Gametap & Codemasters recently announced a 2 year deal to bring Codemaster games such as Overlord to NA subscribers starting soon. The games to be added will also include some release day openings (like Gametap did with Tomb Raider: Anniversary). This is a good move for Gametap & Codemasters - it helps Gametap keep adding some great stuff, and helps Codemasters get more circulation for their titles.

Here is a detailed announcement from joystiq.com (Full Page Link Here)

Online PC and Mac gaming smorgasbord GameTap is teaming up with Codemasters for a two-year North American deal featuring Codemasters’ software to GameTap subscribers on day and date of release. Along with this deal, GameTap will have Codemasters’ recent releases like Colin McRae DIRT and the incredibly enjoyable (and depressingly overlooked) Overlord available to subscribers soon. GameTap subscribers will have no excuse not to try Overlord. The minions from Overlord are what you wish the darklings from The Darkness would have been like. Beyond the games mentioned, potential superstar title Clive Barker’s Jericho and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty will be part of that future day and date deal. All these titles will also be available to purchase through GameTap’s digital store, but seriously, the cost of one game will get you four months of GameTap service.

We continue to be impressed with GameTap’s expanding services and ridiculously affordable price, not to mention their free ad-driven gaming space. GameTap now has their Mac client, the RE\Visioned series, a massive list of franchises, and in many cases you can play the games with your keyboard and mouse or hook up a Xbox 360 controller (wired or wireless) for a console feel. The Codemasters partnership looks like it’ll save PC gamers much cash in the future — always a good thing.

Things are looking up for GameTap!

GameTap is making some Waves on Blogspot with some very very ambitious players going through and reviewing games. The Waves were started by a certain brave soul named Mookie who has taken on the monumental task of playing and rating every single game that GameTap offers! Check out his blog here: http://howgametapkilledme.blogspot.com/

What? You don’t know what GameTap is?? Wow!

GameTap is a repository of hundreds of video games, from RPG’s to FPS games.. from PC Games all the way back to Atari 2600 games (Thats right - Old School is New again!). Check it out at http://www.gametap.com/ and expect future information here, I will be taking a leaf out of Mookies book and reviewing some games here! I will not be so ambitious as to try and review every single game, but it will be interesting to see how many I can do. Heck, you can even head over to our Forums and start your own GT thread(s) with reviews!
