GameTap for $5 paid in advance

Oct 26th 2006 5:06PM (Joystiq)
I've been a subscriber to Gametap for a long time. Since I first subscribed, their game count has doubled and includes some amazing games that I never would have played if it weren't for GT (Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, Freespace, Farcry, Homeworld 2 to name a few). They add around 6-10 games every Thursday, which is very exciting because you never know what's coming next week. You know what Gametap reminds me of though? It's like going to Wal-mart and picking up all of those jewel case games for like $10, those Atari emulator things you plug into your TV, and a couple of good modern games. Except with GT, there's 700 of them, and for $10 a month you get like 30 new ones. It's less than the subscription price for most MMORPGs and I get a lot more enjoyment due to the variety (I have played WoW and others, so I'm not just making an uneducated statement.) Online scoreboards are always a plus if you're into that, and they have a decent video service (I enjoy Space Ghost and some of the music videos.) The old school games are emulated perfectly and download lightning fast. It's easy to set them up to use with a controller too. There's games for everyone too... FPS, strategy, arcade, puzzle, family, flight sim, RPG, you name it.
