GameTap

Over on GameTap, five new games have been put on the service: two PC games (Hitman 2 and Legacy of Kain), and three Neo-Geo games. I know you are shocked but we’re already up to King of Fighters 2002. Only five more years to go. Just kidding, there is no King of Fighters 2007 – at least not that I know of! Obviously the Eidos/SNK relationship is a good one for GameTap, but boy I’m dying for some new Sega Saturn games here!

Well that wraps up another week of downloads. One quick note, I should point out to our foreign friends that this column is only talking about releases for the US market. Your mileage may vary if you’re in Europe or Japan. And with that note, keep your game pads on the ground and keep reaching for the Wiimote. - Dan Clarke.
