    It's still a while before Grimm shows up on GameTap this summer, so it's time to get back to checking the weekly updates and seeing what can keep those with ADGD (attention deficit gaming disorder) in check. This week GameTap adds a dragon game, the sequel to one of the better-than-you'd-think games on the service and a random board game. I of the Dragon (Windows) - OK, so this dragon game may not be good, but it still scored better than Lair on MetaCritic. Shadowgrounds Survivor (Windows) - The first Shadowgrounds is competent, but the sequel is much better. Just a twitch game that does everything simple and right. Surakarta (Windows) - A checker-ish game from Java. Time to free your mind and get abstract. After the break you'll find GameTap's list of free games with new additions bolded for easy reference. Thief: Deadly Shadows joins the list this week to stalk his next victim. The free list now sports 104 games and there are plenty of good ones in there for freeloaders.
