GameTap Thursday: Bite the Apple with a new player
It's been quite the devil and angel week with the GameTap news. Things were not well when it turned out GameTap was losing a good percentage of games due to contractual issues, but the service rallied yesterday with the good news that there was a new GameTap player which was fully compatible with Intel-based Macs. Enough about that, let's talk new games this week on GameTap.
Perimeter (PC) - Do not miss out on Perimeter, a little gem that doesn't get its due. A race known as the Scourge can turn into your worst nightmares and in this RTS you'll have to keep the perimeter up and protecting your base. A great RTS for those who always wanted a game that was more defense than offense.
Carrier Air Wing (Arcade) - A Capcom schmup from the early '90s, so you know it's competent.
Blowout (PC) - Um, did we mention Perimeter? We're sure Blowout is fine, but seriously, play Perimeter.
After the break we have GameTap's list of free games. There are a few new free games this week and they are bolded for easy reference. Thief: Deadly Shadows joins the free section along with John Romero's Daikatana. Keep working on Psychonauts if you have finished it. Mac users have access to the free games -- just as long as it isn't a "windows" game.
