As they did during the Thanksgiving holiday, the GameTap PC game subscription service has decided to activate an update early in the week before Christmas. This week subscribers to the service's premium tier can add Civilization IV: Colonization to the games available to play for free via a monthly fee.

The game itself, released in 2008, is a kind of stand alone mod for the Firaxis-developed strategy game focusing on the colonization of the New World. Also, GameTap's free title is still Rogue Trooper. Anyone who signs on can play that Rebellion-developed action title on their free portion of the subscription service.

GameTap's regular Thursday update brings us the latest entry in the episodic American McGee's Grimm series. This time it's the classic fable Pinocchio that gets the treatment in the weird fairy tale series. As with all of the previous entries this new chapter is free to play for its first 24 hours.

Also added as a free game on GameTap is Rogue Trooper. Based on the UK comic book character, this sci-fi action game from 2006 is from developer Rebellion and publisher Eidos and will remain free to play on the service until March 12. In addition, Fable: The Lost Chapters has been added to GameTap's premium service.
