GameTap Thursday: Touching the line of copyright infringement

No, that's not Indiana Jones. Sure, it looks like him and the plot of Cameron Files: Pharaoh's Curse sounds like it was taken from two parts Dr. Jones and one part The Mummy, but it's clearly not copyright infringement. See, Cameron might dress like Indiana Jones, but he's a private investigator, not an archaeologist -- but his friend Moira (pictured) is an archaeologist. Anyway, Cameron Files is still a good modern old-school adventure game. The rest of the GameTap offerings this week are an FPS and two WWII games. Once again, we're more excited about one of the free games going into rotation: Bubble Bobble. The new subscriber games this week are:

• IGI 2: Covert Strike (PC) - One man versus many Chinese terrorists. A stealth FPS that requires you to keep only the items you need to survive. It's like Splinter Cell, but first-person and no Micheal Ironside.
  
• The Cameron Files: Pharaoh's Curse (PC) - A modern adventure game set in Egypt during the WWII. Solve puzzles while pointing and clicking your way to adventure. Just don't call him Indiana.
  
• Strategic Command 2: Blitzkrieg (PC) - A WWII strategy game that's kind of like Advanced Wars, but oh so much more complicated.
• Combat Mission 2: Barbarossa to Berlin (PC) - Another WWII game, but this one is an RTS. The sequel to last week's edition Beyond Overlord.
  

After the break we have GameTap's updated list of free games, now at 41 titles. Bubble Bobble is still our stand-out on that list. But you can always try Tomb Raider III. The last game before Lara became a total mess and needed the Legend makeover.
