New this week
September 25th, 2008 by mixednut
Fallout 2 arrives this week, and to help give you some background on the game we’re making the original Fallout this week’s new free game! While that’s good news, there’s even bigger and better things new this week to GameTap.
Remember when Turner announced they were considering various strategic options concerning GameTap? Well, as of yesterday, it’s official that Turner Broadcasting is partnering with Metaboli to create a truly global online gaming service. Check out the press release and a short FAQ in our forums where TheRedEye does a great job explaining the deets.
I had the pleasure of meeting some of the folks who run Metaboli yesterday, and besides being swell fellows all around (with great senses of humor to boot), they downright get the gaming industry and love to game themselves. I’m very excited about the potential here, and can’t wait to see where this new partnership takes us!

Note: this post has been updated to correctly indicate that Fallout will not be rotated out of the free games next week, so take your time playing it!

Yay, Fallout 2. I just finished Fallout last night, so this is great timing. Thanks for bringing a great series to Gametap.
The Metaboli thing is interesting. Hopefully this will lead to good things.

the sale to metaboli might be enough to get me to resubscribe. if it starts to look like gametap will finally get something other than the shovelware (and i include the grimm games in that characterization) every week then it might be worth my money again.

Really, the whole Metaboli thing could go either way. Maybe good, maybe bad. Time will tell, I guess
