games.
