GameTap today announced a new and improved game player that expands the GameTap experience for broadband-enabled PC and Intel-based Mac users. With the new faster and lighter GameTap player, games launch more quickly and it is even easier to search for and discover games. The player has updated community features, such as the Buddy Hub, which makes it easier to find, talk to and play games with your friends online.

In addition to faster updates, a cleaner interface and improved game search, the new GameTap player does not require registration and features a GameTap.com navigation bar in the player for fans to get better access to all their favorite sections of the website – including Read and GameTap TV. With the new GameTap player, Mac users can now access SEGA Saturn and Dreamcast games, including each console’s biggest hits, from Crazy Taxi for the Dreamcast to Saturn’s Panzer Dragoon. With TransGaming’s Cider technology, GameTap’s free and Gold level membership features will run on Intel-based Macs including Mac Books and Mac Minis. Learn more by visiting www.gametap.com .

High-definition audio output not doing it for you? Can’t afford the luxury of a gigantic screen? In that case, the Gyroxus chair may be another option for becoming completely immersed in your favorite games.

Owing to the lack of an overarching storyline, Mount & Blade is a game that’s difficult to get into at first. If you can get past the growing pains, however, it offers a compelling, dynamic world that you are free to explore at your leisure and a combat model that is both frenetic and addicting.
