WHAT
[via cnn]
The service, known as GameTap, will launch this fall with up to 300 game titles from 17 video game publishers. New titles will be rolled out weekly, and the service has licensed more than 1,000 titles so far.
The subscribers will have an “all-you-can-play” gaming service on up to two personal computers as long at they pay a monthly fee. The games are downloaded to the customers’ PC, not played across a network, giving them faster response times.
HOW
[via official site]
To access GameTap, players securely download and install Turner-developed client software from www.gametap.com that acts as a gateway to the GameTap library. Because games reside securely on the PC, not across a network, they act just as if they were still on the console or at the arcade. Fast response times, 3D effects, colors, and characters are all present and accounted for. GameTap supports navigation and game play using both keyboard and mouse, as well as most USB peripherals.
TYPES OF GAMES
[via Los Angeles Times] …games such as “Pac-Man,” “Tony Hawk’s Pro-Skater 2,” “Sonic 3″ and “Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.”
