Good morning gamers, and welcome once again to another edition of GameTap Thursday. Today, the digital distribution site has some more foul and nasty fun in store for you with The Singing Bone which is the newest episode of American McGee’s Grimm Volume 2. It is free to play for the first 24-hours, but after that you must be a gold member to continue playing it.
The Singing Bone tells the sordid tale of one brother killing another to gain the hand of the princess. When the murdered brother’s skull starts singing of the foul deed that waylaid him, the King is angered. Leave it up to our host Grimm to make a story about fratricide even more dastardly than it already is as he sets forth to foul-up the land with his nasty habits.
Also new this week is Red Faction II from THQ and Saints Row 2 developer Volition. This sci-fi action/FPS game puts players in the position of guiding demolitions expert Alias and his five biologically enhanced squad members on a mission to defend the Republic of Commonwealth. The game features different game elements to keep you interested such as puzzle-solving, stealth-based levels, vehicular combat and multiple endings to give you more replay value.
GameTap has 143 other free games such as Fallout and Hitman in their roster should you be on a budget, so head on over and sign up for some cool PC fun. Next week King Midas, a new episode of Grimm Volume 2 ,will go live so check back with us to see what craven tale of mischief lies in store for you.
