Miktar: "So, despite not being able to play Tomb Raider: Anniversary (available at 12:01AM Eastern) tomorrow on the subscription service, gamers around the world can play Tomb Raider: Legend and 29 other games for free at GameTap.com."
Miktar: I'm not sure where you see a list of games you can play.
Boggle: omi
Boggle: so how exactly does this work ?, you become a gametap subscriber and they allow you to try out certain games ?, or am I not following this correctly :/
Miktar: GameTap has two models:
Miktar: One, is to become a GameTap subscriber, pay the monthly fee, and you can play the full versions of any game they have, as much as you want.
Boggle: O.o
Miktar: Two, is they have the ad-supported 'GameTap Lite', where you click on a game, click on the Rampage button, look at the ad that comes up, then you can play the game.
