Here’s what you do in the RPG that’s rated M for Mature with Animated Blood & Gore. “It’s the year 2161, 84 years after a two-hour-long war that destroyed most of civilization. Mankind soldiers on, living out a hardscrabble life on the surface or holing up in great Vaults built inside caves. You’re a member of Vault 13 somewhere in Southern California, and the Vault Overseer’s got a job for you: find a replacement water purification chip within 150 days, or your home is doomed.”
With Fallout 2 from 1998 also recently having been added to the service, you can play both futuristic RPG adventures to your heart’s content until Fallout 3 arrives on October 28th, 2008.

GameTap is an online “broadband gaming network” for PC users that’s subcription-based, but also makes certain classic (gold) games available for free-to-play from time to time. Next week Deus Ex will be added to the free games rotation. All you have to do to play it is be connected online and download GameTap’s launcher program, reports Shacknews.

The story takes place in “a world where the future is always uncertain… a world where the key to survival is held by a chosen few, and where terrorism is fueled by intense desperation. As operative JC Denton, you have a difficult decision to make: do you complete your mission and ensure the safety of the rich and powerful, or do you rebel for the sake of the millions who would be doomed without you?”
Minimum System Requirements:
* CPU speed greater than or equal to 500 MHz
* OS Type equal to 32-bit
* Physical memory greater than or equal to 128 MB
