GameTap adds 1,000th game to library, conquers universe
Mark your calendars, folks. Today, GameTap adds two more titles to its already staggering amount of games to finally hit the magic number of 1,000. This makes GameTap easily the largest on-demand gaming service ever created. If you haven't chekced them out in awhile, I suggest that you do so. So, what game had the privledge of being the milestone, you ask? Sid Meier's Civilization IV caps the list, and is a mighty fine addition to boot. Granted, I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't choose to add Hello Kitty: Lovely Fruit Park for the Dreamcast as the 1,000th game, but I guess Civ. IV will do the job just fine. We here at Destructoid congratulate GameTap on this achievement, and completely support them on their way to 2,000 titles. Let's just hope that the next 1,000 games doesn't contain E.T. from the Atari. Interested in GameTap? Milk them for every game they've got for 99 cents for the first month (which includes stuff like Clive Barker's Jericho and Overlord.) They're cheap, and what gamer doesn't like cheap? Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Me too nademagnet. I guess I finally have to subscribe this holiday season, as there's just too many games to possibly buy. 1000 games is alot of catching up though.
Thanks Mike! What the hell... I'm trying to look up the pricing for Gametap, but I cannot find it on the main site... I'm at work, so I cannot download the program on the front page. I guess you have to be in the program to view their pricing scheme. Google Price Search GET! @Nade - Click the second link in the article. It takes you directly to the "Learn More" area with pricing and whatnot. And if you're a cheap bastard like me, they have 50 of those 1000 games up for free, including Ghosts 'n Goblins and Ghouls 'n Ghosts. And two Darkstalkers games, and Street Fighter II. And other stuff not made by Capcom.
And if you're not a cheap bastard like me, they have TYPING OF THE DEAD. Gametap is pretty sweet. The price of one 360 game gets you a year's access to tons of great games, many of them great old ones. They have a ton of 2D fighters that you can play online, and thats the big hook for me. Makes me sad.. i would get it but i feel kinda risky putting a credit card to only 99c.. i think this service is great and totaly worth it, but i get basic which is fun anyway.. think they will ever use paypal? Been looking at getting this soon, the library is really legitimate now, lots of support from Capcom and Konami titles in there. I need to find some kind of decent controller to use for it though, all modern PC controllers (and most console ones) have shit for dpads. One little-known thing about Gametap that more people should know about it sub-accounts. Basically, with one single account, you get 7 extra accounts for free. These sub-accounts can be given to pretty much anyone, and give 100% access to Gametap.
