This week's new release for GameTap subscribers is Runaway: A Road Adventure, a widely acclaimed adventure game that harkens back to classic titles such as Broken Sword. Slick animation, lush visuals and a fun story separate the Runaway from most modern hum-drum adventure games.
Additional Announcements:
* This week we announced that 3D Realms Prey would soon be coming to GameTap.
* Last week saw the debut of GameTap's new Parental Controls which allow parents to create up to 6 sub-accounts for their children. This system also provides web-based tools for parents to schedule play times for each sub-account, limit total time spent playing, and restrict games based on content (ESRB rattings).
New Release For Subscription Service, Available 06.04.09:
Runaway: A Road Adventure- One minute, Brian Basco is a nerdy physics student headed from New York to California for grad school. On his way out of town, he (literally) runs into Gina, a beautiful singer with a secret. As a result, Brian's life is turned upside-down, as he finds himself fleeing from the Mafia with Gina in tow in this stylish adventure game from Focus Interactive.
