GameTap Claims Uru, Sam and Max 36
ThPhox writes "Uru has returned. Uru was originally released three years ago, but was canceled while still in beta testing due to a lack of funding. Shortly after it was canceled, Cyanworlds released a patch for the single player game called Until Uru, which allowed players to play for a small fee, without any new content, on player run servers. Originally supported by Ubisoft, the new Uru Live is supported by Turner Broadcasting's Gametap service." Next Generation has the related news that GameTap will be offering the episodic Sam and Max titles from TellTale Games, when those are released.

The online part was pretty cool, since you could get help from other people to solve the puzzles in the areas you could group in. It's a boon for people like me who love the puzzles, but suck at them.

Is it any better than a video store or a Netflix style model?
I have to admit I am curious but I am aprehensive of online content delivery subscription services.
Thanks for your insight.

If you want to play the newest games, your best bet would be Gamefly which is like a video games Netflicks. Except they are console only.

such as SQ10:The Latex Babes of Estros
SQ12:Vohaul's Revenge
and some others I can't quite recall.
That was one cool game. I was actually heartbroken when I found the SQ line was cancelled.
Sam and Max said it best.. (Score:2)
Max: Another confused census taker?
Sam: Actually, it was the Commissioner with another idiotic and baffling assignment.
Max: Does it involve wanton destruction?
Sam: We can only hope.

"The new Sam & Max titles, however, will not be exclusive to the service - consumers will also be able to purchase the episodes directly from developer TellTale game's website following their GameTap debut."
Lucky for you, we're all with you on this. Except for the $60 part.
