This week over at GameTap, the PC game subscription service has added Dracula: Origin to its premimum list of games users can check out with their monthly fee. The horror adventure game that deals with the classic vampire was developed by Frogwares who is best known for their series of Sherlock Holmes-themed adventure games including this year's Sherlock Holmes Vs Jack The Ripper.

Also this week, the open world action game Just Cause is now free to play for a week on GameTap. The title from developer Avalanche Studios and publisher Eidos just got its movie rights bought out this week. Finally check out two more upcoming GameTap TV commercials created by the Mega64 team after the jump:

Mega64 is a street theater group that re-enacts video games in public places, making them "embarrassingly real." Those re-enactments are recorded on video and displayed on the internet. Previously, the troupe has acted out Hitman, Resident Evil 4, and Ico, among others. One of their videos even guest starred Shigeru Miyamoto! Their latest is based on Assassin's Creed, and it's one of their best yet. We've it embedded here for your viewing pleasure.

This one is particularly brilliant. In the game, Altair performs all these actions in order to keep a low profile. In fact, that's the whole shtick of the game -- blending in. Apparently, though, the activities don't work so well in the real world! If we'd seen this man at our local market, we'd have immediately yelled "Assassin!" in a bad Arabic accent!
