More gaming goodness for you now, with news that the GameTap service, which has now been in business for over a year and amassed a catalogue of more than 800 console, arcade, and computer games, is adding even more top-rated strategy-based content to sate your videogames desire while taxing your grey matter.

The likes of Bungie’s Myth II: Soulblighter, Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri, and X-Com: UFO Defense are being added to GameTap’s existing selection, and each promises to bring something a little different to gamers eager to flex their brains while also enjoying the best in sword & sorcery, alien exploration, and even the turn-based defence of planet Earth. Can you resist?

Beyond the obvious draw of its expansive gaming content, GameTap also provides its subscribers with unlimited access to more than 600 original television shows and videos that "cater to fans of the videogame lifestyle", though GamerSquad isn’t quite sure exactly what that quote is supposed to mean.

Myth II: Soulblighter was born from the creative minds at Bungie Studios, who brought the gaming world one the biggest franchises of all time – Halo. Mixing strategy with fantasy, this medieval masterpiece will win over gamers who like a good evening of dungeon crawling and undead skewering. When Soulblighter originally launched, gaming gurus GameSpot said, "Myth 2 is about as good as a computer game can possibly be."

"The recent release of Myth II on GameTap warmed many Bungie hearts," said Harold Ryan, Studio Manager at Bungie Studios. "Now Myth II is going to be more accessible for contemporary gamers who will get to enjoy one of the most fun and addictive real-time strategy games ever made, if we say so ourselves."

Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri reflects one of the greatest contributions to evolving the strategy genre. As players explore an alien planet, it is up to them to uncover its mysteries while also build their empire, and conquering enemies with the ultimate war machine. Alpha Centauri title received a score of 98% from PC Gamer, the publication’s highest game score rating to date.

"Not only is Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri one of the most intricate and subtle game systems I’ve worked on, it was great fun creating the characters and populating the world," said Brian Reynolds, CEO of Big Huge Games and Alpha Centauri Lead Designer. "I’m thrilled that GameTap is making the game widely available again."

X-Com: UFO Defense scored an impressive 94% on GameRankings.com, and this legendary turn-based game is considered one of the defining titles of the genre. Players lead a top-secret paramilitary group tasked with protecting Earth from hostile aliens, while relying on both combat and management simulation gameplay to save the day.

Players can visit the GameTap Vault to get access to even more top strategy games such as Myth III, Civilization III: Gold Edition, Command & Conquer, Homeworld I and II, Heroes of Might and Magic I, II and III, and Empire Earth.
