 Announcement: GameTap Partners With Microsoft Game Studios ATLANTA – May 7, 2009 – GameTap is pleased to announce a new content partnership with Microsoft Game Studios that grants U.S. and European subscription play rights for many of the publisher’s legendary PC games for Windows.
As part of this arrangement, GameTap subscribers will have access to a selection of beloved classics from Microsoft such as Age of Mythology, Age of Empires 2, Rise of Nations, Freelancer, Fable: The Lost Chapters, Mech Warrior 4: Mercenaries and the Zoo Tycoon series.
“We’re thrilled to add to the library of great PC games on the new GameTap through this partnership with Microsoft Games,” said Pierre Forest, VP of Content. “These games have proven to be some of the most played games in our catalogues in Europe, and we expect they will have the same success in the US.”

Re: Announcement: GameTap Partners With Microsoft Game Studios Yay! I've wanted to play the later Mechwarriors. I have Freelancer, but not having to have a CD works, too.

Re: Announcement: GameTap Partners With Microsoft Game Studios Mechwarrior.. while I'd much prefer a newer more complex revision of it, Mechwarrior 4 is still a favorite.

Re: Announcement: GameTap Partners With Microsoft Game Studios I am glad to see that GameTap is working to bring more games to play....What I would really like to see is the download speeds where they used to be. Cause it sucks right now and has since they switched to the browser mode.

Re: Announcement: GameTap Partners With Microsoft Game Studios O... M... G... FREELANCER!!! I had lost the disk way back when and while I'll miss not being able to install any mods (or make any myself because of the X: drive technology), I'll definitely give this one another spin! THANK YOU!

Re: Announcement: GameTap Partners With Microsoft Game Studios I'm glad to see Zoo Tycoon is the "Complete Collection". Hopefully, Age of Mythology and Rise of Nations will be the gold versions too. I hope Gametap also gets Zoo Tycoon 2 eventually.
