GameTap released three new Premium Games (for subscribers) and one new free game (for anyone) today. To show what PC and Mac gamers can now play, we’ve included vintage videos of each of the games below.
But first up, GameTap has also signed a new deal with THQ to bring top titles and franchises from the publisher.
The deal is for a long-term partnership between GameTap and THQ that includes worldwide subscription play and digital download rights for a wide selection of THQ’s PC games. Certain THQ games will also be playable for free via GameTap.
As part of the agreement, GameTap now features games from the THQ and ValuSoft catalogs including Company of Heroes, Warhammer 40K, Red Faction, Supreme Commander, Titan Quest, Saints Row 2, PuzzleQuest: Challenge of the Warlords and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.
Premium Games on GameTap today include:
Fallout
It’s the year 2161, 84 years after a two-hour-long war that destroyed most of civilization. Mankind soldiers on, living out a hardscrabble life on the surface or holing up in great Vaults built inside caves. You’re a member of Vault 13 somewhere in Southern California, and the Vault Overseer’s got a job for you: find a replacement water purification chip within 150 days, or your home is doomed.
Aveyond 2: Ean’s Quest
Ean has lived carefree in the Vale, the land of the Elves, without fear or pain all his years. Until the snow came, and with it came loss. His best friend Iya, missing; all memory of her erased, save his own. Now he must travel to the Land of Man, and face challenges and dangers beyond his young ability to imagine. But if he fails, Iya is lost forever…and the snow will fall across the world.
Battle Chess
Admit it — you’ve always wished chess were more violent. The knights carry swords, so they should use them. In Battle Chess, you get your wish: a faithful recreation of the ancient game, plus a whole bunch of hilariously brutal cutscenes. Blast computer opponents or humiliate a friend, then create your own versions of the game for customized combat!
Free Games (available July 23rd) include:
Knights of the Round
Knight-in-training Arthur Pendragon has pulled the legendary sword Excalibur from its stone, and now it’s up to him and his partners Lancelot and Perceval to bring peace to the land by beating down anyone who gets in their way. Enjoy three-player mayhem in this medieval brawler.
