Special Feature: Gametap.com Redesign

http://www.gametap.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=21363&tstart=0

You may have noticed some changes to GameTap.com today, and I'm happy to walk you through the changes and answer any questions you may have!

The biggest change is our new Daily Events section. Our Daily Events forum has been extremely popular over the last few months, so we have expanded it into its own section of the website! Check out the Daily Events Calendar, it's a lot of fun to play with:

You can view information on each event, get email alerts, post them to social networking sites like Myspace and Facebook, add them to your Google, Outlook, iCal and Yahoo calendars, and lots more super high tech Internet 2.0 stuff!

Our Games section is all-new too, and makes finding games easier than ever:

All of our games are divided into six easy sections: Free Online is a list of games to play free in your web browser, Free can be played by anyone through the GameTap Player, Premium are the games exclusive to our paid subscribers, Originals include our original episodic series Sam & Max and American McGee's Grimm, Indies showcases our awesome GameTap Indies games, and Retail is our selection of games that you can purchase and keep, no subscription required.

There are other little touches everywhere too, we've changed just about every page on the site. We have also, as you have probably noticed, eliminated the "Read" and "Watch" sections of the website, due to a lack of new content. Unfortunately this means that the old content is no longer accessible, at least for the time being.

Freespace 2
1999 | Action Strategy | Windows | Interplay
FreeSpace2_WIN_Inter_205_4bdd0.PNG


The Terrans and Vasudans put aside their differences three decades ago and united to battle an ominous new menace. Now that enemy has returned...along with political infighting that threatens to tear the alliance apart. Freespace 2 is a high-adrenaline interstellar dogfighting sim that offers a rich, complex and unpredictable storyline to go with the unforgettable space battles.

Inca Ball
2007 | Puzzle | Windows | Strategy First

IncaBall_WIN_StratFirst_205_99f91.png


The balls continually roll down a predefined track, level after level, and it’s your job to clear them out by adding balls to the track and matching colors. When all the balls are gone, you’re whisked off to the next twisty track. All with a familiar Central American


Aveyond
2007 | Role-Playing | Windows | Amaranth Games

Aveyond_WIN_Amaranth_205_76161.png


The demon lord Ahriman has long been sealed in his own plane, forgotten. But he has been plotting revenge, and drawn an army of demonic daevas to him. When Ahriman breaks through the demon portal, it falls to a young village girl named Rhen to take up the mantle of heroism and save the world. From innocent villager to slave girl to sword singer and beyond, Rhen's quest has just begun.


ClayFighter™
1993 | Fighting | Genesis | Interplay

Clayfighter_GEN_Inter_205_9a550.PNG


This isn't your typical tournament fighting game! Clay Fighter brings something new to the table with its squishy clay stars. You'll face off against everything from shrieking valkyries to bad Elvis impersonators, all stop-motion animated for a touch of personality you just won't find in an ordinary martial arts challenge.

It's great that they got Freespace 2 back on the service.

Gametap is still a phenomenal bargain and well worth paying for if you have even a mild interest in some older games and systems but don't want to mess with emulation or DOSbox.

If you have not yet played Freespace 2 do it now!

It was the last great space action game imo. (Starlancer was kinda meh and Freelancer had a different approach)

Indeed, shame that so few people seem to realize this, such an underrated service. ANyway, I am stoked that Fallout is finally coming out for the thing.
