One format that had previously been given negative reviews by consumers from all over the world is where the game software itself is hosted on a server and not your platform. However, this may all change with the introduction of a new dedicated online gaming service, GameTap.

Is the market ripe for such a move? What is GameTap going to offer to the online gaming community? Best of all, is this service going to be worth the subscription fee?

In an upcoming Uberw00t review, I'll be asking these very same questions myself. Hopefully, I'll be able to provide you, our dedicated fans, the information you seek before investing in such a purchase. I'll give you the low-down and the throw-down on the latest and greatest GameTap has to offer.

So, keep those twitchy trigger fingers off the Fire button, gamers and stay tuned for one awesome review.

I have actually been very curious about how gametap works and performs. I know that it streams, but I am curious about the load times and what not. This is a review that I am looking forward to.

I too am looking forward to seeing this review Rob.:happy63:

Just to let you folks know the review was completed last week, but there is a perfectly good reason why there is a delay in getting it posted.

Trust me...you'll understand.

FB, you've got PM.

Hmmm... could this have something to do with the mysterious "big announcement"? Detective Bionic is on the case

Nah, nothing of the sort. O.K., here's what it is...

Apparently, the sun just released a massive solar flare that's been heading this way for quite a while. In an argument with droeblek9 about the effects of the solar storm whereas it is my belief that a Fantastic Four event could happen and he wrongfully believes that the solar storm will actually cause a disruption in the space-time continuim.

If I win, droeblek9 has to say, "Rob is the greatest" and if he wins, I have to show my picture.

That's the big announcement we're waiting on. The fate of the world depends upon the outcome of this argument. The event should take place shortly after the announcement over at PimpRig this weekend.

That's all it was about....nothing much.

hahaha rob you crack me up. Actually, you know all that's going to happen is a little bit of static during your cell phone calls. Ok, so since I win the bet, you have to tell me what the big announcement is

In all seriousness, I'm interested in reading this review. I see the GameTap ads all the time on TV and wonder if it's really worth it
