| | Gamasutra - Turner's GameTap Service Launches |
 | | The service, which recently revealed Stuart Snyder as its general manager, is notable because it dips into the officially licensed back catalog of major game companies such as Activision, Atari, Midway, Namco, Sega, Taito, Ubisoft and Vivendi Universal Games, providing possible new revenue streams for classic titles. |
 | | In addition, GameTap has announced that it is sponsoring the Download Fest '05, held in San Francisco on October 8th, and a "celebration of technology and music" that includes GameTap demo stations, as well as music performances from The Killers, The Doves, The Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, British Sea Power, H.I.M., and more. |
 | | The service is also setting up a 'Gaming Den' to try out GameTap as part of a number of major concerts across North America, setting up at gigs from Beck, My Chemical Romance, Audioslave, Clay Aiken, and Bauhaus, to name but a few. |
