Majesco on Gametap

With digital distribution gaining steam (no pun intended), it is only natural for publishers to set their games loose online. GameTap, an up and coming rival of Steam, has netted Majesco Entertainment, which will see various games including Psychonauts, BloodRayne 1 & 2 and Jaws Unleashed being available for subscription play and digital download on the service. This deal will also see Majesco titles being made available on GameTap’s recently launched ad-supported game play website.

“Given the limited shelf space and relatively quick turn of titles at retail nowadays, we consider GameTap to be a valuable vehicle that can help extend the video game lifecycle,” said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing at Majesco.

More of the publisher’s games are expected to hit the online service.
