ah...i've never used it, so i dont know...i suppose it depends on what titles you get for free, how they've tweaked the games to fit the needs of the gametap thing (in game ads could be present), and what kind of dl speeds you get

I'm pretty sure they don't have ads in the games. None I've tried anyway (only tried free). Only catch is you have to run each game through the Gametap client, which is kinda annoying. But they're free, so...

No ads..99 cents the first month...Sam and Max alone makes it worth it...They even get a few games that are released as soon as the retail version comes out like Overlord..well worth it if you like variety.

I only have a free account there, no ads in-game, and the one ad you have to watch before playing is usually only about 15 seconds or something, if even that.

Atm games worth mentioning for free are: Thief 3, Second Sight, Psychonauts, Tomb Raider Legend, Hitman 1 and 2, Colin McRae 2005 and Blood Omen 2.

It's pretty good imo, good enought to be recommended. Aside from the arcade titles only really played Psychonauts this far but it works just fine, had some sound bugs with Blood Omen 2 which I quickly tried ..then again it's free so who's complaining...

We apologize but the GameTap service is currently only available in the United States and Canada. The GameTap service will be expanding into additional countries in 2007 but no release dates are available at this time.

Riiiiiight...
