Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

Forget what I said earlier about the wave of online game rental sites popping up and the whole – getting heavier because you don’t have to go to the movie shop anymore to get your game(s). Now there’s Gametap? I wasn’t aware this was even in the works. That’s the beauty of the net isn’t it? You may here snippets of news here and there about a new service coming out, but really you don’t because the interweb is so huge. You’re left thinking “eh, where the heck did this site come from?” If it was a tangible business; one that you could walk by everyday and think – “oh, they’re putting up the drywall now honey, the sign says they’ll be open in 2 months…ok”. Then that would come as no surprise. But Gametap, is the idea really new though. Downloadable games have been around since the internet and video games coexisted. However web-based, easy to use services aren’t all that new. It was just a matter of someone with the resources putting the two together.

For those who don’t already know, Gametap is a subscription service that allows people to download all sort’s of games. If you sign up now, it’s free for 1 month and then $9.95 for 3 months. After that it’s $14.95/month. The games are actually downloaded to your computer. How does that work with piracy I wonder?
