The four-part episodic game is a space combat title formerly planned for launch in the Summer of 2007. However, it suffered from constant delays, and in early 2008, GameTap announced that it had canceled its deal with 3000AD. "It was a good game, it was very solid, but as we were going through, it ended up not being the right title for our audience," says [[Ricardo Sanchez (video games)|Ricardo Sanchez]]. "It was a tough call. I think it’s one of the strongest games [Derek] ever made. We put a lot of effort into it...I honestly think it's one of Derek’s strongest games."<ref>{{Cite web |url= http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=17391|title= GameTap Cancels Galactic Command Publishing Deal|accessdate= 2008-04-11|first= Leigh|last=Alexander|date= 2008-02-14}}</ref> On May 15, 2007, ''PC Gamer'' magazine premiered the first look at GameTap's newest original game, ''[[American McGee's Grimm Tales]]'', a 24 part episodic series by game designer [[American McGee]].
