GameTap Thursday: the Overlord has arrived
This is one of those GameTap release days where we wish we could e-chuck a blunt object through the tubes, screaming "What are you waiting for?" Overlord is now freely available for all GameTap subscribers and it wishes to claim a chunk of your hard drive space. Not only to rub it in on folks who paid $60 bucks for it, but because it's a wonderfully unique slasher that deserves another chance. That and it's not a good week to be a fan of the Bogard clan.
Real Bout Fatal Fury Special (Neo-Geo) - We tend to love the Real Bout series for the same reason we love the Mortal Kombat 3 series of fighters ... the more busted it is, the more entertaining it gets.
Fatal Fury 2 (Neo-Geo) - Last week you got Fatal Fury Special which is Fatal Fury 2 only with more characters, so feel free to ignore this one. Much like its Special counter-part, this one is mostly notable for the commercial.
Pyramid Magic Special (Genesis) - A Japanese only puzzler that the GameTap folks over at Angled Whiteboards are in love with.
Just Cause (PC) - A GTA-style title that has you jumping from jets, parachuting onto moving trucks and driving without a seat belt. Why, you ask? Uh ... there was a plot? We were too busy being awesome. If you haven't checked it out before, Just Cause is good times.
Police Quest: In Pursuit of the Death Angel (DOS) - Feel free to let out a pump of the fist and a loud expletive of your choice. We're going to assume this means the rest of the series is on the way as well.
Overlord (PC) - If you've gotten this far, that means you're not actually playing it yet. Shame!
As usual, the list of free play titles have been updated and we've even been given a list of all 49 of them, made viewable after the break. Capcom's classic shooter Gunsmoke has been added and that alone is enough for us to be thankful.
