GameTap Thursday: Civ IV Warlords, Descent 3 and American Deer Hunter

Some more Interplay titles return to GameTap this week, but the really nice addition is that of Civilization IV's expansion, Warlords. It added several new elements to the excellent turn-based strategy game, like the Great General unit, vassal states and unique buildings for each nation.

Civilization IV: Warlords (Windows) - The expansion to Civ IV. There are also several scenarios in Warlords to try out if you're not looking for the full-blown world conquering experience.
Descent 3 (Windows) - Shoot everything in 360 degrees of blasting awesomeness (for a third time).
American Deer Hunting (Windows) - PETA will thank you for playing this game instead of being a real man and killing yourself a big ol' buck.

GameTap's free games list gets several new additions this week. We've placed the full list after the break and bolded the new titles for easy reference.

I still have Descent 3. That was a fun game. Might have to pop it in and play it again.

I have Civ IV Warlords, but since my original Civ disk is broken, and I have a different computer now, I can't play it. I miss Civ IV.

The best Descent clone, Forsaken, was and still is one of my favourite games of all time. Especially the N64 version. I remember Hyper magazine here in Australia comparing all 3 and finding the N64 version on top, having the best control scheme and best multiplayer, with 640x480 graphics nearly as good as the PC version (and 10x better than the atrocious Ps1 version). I still, do this day, remain 100% undefeated in the N64 versions split-screen multiplayer. My alias which i am using right now (and i use in every single game i ever play) is the name of the character from Forsaken i always used. When that game decides to grace the Virtual Console i will be a very happy man. That and Shadowman are my 2 most-looking-forward-to N64 Virtual Console titles. It was so rediculously underrated for its time (espcially on N64, i never knew anyone else who owned it) and looked amazing, one of the only N64 game to really showcase beautiful coloured lighting effects vibrantly and beautifully.

wasn't there only like three descent clones?

Three? I can only remember two of them. Forsaken and Terracide. Forsaken was filled with colored lighting. You could almost get a seizure from all the damn color. Terracide, well that games was just terrible.

I miss Descent I and II. I remember using my Logitech Wingman Extreme joystick to play it. It was like the perfect joystick for those games. Used the coolie hat to strafe.

What's the deal, Civ IV:Warlords is not free when you go to this site, the other ones are though.

it doesn't say CIv: warlords is free. Civ, Descent and Deer Hunting you have to pay for... its the long list afterwards that is free.

(may i recommend Psychonauts, Deus Ex, Thief 3, Blast Miner, Rogue Trooper, Commandos 3, All the Hitman Games, Colin McRae 2005 and Tomb Raider Legend.
(in about that order)).

everytime I see "warlords" i somehow hope for Warlords 3. (or warlords 4)

ps/ if any game devs are reading - YOU REALLY SHOULD MAKE WARLORDS 3/4/5 for the DS!!!!
(or if its true that you are really making it, you really should get a move on!)

What happened to Warlords from Strategy First, Glyphic??????? (it is a Warlords 2 clone for those of you who don't know)

No E3 announcement and it wasnt on the release list..... say it didn't get cancelled!!! That is the ONE game I've really been excited about!!!
